Diagnosis.
Leptopareia borneana
(
Cameron, 1908
)
resembles
L. purpurea
(
Smith, 1860
)
for general habitus, and complete notauli with deep notaular pits. However, it can be easily separated from the latter by pronotum and mesoscutum impunctate (micro-punctate in
L. purpurea
).

Redescription.
Female
. Body length
3.9–5.2 mm
. Fore wing length 3.5–4.0 mm. OOL = 2–2.2 MOD; POL = 2–2.5 MOD; MS = 0.2–0.3 MOD; relative length of P:F1:F2:F3 = 1:1.3:0.8:0.8.
Head.
Head with deep and large punctures on frons and vertex (
Fig. 7B
). In lateral view, longest distance between genal carina and lower margin of eye 1 MOD. Scapal basin usually deep, laterally with long setae, finely transversally wrinkled or striate. Gena with fine and oblique wrinkles and small punctures. Ocellar triangle isosceles; postocellar line deep and continuous. Occipital area beneath ocellar area with tiny punctures.
Mesosoma.
Pronotum almost impunctate (
Fig. 7C
), with sparse tiny punctures; with row of large and deep punctures on anterior margin, and large, deep and dense punctures on lateral margins. Mesoscutum impunctate, with sparse tiny punctures; notaular pits deep, round and large (0.6 MOD in diameter), notauli distinct and complete (
Fig. 7C
). Mesoscutellum without fovea on anterior margin, impunctate antero-medially with or without tiny punctures; rest of mesoscutellum with round, deep and large punctures (0.5 MOD in diameter). Metanotum evenly round, with large (up to 1 MOD), deep and round or irregular punctures equally interspaced (
Fig. 7C
). Mesopleuron with large and dense punctures, without wrinkles or elongated punctures (
Fig. 7A
). Tarsal claw with four teeth.
Metasoma.
T1 impunctate. T2 almost impunctate, with dense tiny punctures close to lateral and posterior margins. T3 almost impunctate, with tiny punctures on lateral margins. T2 and T3 with wide (>1 MOD) semitransparent rim, on T3 medially interrupted by large metallic area (about 2 MOD) (
Fig. 7F
).
Colouration.
Body entirely metallic green to blue (
Fig. 7A
); metasoma sometimes with violet reflections. Scape and pedicel metallic green; flagellum black, without metallic reflection. Tegula brown with green to blue metallic reflections. Legs metallic green, with tarsi brown and without metallic reflection.
Male
. Similar to female, usually with a little smaller body (3.5–4.0 mm) and shorter F1 (1.1× P).
Variation.
There are some differences among
lectotype
of
Hedychrum borneanum
and other examined specimens. F1 of
lectotype
partially metallic green, whereas black without metallic reflection in almost all other specimens; head of
lectotype
with large blackish spot around ocellar area, which is not observed in other specimens; scapal basin of
lectotype
striated, whereas largely smooth in other specimens.

Remarks.
Cameron (1908)
described
Hedychrum borneanum
based on a series of female specimens collected in Borneo at Kuching and housed at the BMNH.
The
lectotype
of
Hedychrum borneanum
Cameron
is here designated on the sole specimen left in the BMNH to fix the current interpretation of the species. The designation is needed because further
syntype
may exist in other collections, as already observed for the
types
of other Cameron species by
Quinlan (1974)
and
Notton
et al
. (2009)
. The inference of
holotype
by
Kimsey and Bohart (1991)
is incorrect, since no
holotype
was designated and the number of specimens in the
type
series is unclear, ICZN recommendation 73F should be applied.
