Abstract Abstract

An annotated checklist of the Chinese Chrysididae is provided. The list includes 188 species and subspecies in twenty three genera of five subfamilies. Four species are proposed as new combinations: Hedychridium cupreum asianum (Linsenmaier, 1997), Philoctetes deauratus (Mocsáry, 1914), Philoctetes mordvilkoi (Semenov-Tian-Shanskij, 1932), and Pseudomalus hypocritus (du Buysson, 1893). Two species are revalidated: Chrysis consobrina Mocsáry, 1889, and Philoctetes mongolicus (du Buysson, 1901). Historical data with comments on the current taxonomic position, and the pictures of sixty five types are also given.

Keywords: Chrysididae, catalogue, new combination, status revived, pictures, China

Introduction

The Chrysididae, commonly known as cuckoo wasps or goldwasps, are a cosmopolitan family and have the greatest diversity in the Palaearctic Region (Morgan 1984). Based on the most recent investigation, 87 genera and 2509 species have been described worldwide in this family (Aguiar et al. 2013). Cuckoo wasps are parasitoids or cleptoparasites of stick insects, moths, and other wasps, bees and sawflies (Kimsey and Bohart 1991). Kimsey and Bohart (1991) divided this family into four subfamilies (Amiseginae, Chrysidinae, Cleptinae, and Loboscelidinae), while Mocsáry (1889), Linsenmaier (1959), Mingo (1994), and Rosa et al. (2013) considered also Parnopinae as a valid subfamily and we follow the latter taxonomic interpretation.

In 1864 Smith included Stilbum cyanurum (sub splendidum) from China in a table of his paper. This is the first report of the Chrysididae from China. From then on, many articles with occasional descriptions of new species of Chinese chrysidid can be found in the literature (Smith 1874a, 1874b; du Buysson 1887, 1893, 1898a, 1898b, 1898c, 1899, 1900, 1901a, 1904, 1908; Mocsáry 1887, 1889, 1890, 1911, 1912a, 1912b, 1913a, 1913b, 1914; Radoszkowski 1887, 1889, 1891; Semenow 1892; Semenov-Tian-Shansky 1909; Bischoff 1910; Uchida 1927; Semenov-Tian-Shanskij 1932, 1954, 1967; Hammer 1936, 1950; Tsuneki 1947, 1948a, 1950, 1953a, 1970b, 1982; Linsenmaier 1959, 1968, 1997a; Lin 1964; Móczár 1968; Kimsey 1987a, 1987b, 1988, 1995; Rosa 2003; Xu et al. 2003, 2006; Liu et al. 2010, 2011; Yao et al. 2010; Wei et al. 2013; Wei et al. 2014a, 2014b). But these descriptions are scattered and a compositive review of the Chinese Chrysididae is necessary.

The aim of the present checklist is to summarize the taxa previously recorded for China as a base for further research.

Material and methods

The list follows the genera subdivision proposed by Kimsey and Bohart (1991), with few exceptions. The species are listed alphabetically. Type depositories are given mainly according to Kimsey and Bohart (1991). Types examined are asterisked (*) after the type depositories.

The following abbreviations are used in the text: aberr. (aberratio), biol. (biology), cat. (catalogue), cit. (citation), comp. notes (comparative notes), ecol. (ecology), design. (designation), distr. (distribution), ex. (examplar), fig. (figs) (figure (figures)), misid. (misidentification), pl. (pls) (fig (figs)), syn. (synonym), tab. (table), tax. (taxonomy), typ. gen. (typus generis).

Pictures of the types were taken with Nikon D-80 connected to the stereomicroscope Togal SCZ and stacked with the software Combine ZP.

Types and other specimens were deposited in the following institutions:

  • Elampus albipennis : Kimsey and Bohart 1991: 166 (cat.).

Distribution.

China (Liaoning, Beijing). Widely distributed in the Palaearctic Region (Tsuneki 1953a; Linsenmaier 1959). The Chinese specimen is not listed in the distribution by Kimsey and Bohart (1991).

Remarks.

