Listrodromus propodealis nov. ssp. sabahensis

H o l o t y p u s (): Malaysia - SW Sabah, nr Long Pa Sa (West), c. 1010 m, 1-14.iv.1987, Mal. traps 1, RMNH´87, C. Van Achterberg (Leiden).

D e s c r i p t i o n:

Body length 8.5 mm. Structure and coloration almost similar to Listrodromus propodealis nov. spec. The specimen from Sabah differs in few details only: Beside its larger size the coloration is yellowish and not ivory, the dark color of head and metasoma is dark brown and not blackish, clypeus and tergite 6 have no yellowish or ivory coloration, and the propodeum is blackish with a diffuse dark reddish-brown tint.

Although I propose this taxon as a subspecies of Listrodromus propodealis , it might be a different, but closely related species. For a detailed analysis more material, especially of males, has to be studied in the future.
