Type species Entypus ochrocerus Dahlbom, 1843 View in CoL , by monotypy.
Remarks. Only one species of Entypus was present in our sample: E. ochrocerus Dahlbom. In the literature, however, three other names of Entypus are associated with the Dominican Republic fauna: E. caeruleus (Linneus) , E. sulphureicornis (Palisot de Beauvois) , and E. manni (Banks) . Entypus caeruleus and E. sulphureicornis were recorded from Hispaniola by Perez-Gelabert (2008) as Pepsis species. Day (1979) formally transferred the first name to Entypus , while E. sulphureicornis was transferred by Vardy (2005) to Entypus based on a personal communication from Day. Both names do not have recent citations other than Perez-Gelabert (2008) and we do not include them in our key for the Dominican Republic Pompilidae . Entypus manni was first described as Cryptocheilus by Banks (1928), who provided a detailed description.
Perez-Gelabert (2008) did not have any new material and his work was based on literature only. As the material we studied for this review contained no individuals of E. caeruleus , E. sulphureicorni , or E. manni , it remains uncertain whether these species are truly present in the Dominican Republic. Further studies of Entypus in the Caribbean are needed.
