Eridolius kambaiti Kasparyan, 1998. Entomological Review, 78(3): 273–279. Myanmar (NHRS). Examined.
Type material examined. Holotype, female, “N.E. BURMA, Kambaiti, 2000 m, 28.5.1934, Malaise”, (NHRS).
Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from all other Oriental species of the genus by the following characters: lower mandibular tooth just slightly longer than upper one (Fig. 27), T1 without flanges at glymmas, fore and middle coxae and all trochanters yellow, hind legs reddish except hind tibia, tarsus and apical part of femur brown (Figs 26–29), metasoma black with yellow posterior margins of T2–T7 (Fig. 29). This species is similar to the Palaearctic species E. ussuriensis Kasparyan, 1990, but differs by much slender hind femur (6.2 × as long as broad) and T1 (2 × as long as broad apically).
Description. Holotype female. Length of body 6.0 mm. Length of fore wing 5.7 mm.
Head. Flagellum broken, its two basal flagellomeres 1.34 × as long as maximum diameter of eye; first flagellomere 5.7 × as long as wide at apex. Head roundly narrowed posteriorly (Fig. 26); length of gena in middle 1.1 × transverse eye diameter; cheek convex below eye; gena smooth. Face widened ventrally with a weak median bulge (Fig. 27), smooth and polished. Frons smooth. Clypeus distinctly separated from face by depression, smooth, without punctures; its lower margin obtuse with a comb of setae. Malar space 0.5 × as long as basal width of mandible. Upper mandibular tooth slightly shorter than lower one; mandible not swollen before base, smooth, without punctures, with defined transverse depression at base (Fig. 27). Hypostomal carina not raised behind mandibles.
Mesosoma. Mesoscutum with fine and moderately dense punctures (Fig. 29). Mesopleuron (except for speculum) with uniform fine and moderately dense punctures; speculum large, covering about 0.75 × length of mesopleuron, polished part below mesopleural pit expands to posterior corner of mesopleuron. Scutellum rather finely punctate (Fig. 26). Metapleuron smooth without punctures. Propodeum shining, rather pubescent with long, dense white setae, with distinct punctures; basal area 0.5 as long as broad; costulae distinct; areola hexagonal, apical area 0.64 × as long as basal area and areola combined, with median longitudinal carina (Fig. 28). Pterostigma nearly 5 × as long as wide (Fig. 29). Areolet petiolate (Fig. 29). Fore wing with cu-a slightly postfurcal. Hind wing with cu-a intercepted below the middle. Fore claws with 4 teeth. Hind femur 6.2 × as long as wide; proportion of the length of hind tarsomeres 1 to 5: 5.3: 2.7: 1.8: 1: 2.
Metasoma. T1 1.6 × as long as apically broad with median dorsal carinae extending to 0.65 its length, the space between carinae smooth and impunctate; dorso-lateral carinae defined, up to apical 0.6. T1 (beyond spiracles) and T2 completely smooth and more or less evenly covered with distinct punctures, average distances between punctures equal to 1–2 × their diameter. Last sternite elongate. Parameres broad basally.
Color. Body mostly black (Figs 26–29). Antenna dark brown, first and second flagellomeres ventrally reddishbrown. Clypeus except its narrow basal part, mandibles except teeth, palps (Fig. 27), posterior edges of pronotum, tegulae (Fig. 26), fore and middle coxae and all trochanters yellow (Fig. 29). Legs reddish except: hind tibia and tarsus brown, fore and middle tibiae basally reddish-brown, hind femur dark apically. Metasoma black, T2–T7 with whitish posterior margin (Fig. 29). Sternites white with pair of black marks. Hypopygium black with white posterior margin. Pterostigma brown.
Male. Unknown.
Distribution: Myanmar (kachin).
