Odynerus parvilamellatus Giordani Soika, 1941: 175 View in CoL , ♀, ♂ —“ Bekily ” ( type lost).

Distribution. Madagascar: Antananarivo, Fianarantsoa *, Toliara ( Giordani Soika 1941) ( Fig. 66L View FIGURE 66 ).

Notes. A male and a female were examined, collected at the same time in Fianarantsoa, Italaviana, both perfectly matching the description of Odynerus parvilamellatus published by Giordani Soika (1941: 175). However, the male presents a hint of lamella also at the apex of T3, and the presence of a lamella on T3 should be distinctive of O. hyalinelamellatus . The lamella of the male is extremely short and barely visible only for a very short stretch, but given also the presence of a female of O. hyalinelamellatus with reduced lamellae (see under that species) it cannot be excluded that the two taxa actually represent the range of variability of a single species, also given the apparent absence of further morphological differences between the females. For the moment, no taxonomic action is taken in this regard, postponing any possible synonymy until males of both forms or genetic data are available. As done for O. hyalinelamellatus , the designation of a neotype is not undertaken here.
