Treatment

Eumenes architectus Smith, 1859: 20, “Celebes”, NHMUK (?). Type: female.

Distribution.

China (Hong Kong [?]); India[?]; Myanmar; Malaysia; Singapore; Indonesia; Philippines.

Remarks.

Reported by Dover (1926) from Hong Kong. In the past 92 years, no specimen has been found in Hong Kong or even other areas of China, but it has been recorded from Myanmar so it may still be discovered from China, but its presence in Hong Kong is doubtful. Additionally, the name has been previously used erroneously by some workers ( Yasumatsu 1936; Schulz 1912) and this may have been the case for Dover.
