Scolia ( Discolia ) inouyei Okamoto, 1924 re-instated Scolia inouyei Okamoto, 1924: 205 , ♀ , Korea ( type in Agricultural Experimental Station, Suigen, S. Korea ?); Yamane, 1995: 43 . Scolia nobilis f. inouyei : Uchida, 1933: 250 . Scolia nobilis inouyei : Betrem, 1941: 140 ; Osten, 2005: 39 . Distribution. China ( Taiwan , Yunnan); Korea . Notes. We re-instate Scolia (Discolia) inouyei Okamoto, 1924 as a valid species, after examining a specimen from Yunnan . This species is clearly different from S. nobilis ; the legs are reddish, with wings pale as the spots of the tergites, the pronotum dorso-posteriorly (“scapula”) bright yellow laterally, the lateral carina extending over the propodeal spiracle (just reaching to the spiracle in S. nobilis ); the median suture of the frons (“frontal fissure”) absent (distinct in S. nobilis ); the antenna longer, with penultimate joints nearly as long as wide (antenna distinctly shorter, with penultimate joints wider than long in S. nobilis ); and the upper part of the metapleuron with sparse punctures only medially (largely densely punctate in S. nobilis ).
