R e m a r k: In coll. Heinrich (ZSM), the specimen found in
Myanmar
was labeled as
Aulojoppa
birmanica
by him but not published so far. However,
Aulojoppa spilocephala
CAMERON, 1907
seems to be a widespread species in Southern and Southeastern Asia that developed many colour variants or subspecies in its wide area of distribution (see also
HEINRICH, 1934: 128-129
). I therefore prefer to describe this taxon as a subspecies of
A. spilocephala
here.
Colour:
♀
: Black. Basal flagellomeres red-brown, flagellomeres 7-15/16 with ivory stripes, apical flagellomeres blackish. Head black; ivory are large triangular spots on vertices, large halfmoon-shaped spots on facial orbits, stripes on outer orbits, clypeus and mandibles except teeth. Mesosoma black; ivory are frontal margins and upper margins of pronotum caudally, tegulae, subtegular ridges, ventro-caudal spots on mesopleura, scutellum and postscutellum, carinal triangles and large spots around dentiparal edges (sometimes covering apical half of propodeum except black area petiolaris). Metasoma black; 1
st
tergite red; postpetiolus with ivory apical band; 2
nd
, 3
rd
, 6
th
and 7
th
tergites with apical ivory bands, wider on 2
nd
and 6
th
tergites, narrow on 3
rd
tergite (but more or less widened laterally), sometimes 4
th
tergite with narrow apical ivory band, 7
th
tergite almost completely ivory. Legs reddish; fore and middle coxae and trochanters more or less ivory; hind femora blackish in apical 0.2; hind tibiae brown, with wide subbasal ivory band; hind tarsi ivory, apical tarsomeres brownish. Wings hyaline, pterostigmas ochreous.
Coloration of 33 differ by ivory stripes on flagellomeres 9/10-19/21, dark brownish pterostigmas and fronto-medial blackish spots on scutellum.
