Subscribe/Renew Journal
The genus Omicroides was raised by Giordani Soika in 1961 based on the type species Eumenes singularis Smith. This genus differs from its nearest genus Eumenes Latrielle by having a distinct epicnemial carina on mesepistemum. This Oriental genus is represented by a single species Omicroides singularis (Smith). This species so far reported from Indonesia (Sumatra, Kalimantan), Malaysia (Sarawak), Myanmar, Singapore and Thailand (Smith, 1858; Giordani Soika, 1935; Vecht, 1937). In this paper, this genus is recorded for the first time from India based on the specimen collected from Nongpoh of Meghalaya state of north eastern India and a redescription is also provided.
