( Figs 38A–F View FIGURE 38 )

Dorilas (Eudorylas) vicarius Hardy 1949 a: 60 View in CoL .

Diagnosis: Abdominal tergites entirely silvery pollinose, sides golden-yellow pollinose; edge of S7 visible in dorsal view. Genitalia without dissection: black, with golden-yellow pollinosity. Surstyli broad, OS (in dorsal view) with two projections; SES large, with numerous hairs (up to 18); gonopods asymmetrical, IG more developed; phallic guide with protuberances and numerous hairs, the round projection facing SS bears hairs as well; phallus trifid, one of the branches shorter.

Type material: Malawi: 1♂, HT, Nyasaland., Cholo. , R.C. Wood; Pres by Com Inst Ent, BM 1953-357 ( BMNH) .
