Abstract: Evans, Howard E. Bredin-Archbold-Smithsonian Biological Survey of Dominica: Aculeate Wasps (Hymenoptera: Scolioidea, Vespoidea, Pompiloidea, Sphecoidea). Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, number 115, 19 pages, 20 figures, 1972.— The Aculeate wasp fauna of Dominica includes 52 species belonging to 10 families. Of these, 21 species belonging to 2 families of Bethyloidea were treated in an earlier paper; the remainder are treated here. These include 4 species of Tiphiidae, 1 Mutillidae, 1 Scoliidae, 1 Eumenidae, 1 Vespidae, 7 Pompilidae, and 15 Sphecidae. Eight species are described as new. Two of these are Pompilidae: Dipogon spangleri and Ageniella insulivaga. The remaining six new species are Sphecidae: Liris gryllicida, L. dominicana, L. sophiae, L. radulina, Trypoxylon layouanum, and Ectemnius dominicanus. Three new synonymies are indicated: Batazonus hookeri Rohwer and B. mundiformis Rohwer are placed in the synonymy of Poecilopompilus mixtus (Fabricius) (Pompilidae), and Larrada ignipennis Smith is placed in the synonymy of Liris labiata (Fabricius) (Sphecidae). A single record of a member of the family Chrysididae (Bethyloidea) is also included. Of the 31 species covered in this paper, 10 are confined to Dominica (so far as presently known), 8 occur widely in the Lesser Antilles, 4 are predominantly Greater Antillean species, 3 are probably arrivals from South America, and 6 are widely distributed Neotropical species. Official publication date is handstamped in a limited number of initial copies and is recorded in the Institution's annual report, Smithsonian Year.
