Abstract

The tribe Campsomerini (Hymenoptera: Scoliidae) from northern Vietnam was studied, resulting in the finding of three species and
six subspecies belonging to five genera. Three genera (Vegacampsomeris Betrem, 1928 (with M/Z. shillongensis (Betrem, 1928)),
Micromerialla Betrem, 1964 (with M. marginella marginella (Klug, 1810)) and Phalerimeris Betrem, 1967 (with P. phalerata
Dhalerata (de Saussure, 1858))) and three species (Sericocampsomeris flavomaculata Gupta & Jonathan, 1989, Campsomeriella
(Annulimeris) annulata (Fabricius, 1793) and C. (Campsomeriella) collaris (Fabricius, 1775)) are recorded for the first time from
Vietnam. One new species, Sericocampsomeris vietnamica Pham & van Achterberg, sp. nov. is described and illustrated. Identification
keys to the genera, species and subspecies of the tribe Campsomerini from northern Vietnam and to the species of Sericocampsomeris

Betrem, 1941 are presented. Lastly, we provide a checklist with 13 species and subspecies of Scoliidae from Vietnam.

Introduction

The family Scoliidae Latreille, 1802, is a group of solitary
aculeate wasps belonging to the superfamily Vespoidea
and is distributed worldwide. They are commonly known
as digger wasps, hairy wasps or scarab-hunter wasps and
are parasitoids of scarab larvae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae).
There are about 560 species in 43 genera belonging to two
subfamilies: Proscoliinae and Scolitnae. Proscoliinae, rep-
resented by a single genus, Proscolia Rasnitsyn, 1977 with
two known species, is recorded from the South Palearc-
tic Region, being known only from Armenia and Greece.

The Scoliinae, consisting of about 558 species distributed
amongst 42 genera in two tribes, Campsomerini Betrem,
1965 and Scoliini Latreille, 1802 1s recorded throughout the
world, predominantly in tropical and subtropical regions
(Day et al. 1981; Osten 2005; Girish Kumar and Pham Ph
2015; Liu et al. 2021a; Taylor and Barthélémy 2021).
Members of the Scoliidae are readily distinguished
from other families of Hymenoptera by two primary char-
acters: 1 - The wing membrane beyond the closed cells is
closely striolate; and 2 - The mesosternum and metaster-
num form a flat plate overlying the bases of the mid- and
hind coxae (Krombein 1978; Gupta and Jonathan 2003).

370 Phong Huy Pham & Cornelis van Achterberg: Tribe Campsomerini from northern Vietnam

Males and females usually show a high degree of sexu-
al dimorphism, differing in the number of antennal seg-
ments, often in wing venation, body-form and colour.
While females are relatively easy to distinguish to genus
and species, males are, in general, difficult to identify as
they are very similar in external morphological characters
(Gupta and Jonathan 2003; Liu et al. 2021b).

From North to South, Vietnam has a 3444 km long
coastline and a 4639 km long land boundary. Known as a
country of mega-biodiversity, it consists of subtropical and
warm-temperate climate in the north and a tropical climate
in the south. Northern Vietnam, especially, 1s within the In-
do-Burma biodiversity hotspot and has, climatically, more
or less warm-temperate characteristics and is expected to
be a primary biodiversity centre (Pham Ph and Girish Ku-
mar 2015). Unfortunately, diversity and taxonomic studies
conducted in the country are few and fragmentary. This is
most probably due to protracted wars in the past and the
lack of Vietnamese entomologists. This lack of informa-
tion includes the Scoliidae. The Vietnamese scoliid wasps
were previously treated by Betrem (1928) in his mono-
graph of the Indo-Australian Scoliidae with zoogeograph-
ical considerations, based mainly on specimens deposited
in the Natural History Museum at Paris. Betrem (1941),
Bradley and Betrem (1967), Gupta and Jonathan (2003),
Liu et al. (2021a), Taylor and Barthélémy (2021) and Chen
et al. (2022) listed scoliid species from Vietnam, but likely
the references in the last five papers are based on Betrem
(1928, 1941) only. Khuat et al. (2013) recorded an unde-
termined scoliid species from Ha Noi as Campsomeris sp.

Here, we study the taxonomy of the tribe Campsomerini
(Hymenoptera, Scoliidae) from northern Vietnam, describe
and illustrate a new species and provide a key to the genera,
species and subspecies of the tribe from northern Vietnam
and an identification key to all Sericocampsomeris species.
The goal of this paper is to provide new species and genera

records for Vietnam and to considerably enhance the current
knowledge on the scoliid wasp fauna of Vietnam; we also
present a checklist of Scoliidae from the country.

