Notes.
Very similar to
Cremnops collaris
Ashmead 1904
, the type of which is from the Philippines, and
Cremnops indicus
Bhat 1979
, from India. The three nominal species may represent one variable widespread species. The only obvious differences are minor variation in body color and wing color pattern.
Distribution.
Examined specimens are from Java and Peninsular Malaysia. Literature records are only from Java. Although the species has not been recorded in Thailand it is included here due to the likelihood that its range extends into southern Thailand. Distribution map of Peninsular Malaysia specimens can be found at http://purl.org/thaimaps/fuscipennis.
Examined specimens are in the following collections: BMNH, HIC, and UKM.
