of primary importance. Therefore, I regard also these 16 males as variation of S. nepalensis sp. n. in spite of the above enumerated morphological differences. Certainly, these apparently essential morphological differences (length of spine, punctures) cannot be regarded so great as to separate a species described on the basis of a single male specimen. Besides it would be necessary to make a revision of these species and to examine also the genitalia in the future. With regard to this here is a result connected with the separation of S. nepalensis sp.n. and the morphologically rather similar S. erdoesi Móczár. The nepalensis male differs from the erdoesi principally by the genitalia (fig. 5) and by sternite 9 (fig. 6), by the lateral spine not being half as long as the length of propodeum, by the half breadth of propodeum not being as long as its length medially, by the frontal sulcus not developed over the whole length, etc . The nepalensis sp. n. female is related to persicus Móczár, 1970 (described from Iran), but differs from it by the lateral spine being conspicuously longer and not being shorter than onequarter of the propodeum medially, by the propodeum and abdomen not being dark reddish brown, etc. It differs from S. menkei Móczár, 1984a (described from Sri Lanka) by tergite 2 not being densely and distinctly punctured medially and by not so densely punctured laterally, by sternite 2 not having very deep punctures, by the head and propodeum not being entirely yellowish red, by having different propodeal spine and sculpture, etc. It differs from S. petersi Móczár, 1984a (published from Sri Lanka) by the propodeal spine and sculpture, by the pronotum, mesonotum not being black, etc. It differs from S. indicus Móczár, 1977 (distributed in South India and Sri Lanka) by tergites 2-3 medially not being so densely punctured, by having deeper mesonotal sulcus and shorter propodeal spine, by the head and partly legs being largely black, etc. Pycnomesitius krombeini (Nagy, 1968) Mesitius krombeini Nagy, 1968, Memorie Soc .ent. ital. 1968: 175 fig. 9, S (holotype), £ Sulcomesitius krombeini: 1970, Móczár, Acta zool. hung. 16: 411, 414, 419 <^ ó Sulcomesitius krombeini: 1977, Móczár, Acta zool.hung. 23: 140, 144, 146 figs 3-4, 20-21 o_ 6 Pycnomesitius krombeini: 1984a, Móczár, Folia ent.hung. 45: 117, 118 figs 16-20 o_ ó Specimen examined: Nepal: nr.
