Psorthaspis naomi ( Smith, 1855) View in CoL
Parapompilus naomi Smith, 1855 , Catalogue of hymenopterous insects in the collection of the British Museum. Mutillidae and Pompilidae , part III, p. 177 [Holotype: ♀ DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, Santo Domingo (BMNH)].
Diagnosis. This species can be recognized by the following combination of characters: the integument is black; the tomentum is blue; the pronotum does not have the collar differentiated from the disc ( Figs 7I–J View FIGURE 7 ); the clypeus is continuously round; the wings are translucent, and have a broad, dark cloud covering the first radial 2 cell; the fore wing has the Cu vein distinctly deflected downward at the base forming a posterior pocket in the second medial cell.
Distribution. Dominican Republic.
Host. Unknown.
Remarks. The presence of this species in the Dominican Republic is based on its original description. The holotype has not been studied, nor additional material has been found. This species is likely a synonym of Psorthaspis hispaniolae , but further study is needed to make any taxonomic changes.
