Subspecies Pseudabispa bicolor bicolor (Saussure, 1855)

Odynerus bicolor Saussure, H. de 1855. Études sur la Famille des Vespides. Troisième Partie comprenant la Monographie des Masariens et un Supplément à la Monographie des Eumeniens. Paris : Masson 49-288 pls vi-xiv. [Griffin, F.J. 1939. On the dates of publication of Saussure (H. de): Etudes sur la famille des Vespides 1–3, 1852–1858. Journal of the Society for the Bibliography of Natural History 1: 211–212 (dates pages and plates published)] [284].
Type data:
Holotype BMNH ♀ adult (seen 1929 by L.F. Graham), MacIntyre River, NSW.
Odynerus (Rhynchium) bicolor flavescentulus Giordani Soika, A. 1941. Studi sui Vespidi solitari. Bollettino della Società Veneziana Storia Naturale 2: 130-279 [258] [originally described as variety. Borsato (2003) questioned the validity of this subspecies, probably a synonym of the nominate one, but not having seen the type. This taxon was described on the base of a single male, characterized by body parts with yellow instead of orange, whereas a much larger sample shows a gradual variation from brown to orange to yellow. It was synonymised by Carpenter & Brown (2021).].
Type data:
Lectotype BMNH ♂ adult, Alexandria, NT.
