Material.
(6 ♀; IZCAS): 1 ♀, "[China:] Yunnan, Xishuangbanna,
Meng'a
, 1050-1080 m, 11.V.1958, Shuyong Wang, No. IOZ(E)1964633"; 1 ♀, "Yunnan, Xiaomengyang, 810 m, 31.III.1957, Shuyong Wang, No. IOZ(E)1964540"; 1 ♀, "Yunnan, Xishuangbanna, Mengla, 620-650 m, 15.XI.1958, Fuji Pu, No. IOZ(E)1964636"; 1 ♀, "Yunnan, Xishuangbanna, Menghai, 1200-1600 m, 16.VIII.1957, Lingchao Zang, No. IOZ(E)1964634"; 1 ♀, "Yunnan, Simao, Mt. Puwenlong, 950-1300 m, 11.V.1957, Dahua Liu, No. IOZ(E)1964544"; 1 ♀, "Yunnan, Xishuangbanna, Gannanba, 650 m, 20.III.1957, Shuyong Wang, No. IOZ(E)1964545".
Diagnosis.
Body and hind leg brownish yellow; pterostigma yellow, at most apically infuscate (Fig. 15); fore wing with a distinct but small stigmal spot near parastigma, not intruding into first discal cell of fore wing (Fig. 15) or slightly so; first tergite smooth except for its median carina (Fig. 19); anterior half of second metasomal tergite longitudinally striate (except for smooth basal areas; Fig. 19) and remainder of tergite smooth; third tergite smooth basally and its transverse subposterior groove smooth (Fig. 19); length of ovipositor sheath 0.8-1.0 times both length of body and of fore wing.
Craspedolcus
fraternus
and
Craspedolcus politus
are the only species of
Craspedolcus
s. str. having the transverse subposterior groove and basal half of the third tergite smooth, the first tergite smooth, shiny and its median carina low, second tergite smooth posteriorly, and ovipositor sheath with yellowish setae.
Craspedolcus fraternus
has a smaller stigmal spot than
Craspedolcus politus
(Fig. 15versus Fig. 29) and the anterior half of the second tergite more extensively striate (Fig. 19versus Fig. 33).
Variation. Length of body of female 9.5-14.4 mm, of fore wing of female 11.0-15.2 mm, and of ovipositor sheath 9.6-15.0 mm; antenna of female with 68 (1), 69 (2), 71 (1) segments; vein 3-SR of fore wing 2.4-2.9 times vein 2-SR; length of first tergite 1.2-1.3 times its apical width; length of ovipositor sheath 0.82-0.99 times fore wing; mesosoma and metasoma ventrally yellowish brown or infuscated; fore wing with irregular stigmal spot up to vein 1-SR+M or apical 0.2 of first submarginal cell; ventrally apex of scapus more or less yellowish; vein cu-a of fore wing interstitial or narrowly postfurcal; extent of apical infuscation of hind wing as figured (Fig. 16) or somewhat less; face colour similar to that of mesoscutum or distinctly paler; vein 1-SR+M of fore wing yellow or partly brown; fore tarsus 1.3-1.4 times as long as fore tibia; long ventral setae of scapus appressed or erect.
Distribution.
Indonesia (Sumatra), *China (Yunnan).
