[Vol. 93 
head width 1.3 times length; midocellus 2.5 MOD from ocular mar- 
gin; subantennal distance 1 MOD; ocelli arranged in broad triangle; 
hindocellus 1.2 diameters from ocular margin; F-I length 3X 
breadth; F-II length 0.6X breadth; pronotum 0.5X as long as com- 
bined median lengths of scutum, scutellum and metanotum; meso- 
pleuron with large dense punctures, without scrobal sulcus; scutal 
punctures coarse and contiguous, somewhat arranged in rows; 
metanotum 0.8X scutellar length; forewing (fig. 6) densely setose 
with dark bands across wing at medial vein and at apex of RS (fig. 
6), entire wing brown-stained; hindfemur ventral surface coarsely 
punctate; T-I and II polished and impunctate medially with lateral 
zone of fine scratches and punctures; T-III-IV with apical band of 
tiny punctures. Head black; scape light brown; pedicel and F-I whit- 
ish, except apex of F-I blackish; F-II-XI blackish; thorax red, 
except dorsal and posterior face of propodeum black; legs and 
coxae red, except foretarsomeres, hindtibial apex and venter of 
hindfemur dark brown; abdomen shiny black, with faint green tints 
on T-I-II laterally. 
Holotype female: MALAYSIA: Pasoh Forest Res., Negri S., 17 
April 1980, P. and M. Becker (Gainesville). Paratypes: 10 females, 
same data as type, except various dates from 8 July 1978 to 3 
November 1979. 
Discussion. This species appears to be structurally intermediate 
between the other species of Atoposega: lineata Krombein and rieki 
(Krombein). A. simulans has the long pronotum, patterned wings 
and larger size of lineata, and T-I-II laterally “scratched” with 
metallic tints and the forefemur rough and coarsely punctate, as in 
rieki.
