8. a. Sceliphron javanum javanum ( Lepeletier, 1845) View in CoL

Pelopaeus javanus Lepeletier 1845: 309 , ♀ (as Javanus, incorrect original capitalization). Holotype: ♀, Indonesia: Java: no specific locality (originally Audinet-Serville coll., now M. Spinola collection (MRSN)).

Diagnosis. Female. Mesoscutum more or less distinctly striate, but striae not sharply defined; scutellum longitudinally striate; propodeum transversely striate with shallow depression medially; second submarginal cell anteriorly narrower than third; petiole equal to length of hind tibia; hind tibia black; hind femur yellow with usually ill defined fuscous mark at apex above; fore and mid femora black, brownish at apex; fore and mid tibiae orange yellow to pale brown.

Male. Similar to female except for petiole little longer ( Bingham, 1897).

Note. No specimens were seen during the present study, so the above diagnosis has been based on the published descriptions ( Bingham 1897; van der Vecht & van Breugel 1968).

Distribution. India: Arunachal Pradesh, Kerala, Sikkim, West Bengal. Elsewhere: Cambodia; China; Indonesia; Japan; Laos; Malaysia; Myanmar; Nepal; Sri Lanka; Thailand; Vietnam ( Barthélémy 2014; Dollfuss 2016; Kundu et al. 2006; Pulawski 2021).
