Diagnosis
Calligaster cyanoptera is distinguished from its congeners by the combination of the following characters: metasomal tergum I in lateral view moderately convex dorsally, with distinct preapical depression (Fig. 3), in dorsal view nearly parallel-sided, relatively slender, about 2.5 times as long as its maximum width (Fig. 7); female clypeus in frontal view about 1.5 times as wide as high, with ventral margin more or less truncated rather than broadly rounded (Fig. 10); male clypeus in frontal view about 1.5 times as wide as high, with semi-elliptic emargination at ventral margin (Fig. 14); tergum I hardly punctured, so that dorsal striae are more or less conspicuous (Fig. 7).

Remarks
In his monograph on solitary vespid wasps, de Saussure (1852)[5] described Calligaster cyanoptera based on at least two (the body length was mentioned as “20 á 25 mill. [20 to 25 mill.]”) females from “Java”. The syntypes were indicated to be in “Musée de Leyde” (de Saussure 1852[5]: 24), but no one has referred to the syntypes. Gribodo (1892[2]: 261) described Zethus (Calligaster) javanus based on a single male from “Kaliparè [in Malang] (Giava orientale [East Java])”, and van der Vecht (1937[3]: 262) synonymized it under Calligaster cyanoptera, stating “… Gribodo’s species is undoubtedly conspecific with Calligaster cyanopterus … the shape of the clypeus is very different in the two sexes”. Meade-Waldo (1914[6]: 204) published, as a synonym of Calligaster cyanopterus de Saussure, 1852, “Zethus erythrostomus Cameron”, which was actually an unpublished Cameron’s manuscript name for a female specimen from Lawang, East Java (Bequaert 1928[7]: 157).
This species have so far been recorded from Sumatra Is. (Gribodo 1892[2]: 260) and Java Is. (de Saussure 1852[5], Gribodo 1892[2], van der Vecht 1937[3], 1938[8]; our own data as listed below), and we herewith firstly record the species from Bali Is. We also collected a couple of nests made on tree twigs along the creek at Baturiti, Bali; their structure is basically the same as that from the south of Garut, West Java, described by van der Vecht (1938)[8].
