Abstract

Information on Sphecidae and Crabronidae is summarized for Cuba and an updated checklist is presented, including distributional data. The following new records are presented: CUBA, Nitela sp. and five undescribed species of Trypoxylon; BAHAMAS (Eleuthera Island), Oxybelus analis; HISPANIOLA, Podium fulvipes, O. analis and Trypoxylon orientinum; JAMAICA, T. orientinum; MONA ISLAND, T. orientinum and Bembix americana antilleana; NAVASSA ISLAND, Trypoxylon n. sp. and Tachysphex dominicanus. Tachytes antillarum Cameron, 1906 is newly synonymized with. T. tricinctus (Fabricius, 1804). The native fauna of apoid wasps of Cuba is composed of 89 species and contains three elements: species endemic to Cuba (44.2%); species endemic to the West Indies and shared among various islands (30.6 %); and continental species whose distribution includes the West Indies (25.9 %).
