Carinoscolia yunnanensis ( Betrem, 1941 ) Scolia (Carinoscolia) junnanensis Betrem, 1928: 188 (nomen nudum), ♀ , China ( type in Vienna Museum). Scolia (Carinoscolia) yunnanensis Betrem, 1941: 116 . Scolia (Carinoscolia) yunnanensis tibetensis Betrem, 1941: 116 . ( ♀ , type in Cornell University, Ithaca). Distribution. China ( Fujian , Xizang , Yunnan ); Japan and Vietnam . Notes. Scolia (Carinoscolia) yunnanensis tibetensis Betrem was reported as a subspecies of C . yunnanensis Betrem, 1941 . Betrem (1941) mentioned some differences between them: only T3 with yellowish brown spots, metasoma with blue reflections, wings brownish, but not dark, with golden reflections and carina on frons indistinct, S2 with a distinct tubercle in C. tibetensis . We did not have the chance to examine the specimen from Tibet , but we found a female of C. yunnanensis (det. Betrem, 1967 ) in RMNH from Fujian , which has the characters of C. tibetensis displayed above, to be conspecific with specimens of nominate C. yunnanensis ; both shared some characters of C. tibetensis and, therefore, we synonymize both subspecies.
