Archimicrodon malukensis

Diagnosis
The entirely black head, thorax (including femora and tibiae) and abdomen (whether or not with metallic hues) are shared with five other described Archimicrodon-species of the Indo-Australian region (Australia excluded). Archimicrodon boharti (Curran, 1947) (Solomon Islands) differs from this species by the metallic blue shining scutellum, clearly contrasting with the non-metallic mesonotum (in Archimicrodon malukensis sp. n. mesonotum and scutellum are of the same black colour). The same character also applies to Archimicrodon limbinervis (de Meijere, 1908) and Archimicrodon incisuralis (Walker, 1865) from New Guinea, and Archimicrodon purpurescens (Shiraki, 1963) from Micronesia, which also differ by the black pilose scutellum (white pilose in Archimicrodon malukensis). Archimicrodon grageti (de Meijere, 1908) (New Guinea) differs by the brownish abdomen and reddish yellow pregenital segments (black in Archimicrodon malukensis).
