.
Diagnosis.
This species comes near
Antrocephalus niger
(Masi) in the key to Oriental species of
Antrocephalus
by
Narendran (1989)
, but differs from that species in having the fore wing with two dark brown or black infuscations whereas in
Antrocephalus niger
the fore wing has only one dark infuscation. This species also resembles
Antrocephalus cariniceps
(Cameron) in general appearance, but
Antrocephalus cariniceps
has a distinct long pair of basal carinae at the base of T1, whereas in
Antrocephalus maculipennis
such carinae are absent.
Description.
♀, length of body 5.6-6.6 mm. Black; fore wing with two brown patches: one starting from MV extending to middle or beyond posteriorly; second one extending from latter patch to posterior part of the wing. Body with silvery pubescence. Head wider than mesosoma (excluding tegulae); pre-orbital carina distinct, not joining auricular carina; post-orbital carina slightly indicated, malar groove carinate. Scape reaching anterior ocellus, apex of scutellum well emarginated; anterior pronotal carinae and median tubercles distinct; pits on mesosoma close and interstices narrower than half diameter of a pit and micro-sculptured; propodeum with postspiracular teeth present; metasoma acuminate towards apex.
