Eotrogaspidia lena (Cameron, 1899), comb. nov.
(Figs 3B, 3F, 6B, 9C)
Mutilla lena Cameron, 1899: 64, ♂, holotype ♂ ( Barrackpore, West Bengal, India) [BMNH].
Trogaspidia lena: Lelej 2005: 96; Pagliano et al. 2020: 285.
Diagnosis. MALE. Clypeus deeply concave, shiny, with sculptured narrow anterior border (Fig. 6B); scape not widened apically; F1 strongly compressed, wider than F2. Pronotum with sparse subappressed and erect fuscous setae; propodeum dorsally with more or less dense pale setae and partly hidden cuticular sculpture (Fig. 3B). Metacoxa ventrally flattened on mesal half with short dense setae. Hypopygium (S8) with longitudinal lateral ridge along entire length of sternum; cuspis lamellate, reaching paramere apex. FEMALE. Unknown.
Material examined. 1♂. India: GOA: 1♂, Goa, Mormugao, Aug. 1925, J.C. Bridwell, Trogaspidia lena (Cameron), B. Petersen det. 1978 [USNM] .
Distribution. India: Goa*, West Bengal (Cameron 1899).
Remarks. The detailed original description of this species (Cameron 1899) closely matches the examined specimen. In the original description, Cameron mentioned that “Scutellum scarecely raised above the level of the mesonotum, strongly punctured, the middle on the basal part smooth and shining, the smooth part slightly depressed in the middle at the base”. Contrarily, the males of Trogaspidia have the mesoscutellum conical and distinctly raised above the level of mesonotum, as described for species of the group ii-a in Cameron (1899) like T. fortinata (Cameron, 1899) and T. selma (Cameron, 1899) . We thus accept the unpublished identification by B. Petersen and propose a new combination here.
