Additional description. This species is variable in its pronotal color ( Gerstmeier and Bernhard 2010 ). Additional variation is recognized as follows: head and pronotum completely reddish (Fig. 11 ); legs yellowish (Fig. 12 ). Antennomeres V-X vestigial with an area vested with sensilla basiconica at apical margin in ventral view; male XI of dorsal surface with pit-like sensillum. Remarks. Opitz's (2010 , fig. 217) photograph labelled T. javana , used to illustrate a likeness to mutilid wasps, appears to be a misidentified specimen of Tillicera tonkinensis Gerstmeier & Bernhard, 2010 Distribution. Indonesia (Java, Sumatra), Malaysia (Borneo, Sabah). New records: Laos, Thailand, Vietnam.
