Further characters from the very short TSUNEKI's diagnosis: "... mesoplcuron with epimerial area polished and sparsely punctured, while below there surface longitudinally, arcuately striate... gastral tergite 1 at central part in front of apical impunctate area very minutely, somewhat closely punctured. Wing slightly darker than in the compared species, gaster completely black, only at extreme base somewhat brownish. Head and thorax metallic blue green, legs except pale brown fore tibia black or brownish black". Additions to the diagnosis: MS 1.0 MOD long. Ped 1.5 times as long as wide, F-I 2.5 times, F-II and F-III 1.6 times as long as wide. Clypeus (Fig. 16) with concave lateral edges, with nearly obtuse angled lateral corners and slightly arcuate apical margin. Head with smaller close punctures, pronotum Hat, with larger and deeper, mesonotum (Fig. 21), scutellum partly with smaller and somewhat sparse punctures. Axillae small and narrow. Postscutellum with a larger split, with some foveae in front medially and somewhat more flattened, twice emarginatcd posteriorly (Fig. 21). Nervulus ante fureal, nearly interstitial. T-II-III densely, T-II I partly punctured and similar to T-IV with large and minute double punctures. The following small differences are between the TSUNEKI\s diagnosis and the examined holotype: head, thorax more greenish blue, with some violet tint, it is not "blue green", posterior margin of T-I-II brownish only laterally, and not "gaster completely black..." One male (from Japan) differs from holotype as follows: lateral margins of propodeum slightly convergent and concave before corners with a stumpy tooth. Propodeum in front with about 9 well outlined longitudinal ridges, which divide the central area into 4 parts extending to half length of the segment. These small differences establish only the variability of the species. The proportions of this male specimen: MS 1.0 MOD long. Ped 1.6 times as long as wide, F-I 2.3 x, F-II 1.5 x, T-III 1.8 times as long as wide. Distribution - Japan (TSUNEKI 1986). Remarks - It is clear from TSUNEKI's diagnosis, the specimen and the locality label, that this specimen represents the holotype. It is presumable that TSUNEKI indicated female in his diagnosis by mistake, because the specimen is a male. After examining further type materials in Osaka Museum, the other determination labels were written probably not by TSUNEKI. Cleptes mishimaensis hokkaidoi ssp. n. Type material - Holotype: "Japan: Hokkaido Nukabira 600 m 5.VII. 1989, swept M. J. SHARKEY", "Holotypus CI. mish. hokkaidoi S ssp. n. Móczár 1999", 1 S (CNCI). (j - Length 5.1 mm. Head, pronotum, scutellum, postscutellum and partly propodeum, mesoplcuron, fore femora blue outside, mesonotum greenish blue with some golden tint. Scape and hind femora bluish green outside. Tegulae, abdomen brownish black. T-T basally, T-II with very small yellowish brown spots laterally. Fore tibia and metatarsus yellowish brown. Ped, flagellomeres dark brown. Wings evenly and moderately infuscated, anterior vein of discoidal cell faintly indicated. Body covered with white hairs. Head 1.2 times as wide as long. Frons convex, with dense punctures. MS 0.8 MOD long. Ped 1.5 times as long as wide, F-I 2.1 x, F-II and F-III 1.6 times as long as wide. Frontal sulcus very narrow, hardly interrupted medially. Surface of clypeus convex, punctured before nearly straight
