New records. DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO: Oriental [Province],Yangambi [04°45′N, 24°25′E], 28.vi.–5.vii.1960, ex: raiding column: end (most), central (few), nest, leg. D. H. and A. C. Kistner, R. Banfill (3 spec., FMNH).

‘ Paranisopsis kenyensis’: KENYA: Karen, 31.vii.1960, ex: end of emigration column [of Dorylus (Anomma) species], nest no. 41, leg. G. R. Cunningham - Van Someren (22 spec., FMNH); Karen, 1.viii.1960, ex: end of emigration column [of Dorylus (Anomma) nigricans burmeisteri var. molestus ], nest no. 42, leg. G. R. Cunningham – Van Someren (1 spec., FMNH). Note. This series of specimens was marked as a new taxon ( P. kenyensis ) by G. Fagel in the early 1960s, but apparently this name has never been published. It is considered to be the same as O. luteus . The head and pronotum of a male from this series are illustrated on Fig. 3 .

Distribution. Democratic Republic of the Congo ( FAGEL 1960), Kenya.

Remarks. The transfer to Oxytelus requires an adjustment of the gender of the species name.
