Odynerus puer Giordani Soika, 1941 View in CoL nomen dubium

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

Notes. As reported by Dal Pos et al. (2022: 9) the type specimens of several Malagasy Eumeninae described by Giordani Soika are lost, including those of Odynerus puer View in CoL . Following the key and the description ( Giordani Soika 1941: 175) it is impossible to associate the taxon with one of the known species of Malagasy Eumeninae , furthermore the reported characters are compatible with different genera, not even allowing a sure generic attribution. Given the absence of type specimens and the impossibility of ascertaining the identity of this taxon, Odynerus puer View in CoL is considered a nomen dubium.
