Odynerus icarioides Bingham, 1897: 363 (in key to aculeates of British India), 372, ♀, “Tenasserim”, type (BMNH).

Diagnosis.

This species can be distinguished from other species of Apodynerus by the combination of the following characters: head in frontal view subcircular, slightly wider than high, 1.1 × as wide as high; female clypeus in frontal view wider than high, 1.3 × as wide as high, with dorsal and ventral margins distinctly emarginate medially ( Fig. 14 ); male clypeus in frontal view proportionally narrower than that of female, 1.15 × as wide as high ( Fig. 18 ); gena wide ( Fig. 19 ); metanotum obtusely dentiform; metasomal tergum I stout, in lateral view swollen dorsally from base to mid-length, then moderately concave preapically ( Fig. 24 ); metasomal tergum II in lateral view slightly convex dorsally ( Fig. 24 ).

Material examined.

INDONESIA: Kalimantan: 2 ♀, Bukit Soeharto, East Kalimantan, 3, 23 Feb.1998, H. Makihara (FFPRI); 1 ♀, Mentawir River, about 50 m, Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, Oct.1950, A.M.R. Wegner (MZB); 1 ♂, Kayan Mentarang Nature Reserve, Pujungan, East Kalimantan, Apr.1993, D.C. Darling & R. Ubaidillah (MZB).

Remarks.

This species shows a disjunct distribution pattern, occurring in India and Myanmar, and on Borneo. Van der Vecht (1937) examined the type and provided a diagnosis for this species.
