Type species: Euclimаciа pаrtitа Enderlein, 1910 , by original designation. FIGURE 6. Mimetispa sp., undescribed: a. Head and thorax dorsum; c. head and thorax in lateral view; e. habitus. Euclimacia cottami : b Head and thorax dorsum; d. head and thorax in lateral view; f. habitus. Distribution: Palearctic , Oriental : Widespread. Australasian : northern Australia . Diagnosis (modified from Lambkin (1986b)) ( Fig. 6b, d and f ): Euclimacia can be distinguished from other Oriental and Palearctic genera by the symmetrical, perfoliate flagellomeres ( Fig. 6b and d ), the very short, distinctly shaped pronotum (shorter than the pterothorax), and conspicuous wing pigmentation ( Fig. 6f ). The species are often brightly coloured and metallic; they resemble several wasp species. Notes: Euclimacia is a well-known wasp mimicking genus common throughout the Orient (Beck 2005, Bhattacharjee et al. 2010 and Ohl 2004a , 2011). Euclimacia is a large genus comprising at least 31 described species. No key to the species have been published, however, a revision of the genus is ongoing (teste M. Ohl) (see Appendix). A single undescribed species of Euclimacia has been reared from a spider nest in Malaysia (Ohl 2011).