Materials and methods

Specimens were collected using sweep nets and Malaise
traps at localities in the following provinces in northern
Vietnam: Ha Noi, Hai Phong, Hoa Binh, Lang Son, Lao
Cai, Nam Dinh, Quang Ninh, Thanh Hoa, Thai Binh and
Vinh Phuc. Adult morphological characters were ob-
served and described from pinned and dried specimens
with the aid of a stereoscopic microscope. Betrem (1928,
1941), Gupta and Jonathan (2003) and Liu et al. (2021b)
were used to accomplish identifications to all taxon levels.

Our identification key to species of the genus Serico-
campsomeris Betrem, 1941 was constructed, based on Viet-
namese specimens and the original descriptions of S. de-
gaullei, S. stygia and S. punctata by Betrem (1928), Gupta
and Jonathan (2003) and Chen et al. (2022), respectively.

A checklist of Scoliidae from Vietnam was constructed
using publications of Betrem (1928, 1941), Bradley and
Betrem (1967), Gupta and Jonathan (2003), Osten (2005),
Danilov and Dubatolov (2021), Liu et al. (2021a), Taylor
and Barthélémy (2021) and Chen et al. (2022).

Photographic images were taken using a Nikon
SMZ800N microscope camera and a Canon SD3500
IS camera.

Specimens examined, including the holotype and the
paratype of the new species are deposited in the Institute
of Ecology and Biological Resources (IEBR), Vietnam
Academy of Science and Technology, Ha Noi, Vietnam.

Abbreviations used in the text are as follows: Metaso-
mal tergum = T(x), x being the tergum number, Metaso-

of small yellow spots on S2 and S3 posterolaterally, some-
times on S4; erect vestiture white, except black on two
last metasomal segments; wings lightly infumated; base
of volsella covered with dense and long setae (Fig. 2F).

Distribution. Vietnam: Ha Noi, Lang Son, Thanh
Hoa, Thai Binh (Fig. 8C). Elsewhere: China, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand (Betrem 1928, 1941; Gup-
ta and Jonathan 2003).

Campsomeriella collaris (Fabricius) 1s a polytypic
taxon that is widely distributed primarily in the Oriental
region. The species consists of three subspecies, C. col-
laris collaris (Fabricius), C. collaris quadrifasciata (Fa-
bricius) and C. collaris insularis Gupta & Jonathan, 2003
(Osten 2005). These subspecies are distinguished, in fe-
males, by differences in the colour of the erect setae on
the head and mesosoma and reflections on wings and in
males, by the difference in yellow spots.

In northern Vietnam, C. collaris collaris (Fabricius) and
C. collaris quadrifasciata (Fabricius) are the most common
and recognised scoliid species because of the entirely black
body in females, the dark brown wings and erect white or
red-brown setae on the occiput, scapula and anterior part
of the mesoscutum; and the very large yellow bands on
T1—T3 in males of C. collaris collaris (Fabricius).

Campsomeriella collaris collaris was originally de-
scribed from India by Fabricius (1775) as Tiphia collaris.
Krombein (1979) stated that the subspecies occurs only in
Sri Lanka and southern India. Gupta and Jonathan (2003)
showed the subspecies being common and widely dis-
tributed in the Indian subregion and recorded it occurring
in Nepal and Bangladesh. Betrem (1928) recorded only
C. collaris quadrifasciata from northern and central Viet-
nam. Liu et al. (2021a, 2021b) recorded C. (C.) collaris
from China without recognition of subspecies. Judging
from the key characters and images, these specimens
should be classified as C. (C.) collaris quadrifasciata.
Taylor and Barthélémy (2021) recorded it from Hong
Kong. In this present study, the first author found that
populations collected at the same locality, for example,
Thai Binh and Thanh Hoa, would key to both C. collaris
collaris and C. collaris quadrifasciata. We hypothesise

dez.pensoft.net

that C. collaris populations are variable in colour in In-
dia, Nepal, Bangladesh to Vietnam and China and that
recognition of both subspecies is probably not warranted
as indicated in Liu et al. (2021a, 2021b). Future research
is needed to better understand the colour variation of this
species in a larger geographical context.

Some small female specimens (14-15 mm_ body
length) have dense greyish setae on the occiput, scapula
and anterior part of the mesoscutum, suggesting that vari-
ation in the colour of setae on the body is at least partly
related to overall size.

Khuat et al. (2013) recorded a scoliid as Campsom-
eris sp. from Ha Noi. The specimens (two females and
two males collected at Bai Giua Song Hong, Long Bien
district in 2012) would key to C. collaris quadrifasciata.

Micromeriella marginella is widely distributed in
the Oriental region. The species ranges from Sri Lan-
ka through India to Southeast Asia and also in China
and Taiwan. There have been seven subspecies record-
ed for M. marginella, namely M. marginella marginel-
la (Klug), M. m. bariensis (Tsuneki, 1972), M. m. bil-
litonensis (Tullgren, 1904), VM. m. formosana (Betrem,
1928), M. m. modesta (F. Smith, 1855), MM. m. terinata
(F. Smith, 1858) and M. m. thainana (Tsuneki, 1972).
Osten (2005) did not recognise M. m. bariensis, M. m.
billitonensis and M. m. thainana. The seven subspecies
are distinguished by the difference in yellow marks on
the body in males and by alteration of apical yellow
bands on the metasomal terga in females. These char-
acters are likely insufficient to retain the subspecies as
valid taxa.

