Paroplitis sp. Paroplitis vietnamensis Ahmed (2017: 103). Misidentification.
Distribution.
Oriental Region: India (Jammu and Kashmir).
Comments.
This species seems to be closely related to P. rugosus and P. japonicus in having mostly entirely sculptured T1 and T2, comparatively large areolet and R1 almost as long as the length of pterostigma. However, it differs by comparatively slender F15, propodeum with longitudinal carina and comparatively slender metafemur, according to photographs by Ahmed (2017: his plate 32). These morphological differences are strong enough to consider it as a separate species. As we have not been able to examine specimens of this species, it shall remain undescribed for the time being.
