Description

Sclerogibba rossi Olmi, 2005

(Figs 11, 12)

Sclerogibba rossi Olmi 2005: 165. Holotype: ♀ (Myanmar).

Sclerogibba rossi is easily distinguished from Caenosclerogibba longiceps (Figs 13, 14) by the following characters: the dark coloration; head and metasoma dark brown; the anterior ocellus is present (Fig. 12); the distinctly curved transverse suture separating the metanotum and scutellum from the metapectal- propodeal complex (Fig. 11) (Olmi 2005), whereas the body is entirely testaceous, the anterior ocellus is lacking, and the suture is straight in C. longiceps.

Material examined. [Japan] 1 ♀, Okinawa-jima Isl., Chatan-cho, Mihama, 19.VII.2017, T. Naka leg. (ELKU); 1 ♀, same as above, but 2.VIII, from the nest of Oligotoma saundersii (westwood, 1837) (ELKU).

Distribution. Madagascar; India; Myanmar; Malaysia (Pahan) (Olmi 2005; Azevedo et al. 2010); Japan, new record.
