Abstract
The seasonal distribution of the two eastern U. S. species of embolemi d wasps (Ampulicomorpha confusa and Embolemus nearcticus) in the Ouach ita Mountains and Ozark Plateau of central and northern Arkansas is es timated from Malaise trap collections at 12 sites. In this limited stu dy A. confusa appeared early in the season, whereas E. nearcticus was active during most of the summer season. Discontinuous morphological v ariation among the sampled male individuals of Embolemus was evident, possibly indicating the presence of undiagnosed species.
