Description

Subgenus Discolia de Saussure, 1863

Scolia (Discolia) de Saussure, 1863: 18

(type species Scolia nobilitata Fabricius, 1804, by subsequent designation by Betrem & Bradley 1964).

Scolia (Scolioides) Guiglia & Capra, 1934: 115 (type species Apis hirta Schrank, 1781, by original designation).

Notes

All species of Scolia found in Hong Kong, including S. pakshaoensis sp. nov., can be assigned to the subgenus Discolia de Saussure, 1863, distinguished from the type subgenus by the less extensive setation at the base of the volsella in males (Gupta & Jonathan 2003; Liu et al. 2021a).
