Type material.

Holotype, ♀ (RMNH), "[Indonesia:] S. Sumatra, Res. Lampongs, Mt. Tanggamoes, 22. vii– 5.viii.1935, M.E. Walsh", " Parasapyga moelleri Turn. subsp. walshae v. d. Vecht, ♀", "Holotype of subsp. n. walshae".

Diagnosis.

Clypeus with wide anchor-shaped black patch medially and ivory latero-dorsally (Fig. 30); ivory patch at incision of eye remains far from level of anterior ocellus (Fig. 30); pair of ivory spots besides posterior ocellus absent (Fig. 31); ivory transverse stripe on pronotum widely interrupted medio-dorsally (Fig. 26) and narrow ventrally (Fig. 27); propodeum with irregular ivory patch latero-dorsally (Fig. 27); first discal cell of fore wing subhyaline and first subdiscal laterally as pale as medially (Figs 23, 25); metasoma rather wide in dorsal view (Fig. 23); ovipositor densely serrate dorsally.

Description.

Holotype, ♀, length of body 18.7 mm (of fore wing 11.9 mm).

Head. Antenna with 12 segments and penultimate segment 1.2 times as wide as apical segment in dorsal view (Fig. 28); frons moderately reticulate; vertex coarsely reticulate-punctate (Fig. 31); temple coarsely punctate; malar space densely punctulate; head directly narrowed behind eyes (Fig. 31); clypeus coarsely punctate and with complete median crest (Fig. 30).

Mesosoma. Length of mesosoma 1.5 times its height (Fig. 24); mesopleuron largely coarsely reticulate; metapleuron densely punctulate anteriorly and coarsely obliquely costate posteriorly, with a narrow smooth shiny band above it (Fig. 27); pronotum, mesoscutum, scutellum and metanotum coarsely punctate-reticulate, interspaces between punctures of pronotum and metanotum medio-dorsally mostly absent (Fig. 26); metanotum medially slightly convex and not protruding above level of scutellum (Fig. 24); entire propodeum densely and rather coarsely reticulate-rugose (Fig. 26).

Wings. Fore wing: vein 2m-cu just postfurcal (Fig. 25).

Legs. Hind basitarsus rather robust (Fig. 29).

Metasoma. Metasoma comparatively wide in dorsal view (Fig. 23); basal tergites finely punctate and shiny, with smooth interspaces wider than diameter of punctures (Fig. 23); hypopygium 1.4 times longer than fifth sternite ventrally (Fig. 24); ovipositor densely serrate dorsally.

Colour. Black; ivory: pair of L-shaped lateral patches on clypeus, patch at inner orbita up to top of incision of eye (Fig. 30), shelf of frons anteriorly between antennal sockets, temple except dorsally (Fig. 32), transverse stripe on pronotum (except wide interruption medially; Fig. 26, and narrowed ventrally), small patch on pronotum postero-dorsally, elongate patch on mesopleuron antero-dorsally, patch on border of propodeum and metapleuron, small patch near tegula, axilla, lateral patch on metanotum, elongate apical patch on fore and middle femora and elongate basal patch of fore tibia; metasoma orange red; palpi brown; middle and hind tarsi yellowish-brown; remainder of femora and tibiae, veins and pterostigma, dark brown; fore coxa densely golden setose; first submarginal cell apically, marginal cell and second and third submarginal cells of fore wing dark brown, area below it brown and remainder largely subhyaline (Fig. 25).

Male. Unknown.

Distribution.
