186 Z. BOUCEK 



bright red. I have not seen great deviations from the colour described by Weld 

 (1922 : 35). Also the male is very similar but its gaster has two yellow bands 

 marking the apical margins of fourth and fifth tergite (posterior band narrowed to 

 interrupted medially); scape almost black. Compared with some males of 

 L. guzeratensis Westwood of about the same extent of pale markings, it shows apart 

 from the much less conspicuous pubescence and different wings (with apical macula), 

 the pronotal band shifted more forwards (Text-fig. 206) and the spot basally on 

 hind femur confined to the ventral side. Otherwise it has similarly medially 

 depressed sternites, but these are narrower, the fifth and sixth about twice as long 

 as broad each; last sternite not distinctly expanded subapically. 



Biology. Unknown. 



Distribution. West Malaysia, Singapore, Sumatra, Borneo. 



Material examined. 



Type data given in synonymy. 



West Malaysia: Johore, G. Lambak, 300 m, 27.xi.1970, i$(C. G. Roche) (BMNH).

Leucospis procera Schletterer, 1890 : 228-229, pi- 5. fig- 2 . $• Holotype 9. Java (MNHU, 



Berlin) [examined].

The two holotypes of L. procera and L. littoralis proved to be conspecific. Until 

 now the male was unknown. 



(J. 5-5 mm. Yellow colour reduced to: scape, tiny spots at side end of discal carina on 

 pronotum, postero-lateral margin of scutellum, dorsal band in middle of gaster, dorso-lateral 

 band in three-quarters of gaster nearly interrupted medially, spot on hind coxa dorso-basally 

 and on legs similarly to $ except that they are mainly red instead of black (disc of hind femur 

 black). 



Sculpture and pubescence as in £, face with yellowish, dense but short pubescence. Gaster 

 (Text-fig. 197) elongate-pyriform, very densely and rather regularly, moderately coarsely 

 punctured. First tergite about as long as broad, slightly narrowed basad, dorsally weakly 

 convex, hind margin subemarginate, narrowly impunctate. Second and third tergites subequal 

 in length, short, third only vaguely delimited dorsally, both together less than half as long as 

 broad, but their epipleura distinct, high, dorsally delimited by distinct carina. Fourth and 

 fifth tergites indicated only by yellow bands. Sternites narrow, the first with high ventral 

 tooth, hind margins of following sternites raised, surface concave, fifth and sixth distinctly 

 elongate, seventh (last) subquadrate, posteriorly rounded, its surface medially broadly depressed. 



Biology. Host unknown. 



Distribution. Indonesia (Sumatra, Sumbawa), North Borneo.
