Scolia ( Discolia ) formosicola Betrem, 1928 re-instated Scolia formosicola Betrem, 1928: 305 , ♀ , China ( holotype in RMNH, Leiden, [examined]); Betrem, 1941: 133 ; Gupta & Jonathan, 2003: 198 . Scolia oculata formosicola : Osten, 2005: 39 . Distribution. China ( Fujian , Zhejiang , Taiwan) ; India , Mayanmar and Thailand . Notes. We re-instate Scolia (Discolia) formosicola Betrem, 1928 , as a valid species; it is distinctly different from the similar S. oculata by the following: the dorso-median area of the propodeum is strongly and densely punctate (only superficially and sparsely punctate in S. oculata ); vertex and frons with dense coarse punctation (largely smooth, without large punctures in S. oculata ); and median groove of frons distinct (median groove of frons indistinct in S. oculata ).
