H o s t Bembix sp. ( Hymenoptera : Crabronidae ).

D i s t r i b u t i o n: Djibouti, Namibia, South Africa, Sudan.

Known from the Palaearctic Region. LINSENMAIER (1999: 257) treated this species as bona species without seeing any material, therefore we are following KIMSEY & BOHART (1990). The lectotype designation of Parnopes apicalis WALKER by KIMSEY (1986b: 109) should be checked, because the type locality is situated in Djibouti.