Three subspecies have been recorded P. phalerata phalerata
(de Saussure), P. p. turneri (Betrem, 1928) and P. p. bank-
anensis (Betrem, 1928). Osten (2005) did not recognise
the last subspecies. In females, these three subspecies are
distinguished, based on apical fringes on the metasomal ter-
ga and the yellow bands on T1 and T2. In P. p. phalerata,
the apical fringes on T1—T4 are reddish-golden, the apical
fringe on T5 and setae on T6 are black and the yellow bands
on T1 and T2 are narrow and continuous in the middle area.
In P. p. turneri, the apical fringes on T1—T5 and setae on
T6 are reddish-golden and the yellow bands on T1 and T2
are moderately broad and continuous in the middle area. In
P. p. bankanensis, the apical fringes on T1—TS and setae on
T6 are reddish-golden and the yellow bands on T1 and T2
are rather narrow and interrupted in the middle. The males
of all three subspecies are very similar (de Saussure 1858;
Betrem 1928: Gupta and Jonathan 2003).

In some female specimens of P. phalerata phalerata
from North Vietnam, the apical yellow bands on T1 and
T2 are narrow, about one-third the length of Tl and
one-fifth that of T2 and continuous in the middle area.
The apical yellow band on T3 is also narrow, but inter-
rupted in the middle. The apical fringe on T5 includes
both median black and lateral yellow setae and setae
on T6 are entirely black. Therefore, the population of
this species in northern Vietnam shows variation sug-
gesting that P. p. turneri should be synonymised with
P. p. phalerata.

sparsely punctate laterally and anteriorly; anterior margin
of clypeus dark yellow; scapulae, scutellum and metano-
tum entirely black; T4 without yellow band apically; api-
cal yellow bands on S2 and S3 narrow, broadly interrupted
medially; head and mesosoma with yellowish setae; wings
yellowish; metasoma with conspicuous blue reflections.

and distinctly punctate, with small tubercle between an-
tennal sockets (Fig. 7A); frontal fissura weakly impressed,
extending to anterior ocellus; front with a few scattered
punctures; vertex with weak groove near hind ocelli elon-
gated to inner eye margin; scape, vertex and gena with
dense punctures; anterior ocellus distinctly larger than
posterior ocelli and set in a broad and shallow pit.

Mesosoma. Scapula, mesoscutum, metanotum and
dorsal propodeum with dense, coarse, deep punctures,
interspaces much smaller than puncture diameter; scute-

The genus Sericocampsomeris Betrem was de-
scribed as a subgenus of Campsomeris and raised to
generic level by Betrem and Bradley (1972). Betrem
(1941) recorded 10 species for the genus (as Campsom-
eris (Sericocampsomeris)). Gupta and Jonathan (1989)
recorded eight species and described one new species,
S. flavomaculata Gupta and Jonathan. Osten (2005)
listed S. degaullei Betrem, 1928 (with two subspecies,
S. degaullei degaullei Betrem, 1928 and S. d. rubropi-
losa Betrem, 1941); S. rubromaculata (F. Smith, 1855)
(with five subspecies, S. rubromaculata rubromaculata
(F. Smith, 1855); S. r beharensis (Betrem, 1928); S. 7
bomeana (Cameron, 1902); S. r. hainanensis (Betrem,
1928); and S. r pseudoindica (Betrem, 1928)) and S.
stygia (Illiger, 1802) and omitted S. flavomaculata
Gupta and Jonathan (also see Taylor and Barthélémy
(2021)). Gupta and Jonathan (2003), after reexamining
Megacampsomeris bella that was originally described
by Bingham (1897) as Elis (Dielis) bella, moved it to
Sericocampsomeris. Osten (2005) retained it in Mega-
campsomeris. Schulten et al. (2011) raised the subgenus
Bellimeris of Megacampsomeris to the generic level
and included M. bella. Kim (2020) produced character-
istics of the genus Bellimeris, which consists of only B.
bella and B. stoetzneri after studying and describing the
male of the latter. Liu et al. (2021b) listed B. bella as
Megacampsomeris bella. Recently, Chen et al. (2022)
reviewed the genus Sericocampsomeris from China,
recognised three species and described a new species.
Altogether, including the new species described in this
study, six species have been retained in Sericocamp-
someris. The genus is mainly distributed in the Oriental
region and ranges from Sri Lanka, India and Nepal to
Southeast Asia and southern China. Four Vietnamese
species have been recorded, three, S. vietnamica Pham
& van Achterberg, sp. nov., S. favomaculata and S. ru-
bromaculata in the present study and one, S. degaullei
in Betrem (1928).
