HEAD. Head densely punctate near lateral margins of clypeus, on frontal spatium and lower part of frons outside ocular sinus, punctures contiguous or separated by a distance less that their own diameter (Fig. 15A); declivous part of vertex with dense punctures contiguous or separated by a distance less than their own diameter (Fig. 19A), remainder of head sparsely punctate to impunctate.
MESOSOMA. Mesocutum and dorsomedian area of propodeum moderately to densely punctate (Figs 23A, 27A), posterior marginal areas of scutellum and metanotum, sparsely punctate to impunctate (Fig. 27A); rear margin of dorsomedian area of propodeum medially produced into posteriorly directed tubercle (Fig. 23A). Mesopleuron largely densely but minutely punctate anteriorly and posteriorly, narrowly coarsely punctate along sharp median crest only; metapleuron largely densely but minutely punctate with effaced larger punctures on lower panel, with sharp carina dividing upper and lower panels; lateral panel of propodeum largely densely but minutely punctate, becoming more coarsely punctate dorsally and posteriorly. Scutellum and metanotum without median longitudinal carina (Fig. 27A). Dorso-median area of propodeum with distinct tubercule medially (Fig. 27A).
METASOMA. Metasoma with strong division between anterior and ventral faces of S 2 in lateral view; tergites broadly impunctate discally, becoming moderately punctate anteriorly and posteriorly (Figs 31A, 35A). Basal elevation of T2 well developed (gradulus) (Fig. 35A).
WINGS. Fore wing with two submarginal cells and two recurrent veins; second recurrent vein reaching submarginal cell. Fore wing with very few and minute short hairs in the first submarginal cell
COLOUR AND VESTITURE. Integument entirely black (Fig. 7A). Vestiture light yellow except black on T5 and T6. Wings mostly yellowish, fore wing darkly infumated with purple reflections anterodistally.
Male
STANDARD RATIOS (n = 5). L: 15.3–18.4 mm (mean = 16.5 mm); CR: 1.13–1.22 (mean = 1.17); OOR: 1.10–1.50 (mean = 1.33); CLR: 0.57–0.65 (mean = 0.61); MER: 1.14–1.33 (mean = 1.23); OMR: 1.01– 1.08 (mean = 1.04); FRR: 1.72–1.93 (mean = 1.82); MSR: 0.82–0.88 (mean = 0.85); TER: 1.34–1.47 (mean = 1.39).
HEAD. Head broadly impunctate on disc of clypeus (Fig. 17A); densely punctate on frontal spatium and ocular sinus (Fig. 21A); moderately punctate laterally on frons but broadly impunctate immediately in front of anterior ocellus, moderately punctate on declivous part of vertex; frontal spatium moderately well-defined posteriorly (Fig. 17A); frontal fissura present between posterior margin of frontal spatium and anterior ocellus.
MESOSOMA. Dorsum of pronotum with dense but very shallow punctures (Fig. 25A); mesoscutum uniformly moderately punctate (many punctures separated by about their diameter); scutellum and metanotum each moderately punctate anteriorly, broadly impunctate posteriorly (Fig. 25A); dorsum of propodeum mostly densely punctate (Fig. 29A). Lateral panels of mesosoma with punctation mostly obscured by dense appressed pile (Fig. 9A); mesopleuron mostly densely punctate; metapleuron and lateral panel of propodeum largely impunctate, upper and lower panels of metapleuron separated by sharp transverse carina. Scutellum and metanotum without median longitudinal carina (Fig. 29A). Dorso-median area of propodeum without distinct tubercule medially (Fig. 29A).
METASOMA. Metasoma with very weak division between anterior and ventral faces of S 2 in lateral view; tergites moderately but shallowly punctate (Figs 33A, 37A). Basal elevation of T2 well developed (gradulus) (Fig. 37A).
WINGS. Same as female, but first submarginal cell uniformly setose.
COLOUR AND VESTITURE. Integument mostly black with following areas yellow: base of mandible; broadly along lateral margin of clypeus; dorsum of pronotum; large paired spots on scutellum (spots may be more or less coalesced medially); disc of metanotum; pronotal callosity; broad yellow lines on all femora, fore and mid tibiae and fore basitarsus; more or less broad apical bands on T1–T5 and apicolaterally on S2– S4 (Figs 9A, 13A). Vestiture yellow or white except black on metasomal segments 6 and 7 (Fig. 9A). Wings lightly infumated.
GENITALIA. Ventral side of paramere with sparse setae mainly located on margin (Fig. 40A), dorsal side with denser setae on all its surface (Fig. 39A); volsella with a few long setae mainly on its apical exterior margin (Fig. 40A), cuspis volsellaris with sparse short setae on entire surface (Figs 40A, 41A, 42A); volsella with a few sensory cones medially on its external margin (Fig. 42A) and a wide lamella on inner margins (Fig. 39A). External margin of paramere abruptly angled medially, flattened apically (Fig. 40A); aedeagus with 10 teeth, serrated margin broadly convex
Distribution (Fig. 1A–B)
China (Anhui, Guangdong, Guizhou, Fujian, Hebei, Hong Kong [Kowloon], Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shandong, Sichuan, Taiwan, Yunan, Zhejiang); Indonesia (Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi); Philippines (Luzon, Leyte, Panay, Mindanao); Japan (Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, Okinawa island); Korea (South, Honam Jeju); Malaysia (Malacca); Myanmar (Tenasserim); Nepal; India (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Manipur, Meghalaya, Sikkim, Tripura, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh (Lucknow), West Bengal); Manchuria (?).

Notes
The male illustrated in Figure 9A is deposited at the Tai Lung Experimental Station, HK. As it bears no label it cannot be assumed to have been collected in Hong Kong though most specimens of this collection were collected on the farm grounds. Baltazar (1966: 223) recorded Leucophilis irrorata Chevrolat, 1841 (Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae) as a host for Campsomeriella annulata. This host species has not been recorded from Hong Kong but many closely related beetles in the tribes Leucopholini Burmeister, 1855 and Rhizotrogini Burmeister, 1855 are present in the territory (Paul Aston pers. com.).
