Abstract:
In this study a new genus of Sesiini, Pseudodelta gen. nov., and its type species Pseudodelta melassp. nov., are described from the Ziika (Zika) Forest, Uganda. This highly mimetic species bears a striking resemblance to Delta emarginatum (Linnaeus, 1758), the black mud wasp widespread in Africa, which is probably its model.
