still longer. In the two specimens available the black colour is more widespread, 

 the orange-yellow, which forms uninterrupted bands or maculae on scutellum and 

 gaster in miniata, here in incamata are broadly separated into sublateral maculae 

 (except narrow separation on the first tergite), elongate in form on scutellum and 

 the sixth tergite; missing on epipygium. Size of female 9-5 mm, male 12 mm.

The FUELLEBORNIANA-Grovp 



The two species belonging here could be attributed, eventually, as a subgroup to 

 the Indo-Australian petiolata-gr oup. From the latter they differ mainly in having 

 a very conspicuous cross-carina on the mesoscutum (Text-fig. 160) which, except 

 laterally, separates the finer anterior puncturation from the much coarser and 

 often transversely rugose puncturation of the subdepressed posterior two-thirds of 

 the sclerite. The premarginal carina on pronotum is distinct, sharp, also hind 

 margin of pronotum usually carinate. In the other characters they agree with 

 the petiolata-gvonp (p. 172). 



L. fuelleborniana Enderlein and L. reversa sp. n. belonging here have blackish 

 wings and seem to be confined to forest habitats. 



Leucospis fuelleborniana Enderlein 

 (Text-fig. 160) 



Leucospis fiilleborniana Enderlein, 1902 : 17-18, fig. 4, §. LECTOTYPE 9 (here designated), 

 Tanzania: Langenburg at northern end of the Nyasa Lake (MNHU, Berlin) [examined]. 



All three original syntypes examined and the best specimen selected as lectotype. 



As may be seen already from the key this species looks very distinctive at first 

 glance, more due to its colour than the shape. The latter is not much different 

 from the Oriental L. petiolata Fabricius or the African L. carinifera Kriechbaumer 

 and its gaster cannot be termed as 'slender petiolate' as Weld did (1922 : 3); she 

 probably mistook a Micrapion for L. fuelleborniana. 



Also the male (hitherto undescribed) is in shape very similar to L. petiolata 

 and has the same colour pattern as the female. Hind femur usually slightly more 

 thickened (as in Text -fig. 161). For shape of gaster see Text-fig. 160. Length of 

 body 9-5-12-5 mm (female 10-0-14-5 mm).
