Fig. 11

Enicospilus bakerielli Gauld & Mitchell, 1981: 203; holotype ♀ from Philippines (NMNH).

Diagnosis

Interocellar area yellowish brown (or black in one specimen from Philippines); clypeus weakly convex, ventral margin acute; mandible twisted 30°–45°, outer surface with a weak diagonal setose groove or with a tuft of long setae; fore wing darkened at marginal cell proximally and between proximal and distal sclerites in Vietnamese specimens, only a little darkened around vein 2r&RS in examined material from Philippines, proximal sclerite strongly pigmented, more or less triangular (Vietnamese specimens) with anterior corner acute to D-shaped, SDI = 0.66–0.75; hind tarsal claws with distal pecten projecting beyond apical tooth.

Material examined

PHILIPPINES • 1 ♀, 1 ♂, 1 unsexed [metasoma missing]; Dapitan; P.I. Baker leg.; NHMUK • 1 ♀; Los Banos; P.I. Baker leg.; NHMUK. Specimens in NHMUK were identified as E. bakerielli by I.D. Gauld in 1980 and labelled as paratypes, but were not listed under the material examined section in Gauld & Mitchell (1981).

VIETNAM • 1 ♀; Thai Nguyen Province, Dinh Hoa, Phu Dinh; 100 m a.s.l., 2 Apr. 2004; Hoang V.T. leg.; hand net; IEBR • 1 ♀; Dong Nai Province, Vinh Cuu, Phu Ly; 1 Aug. 2008; Ta H.T. and Hoang V.T. leg.; light trap; IEBR • 1 ♀; Cao Bang Province, Phia Oac - Phia Den NP; 22°35.305′ N, 105°52.552′ E; 1216 m a.s.l.; 23 May 2020; Hoang V.T. and Pham V.P. leg.; light trap; IEBR • 1 ♀; same locality as for preceding; 8 May 2021; Nguyen D.H. leg.; light trap; IEBR.

Remarks

There is some minor variation between examined material from Philippines, and the Vietnamese specimens, and these might not be conspecific.

Distribution

Previously known from Papua New Guinea and Philippines (Yu et al. 2016). These are the first records of this species from Vietnam.