The record of Notozus violascens Mocsáry by du Buysson (1911) is a misidentification: the reduced dimension and the green colour reported by the author match other species: Elampus albipennis Mocsáry, Elampus mocsaryi (Radoszkowski) and Elampus turcmenicus (Linsenmaier). Without examining the specimens it is not possible to correctly identify them.

Linsenmaier (1959) placed Elampus tournieri Dalla Torre, 1892 (repl. name for Elampus viridis Tournier, 1890) as synonym of Elampus albipennis (Mocsáry).

Material examined.

Heilongjiang: 1♂, Harbin, without data; 1♂, Harbin, 10.VII.1949 leg. Alin (NMLS).

Distribution.

China (Heilongjiang, Liaoning). Widely distributed in the Palaearctic Region (Tsuneki 1953a; Linsenmaier 1959, 1968).

Remarks.

The taxonomic status of Elampus coeruleus is unclear. Various authors have alternately considered it as a valid species, a subspecies of Elampus panzeri, or a synonym of either Elampus panzeri or Elampus constrictus.

31. Elampus constrictus

(Förster, 1853)

http://species-id.net/wiki/Notozus_constrictus

  • Notozus constrictus Förster, 1853: 336. Holotype ♂, Germany: Aachen (336 (descr.), depository: MNHU)*.

  • Ellampus (Notozus) soror Mocsáry, 1889: 68. Neotype ♀ design. by Móczár (1964b: 422), Hungary: Budapest (depository: HNHM) (synonymised by Móczár, 1967).

  • Elampus panzeri sensu Trautmann, 1927, sensu Linsenmaier, 1959.

  • Notozus yasumatsui : Tsuneki 1948a: 116 (China: Kaiyüan).

  • Notozus panzeri : Tsuneki 1948a: 118 (China: Shanxi: Tungyehchen, distr., tax.), 128 (China: Shanxi, cat.).

  • Notozus coeruleus f. soror : Tsuneki 1953a: 54 (China: Kaiyüan, tax.).

Distribution.

China (Liaoning, Shanxi). Widely distributed in the Palaearctic Region (Linsenmaier 1959; Móczár 1967).

Remarks.

Tsuneki (1953a) wrote that the paratype of Elampus yasumatsui from Shanxi is to be referred to Elampus (=Notozus) coeruleus f. soror. The taxonomic position of Elampus soror is unclear: according to Linsenmaier (1959) it is a synonym of Elampus coeruleus Dahlbom. It has been considered a variety of Elampus coeruleus (Bischoff 1913), Elampus panzeri (Trautmann 1927) and Elampus constrictus (Móczár 1964b). Only Kimsey and Bohart (1991) listed Elampus soror as a valid species. We here consider Elampus soror as a synonym of Elampus constrictus following Móczár (1967) and Rosa and Soon (2012). Kimsey and Bohart (1991) considered Elampus panzeri and Elampus constrictus synonyms of Chrysis Elampus scutellaris Panzer, but without any type examination.

32. Elampus mocsaryi

7. Genus Hedychridium Abeille de Perrin, 1878
37. Hedychridium ardens mongolicum

Tsuneki, 1947

http://species-id.net/wiki/Hedychridium_ardens_mongolicum

  • Hedychridium ardens ssp. mongolicum Tsuneki, 1947: 47. Holotype ♀, China: Inner Mongolia: Apaka (47 (descr.), depository: NIAS).

  • Hedychridium ardens ssp. mongolicum : Linsenmaier 1959: 48 (possible synonym of incensum Mocsáry, 1914).

  • Hedychridium ardens : Kurzenko and Lelej 2007: 1003 (China: Gansu: Xiahe, cat.).

Distribution.

China (Inner Mongolia, Gansu).

Remarks.

