Mem. Amer. Ent. Inst., 14: 260. Xanthopimpla tricapus impressa Townes & Chiu, 1970 . Mem. Amer. Ent. Inst., 14: 260. Holotype : ♀ , Myanmar : Toungoo , Karenni (ZMHB). Diagnosis . Mesoscutum medially with three separate black spots; area superomedia closed; propodeum without basal transverse carina so that first and second lateral area confluent; ovipositor sheath equal to length of hind tibia. Distribution . Pham & Le (2007) have recently recorded this species from Vietnam on the basis of specimens collected from Pu Mat NP, Nghe An Province (Central Vietnam ). Outside of Vietnam , it is known from India , Myanmar , Thailand , Malaysia , Indonesia , and the Philippines ( Yu et al . 2005 ). Remarks . Two subspecies are currently recognised: X. tricapus tricapus from the Philippines and Xanthopimpla tricapus impressa Townes & Chiu from India , Myanmar , Thailand , Vietnam , Malaysia and Indonesia . The latter subspecies differs from the nominate by the presence of a shallow notaulus, small punctures on the mesoscutum and an entirely yellow tergite 6 and probably warrants separate species status, although we have not examined material from the Philippines to confirm this. Material examined . Nghe An , Pu Mat NP: 1♂ ( ZFMK ), 350 m a.s.l, 26.iv.2006 ; 1♀ ( IEBR ), 400−500 m a.s.l, 16.vii.2006 , H. X.
