Epipompilus insolitus Evans
Aulocostethus bifasciatus Haupt, 1930, Mitt. Zool. Mus. Berlin, 16: 763. — Bradley, 1944, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, 70: 145. Misidentification, not bifasciatus Ashmead 1902.
Epipompilus insolitus Evans, 1961, Psyche, 68: 35-36 [Type: 2, Costa Rica: Turrialba (Univ. Halle, Germany)].
This species appears closely related to the two which follow, but has little in common with Ashmead's bifasciatus, from Brazil, which I redescribed in 1961. Haupt has figured the head, pronotum, and fore wing of this species.
Female. — Length 7 mm. Yellowish-brown, the following black: head, apical half of antennae, first, third, and fourth tergites, apex of hind femora, and outer base of hind tibiae; coxae and hind tibiae with whitish markings. Fore wing twice-banded. Body densely covered with short whitish hairs. Ocellar triangle weakly acute in front, POL and OOL subequal. Pronotum short, hind margin obtusely angulate; postnotum half as long as metanotum. Hind tibiae with scattered short spines.
Male. — Unknown.
Distribution. — Costa Rica; known only from the type. (Map 7. )