Linsenmaier (1959) considered Hedychridium ardens ssp. mongolicum a possible junior synonym of Hedychridium incensum (Mocsáry, 1914). The type examination of Hedychridium ardens ssp. mongolicum is needed, because Hedychridium ardens ssp. mongolicum could be also related to Hedychridium ardens ssp. asianum Linsenmaier, 1997 described from Mongolia [= integrum ssp. asianum]. However, Linsenmaier did not check any types in this complicated species group.

http://species-id.net/wiki/Hedychridium_integrum_asianum

  • Hedychridium integrum ssp. asianum Linsenmaier, 1997a: 254. Holotype ♂, Mongolia: Central Aimag, Ulan Bator, 1900 m (254 (descr.), type series: China: Gansu, Xiahe, 3000–3500 m, depository: coll. Koschwitz, Germany).

Distribution.

China (Gansu). Mongolia (Linsenmaier 1997a).

Remarks.

Linsenmaier (1959) and Kimsey and Bohart (1991) listed Hedychridium integrum (Dahlbom, 1829) and Hedychridium cupreum (Dahlbom, 1845) as valid species, but Hedychridium integrum is a greenish form of Hedychridium ardens (Coquebert, 1801) (Paukkunen et al. 2014). Therefore we transfer the subspecies Hedychridium asianum Linsenmaier to Hedychridium cupreum (Dahlbom).

Distribution.

China (Shanxi). Widely distributed from central and northern Europe to West Asia (Linsenmaier 1959, 1997a).

Remarks.

The species was listed as cupratum Dahlbom by Tsuneki (1948a), a species endemic to the European Alps and is to be excluded from the Chinese fauna. It is likely that Tsuneki was referring to cupreum (Dahlbom, 1854), which is widely distributed from central and northern Europe all the way to West Asia.

Host.

Cerceris arenaria (Linnaeus, 1758) (Hymenoptera, Crabronidae) (Tsuneki 1979).

Remarks.

Mocsáry examined at least two specimens of both sexes (see the simbols male and female in the first couplet). However, in the original description Mocsáry (in Radoszkowski) gave the description of Hedychrum simile (sub cyaneum Mocsáry nec Brullé) based only on the male housed in the Radoszkowski collection and dissected by the Russian entomologist, who drew the genitalia. The type locality given by Radoszkowski is “Siberia orientalis”, and it has to be referred only to the male housed in the Radoszkowski collection. In the MNHM, we examined the rest of the type series listed by Mocsáry (1889): a female specimen collected in China (Ta-schian-sy). French (1986) designated this female as lectotype. However, this female belongs to a different species compared with the male collected in Siberia. The female lectotype is characterised by the very long pronotum (similar to Hedychrum longicolle) and sharp and pointing out propodeal angles, while the male has a short pronotum and wide and triangular propodeal angles. A revision of the blue Asian species of Hedychrum is missing and urgently needed.

10. Genus Holopyga Dahlbom, 1845
60. Holopyga amoenula virideaurata

Linsenmaier, 1951

http://species-id.net/wiki/Holopyga_amoenula_virideaurata

  • Holopyga amoenula var. virideaurata Linsenmaier, 1951: 16. Holotype ♀, Greece: Rhodes (16 (descr.), depository: NMLS)*.

  • Holopyga amoenula ssp. virideaurata : Linsenmaier 1959: 31 (? China, tax.).

  • Holopyga amoenula : Kimsey and Bohart 1991: 228 (cat.).

Material examined.

Heilongjiang: 1♂, Harbin, 6.VII.1947; 1♀, id., 10.VII.1949; 1♂, id., 20.VII.1953, all specimens leg. Alin; 1♀, China; 1♂, Kouy-Théou Cavalarie 1921 (NMLS).

Distribution.

China (Heilongjiang, Guizhou). Widely distributed in the Palaearctic Region (Kimsey and Bohart 1991).

Remarks.

Linsenmaier (1959) dubiously considered the specimens from Harbin to be Holopyga amoenula ssp. virideaurata. These specimens were still identified as virideaurata in his collection and seem to fit the current interpretation of the taxon. At present, Holopyga amoenula amoenula is an endemism of the Mediterranean island of Rhodes, but some specimens may also be found in southern Greece. A re-evaluation of all the subspecies and taxa related to Holopyga amoenula s. str. is urgently needed.

