(Bocchinae); Dryinus digo sp. nov., Thaumatodryinus overholti sp. nov., T. tuukkaraski sp. nov. (Dryininae); from Kenya and Uganda: Anteon semajanna sp. nov. (Anteoninae). The following species have been found for the fi rst time in Kenya: Embolemidae: Ampulicomorpha madecassa Olmi, 1999b, Embolemus ambrensis Olmi, 2004; Dryinidae: Conganteon vulcanicum Benoit, 1951b, Anteon afrum Olmi, 1984, A. canabense (Benoit, 1951a), A. cautum Olmi, 1994b, A. emeritum Olmi, 1984, A. evertsi Olmi, 1989, A. jacksoni Olmi, 2011, A. kivuanum (Benoit, 1951b), A. kwazuluense Olmi, 2007, A. maritimum (Turner, 1928), A. sanyatense Olmi, 2009, A. ugandanum Olmi, 1984, A. xericum Olmi & Harten, 2006, Deinodryinus paulyi Olmi, 1987, Bocchus bini Olmi, 1984, B. botswanensis Olmi, 1991, B. brooksi Olmi, 2003, B. confusus Olmi & Harten, 2006, B. hyalinus Olmi, 1998, B. mada gascolus Olmi, 1994b, B. whiteleyi Olmi, 2007, Dryinus cariniceps Cameron, 1906, D. erraticus (Turner, 1928), Echthrodelphax migratorius Benoit, 1954, E. tauricus Ponomarenko, 1970.
