Abstract

Three South African species of digger wasps of the tribe Oxybelini, initially described in the genus Belomicrus A. Costa, B. (Nototis) bicornutus Arnold, B. (Nototis) crassus Arnold, and B. ferrieri Kohl, are considered to be members of the separate genera Nototis Arnold, 1927, Belarnoldus gen. n., and Belokohlus gen. n., respectively. The new species Nototis falcidens and the previously unknown male of N. bicornutus and female of B. crassus are described. The lectotype of B. ferrieri is designated.