61. Holopyga chrysonota

(Förster, 1853)

http://species-id.net/wiki/Ellampus_chrysonotus

  • Ellampus chrysonotus Förster, 1853: 347. Holotype ♀, Hungary: Budapest (347 (descr.), depository: MNHU)*.

  • Holopyga gloriosa f. chrysonota : Tsuneki 1947: 45 (cat.), 46 (China: Beijing, Inner Mongolia, tax., distr.).

  • Holopyga chrysonota : Linsenmaier 1959: 30 (key), 32 (tax., descr.), 197 (fig. 34); Kimsey and Bohart 1991: 227 (fig. 68a), 230 (cat.); Kurzenko and Lelej 2007: 1004 (China, cat.).

Distribution.

China (Beijing, Inner Mongolia). Widely distributed in the Palaearctic Region (Kurzenko and Lelej 2007).

Remarks.

The identification of this taxon is dubious because Tsuneki (1947) did not separate ignicollis Dahlbom, 1854 from chrysonota (Förster, 1853). The two were later recognized as valid species by Linsenmaier (1959), who provided both a key and characteristics to distinguish them from one another. The specific name Chrysis gloriosa Fabricius (=Holopyga gloriosa) was suppressed by ICZN (1998).

62. Holopyga generosa

(Förster, 1853)

http://species-id.net/wiki/Ellampus_generosus

  • Ellampus generosus Förster, 1853: 349. Syntypes ♂♂, Germany: Aachen (349 (descr.), depository: MNHU)*.

  • Holopyga ovata Dahlbom, 1854: 51. Syntypes, Italy, Austria, Prussia, Sweden (51 (descr.), depositories: MRSN, MNHU, LZM)*. Linsenmaier 1959: 29 (key), 31 (China, tax., descr.) (synonymised by Linsenmaier 1997a).

  • Holopyga fastuosa generosa : Linsenmaier 1997a: 250 (China, tax.); Linsenmaier 1997b: 32 (figs 10, b4, c5), 33 (key), 57 (China, tax., descr., distr.).

  • Holopyga generosa : Rosa 2006: 39 (ecol.), 41 (ecol.), 42 (ecol.), 52 (ecol.), 55 (distr.), 78 (cat.), 137 (key), 146 (tax., descr., distr.).

Distribution.

China. Widely distributed in the Palaearctic Region (Linsenmaier 1959).

Remarks.

Kimsey and Bohart (1991) considered Holopyga generosa a junior synonym of Holopyga chrysonota, while fastuosa and ovata synonyms of amoenula. Linsenmaier (1997a) considered generosa (Förster) as a subspecies of Holopyga fastuosa (Lucas).

63. Holopyga ignicollis

Dahlbom, 1854

http://species-id.net/wiki/Holopyga_ovata_ignicollis

  • Holopyga ovata var. ignicollis Dahlbom, 1854: 53 (given as var. h). Syntypes ♂♀, Greece, Rhodes, Austria (53 (descr.), depositories: NHMW, MNHU)*.

  • Holopyga gloriosa var. aureomaculata Abeille de Perrin, 1879: 32. Syntypes ♂♂, France: Marseille (32 (descr.), depository: MNHN)*.

  • Holopyga gloriosa var. aureomaculata : du Buysson 1900: 128 (China: Beijing, cat.).

Distribution.

China (Beijing). Central and southern Europe, North Africa, Turkey (Linsenmaier 1959).

Remarks.

Holopyga aureomaculata Abeille is recognized to be the male of Holopyga ignicollis Dahlbom. This is a dubious identification, which can perhaps be referenced to Holopyga chrysonota. In Kimsey and Bohart (1991: 230) Holopyga ignicollis is synonym of Holopyga chrysonota, but the two species are clearly distinct.

Distribution.

China (Inner Mongolia, Taiwan). In literature the records for mainland China are listed under the name pygialis du Buysson and the Taiwanese citations are listed under the name sauteri. It is widely distributed in the Palearctic from Europe to the Russian Far East and in the Nearctic, where it is very likely to have been introduced via commerce (Kimsey and Bohart 1991; Kurzenko and Lelej 2007).

