The generic name is feminine therefore the code requires that gender of the species name be changed to agree.
Diagnosis
Quite variable in coloration; mesosoma from mostly black to extensively pale especially laterally; median tergite 2 from completely pale to mostly melanic with a pale transverse band basally. Third labial palpomere well developed, more than 9 spines on the mid tibia. Figures 19, 20 and 21 are of Thai specimens, figure 22 illustrates the holotype.

Description
The holotype is well described in Gupta and Bhat (1974)[1]. Based on the original description, and the name of the species, we assume that the melanic color of the type specimen has faded. Below are a few details for the Thai specimens.
Body length: 3.7 - 3.8 mm. Penultimate labial palpomere well developed. OOL 0.17; POD 0.06; IOL 0.10; 26 flagellomeres. Mid tibia with 9–10 spines; hind tibia with 12–13 spines. First metasomal median tergite (T1) 1.3 times longer than wide apically and distinctly granulate; sculpture of T2 distinctly granulate, remaining median tergites smooth.
Distribution
The holotype is from Java and other specimen records include eastern India and Thailand. Distribution map of the Thai specimens can be found at http://purl.org/thaimaps/nigra.
Specimens are deposited in the USNM (holotype, and paratypes), CNC (paratypes), other examined specimens are deposited in QSBG, HIC and RMNH.