Remarks.

Du Buysson described pygialis based on two syntypes collected in China and Caucasus: “Deux esemplaires ♂♀: Chine, Caucase” [not Chinese Caucasus as listed in Kimsey and Bohart, 1991]. Tsuneki (1946) considered Ellampus potanini as synonym of sauteri.

76. Philoctetes mongolicus

(du Buysson, 1901), status revived

http://species-id.net/wiki/Ellampus_horvathi_mongolicus

  • Ellampus horvathi var. mongolicus du Buysson, 1901b: 98. Syntypes ♂♀, N Mongolia (98 (descr.), depository: NHMW)*.

  • Ellampus horwathi (!) var. mongolicus : du Buysson 1911: 219 (China: Nan Chan, Che Yeou Ho, tax.); Bischoff 1913: 8 (cat.).

  • Notozus mongolicus : Tsuneki 1948a: 116 (China: Shanxi: Wutaishan, tax., distr.), 128 (China: Shanxi, cat.).

  • Omalus (Notozus) mongolicus : Linsenmaier 1959: 16 (key), 23 (cat., ambiguus group).

  • Philoctetes horvathi : Kimsey and Bohart 1991: 256 (cat.).

Distribution.

China (Shanxi). Widely distributed from Mongolia to Central Asia and southern Russia to Volga (Trautmann 1927).

Remarks.

Philoctetes mongolicus was often erroneously considered belonging to the genus Elampus (= Notozus) due to its elongated metanotal projection. However, the metanotal projection is also present in various Philoctetes species (e.g.: Philoctetes putoni (du Buysson)). Kimsey and Bohart (1991) placed Philoctetes mongolicus under Philoctetes horvathi, even if Tsuneki and Linsenmaier considered it as a valid species. Type examination has confirmed that Philoctetes mongolicus is indeed a valid species.

Remarks.

Ellampus mordvilkoi shows the main characteristics of the genus Philoctetes sensu Kimsey and Bohart (1991). The gena is not bisected by the genal carina, the punctuation on the mesosoma is more distributed along the notauli and the anal margin of the last metasomal tergite has a distinct brownish transparent rim with a wide median notch. Therefore, we have moved this taxon into the genus Philoctetes Abeille.

Remarks.

The type of Chrysis (Tetrachrysis) carnifex shares most of the characteristics with the type of Chrysis keriensis Mocsáry, which is the male of Chrysis chrysochlora Mocsáry. The main difference is found in the punctuation on the mesosoma and on the first two metasomal tergites. Tsuneki (1948a, 1948b) considered Chrysis (Tetrachrysis) carnifex Mocsáry as a junior synonym of Chrysis chrysochlora Mocsáry, 1889.

For this reason Kimsey and Bohart (1991) placed it in synonym of Chrysis soror. However the type examination of Chrysis consobrina confirms that it is a valid species because it shares only a similar colour with Chrysis scutellaris and Chrysis soror.

Distribution.

China (Inner Mongolia, Shanxi).

Host.

Possible host is Podalonia caucasica Morawitz (Hymenoptera, Sphecidae).

Remarks.

Euchroeus mongolicus was synonymised with Brugmoia quadrata (=Euchroeus purpuratus) by Kimsey and Bohart (1991). But, the generic name Euchroeus Latreille, 1809 and specific name Chrysis purpurata Fabricius, 1787 were conserved by ICZN (1998). As a result the generic name Brugmoia Radoszkowski, 1877 (used by Kimsey and Bohart (1991)) is a junior synonym of Euchroeus Latreille, 1809, and the name quadrata is a junior synonym of purpurata.

Euchroeus mongolicus is well characterized by the male’s colouration (similar to that of the female, in contrast with the green-blue colouration of the males belonging to this genus) and by its sparse punctuation, the smallest mandibles and shorter tongue compared with the typical Euchroeus purpuratus.

Remarks.

The oriental specimens examined (from China to Kyrgyzstan) are differentiated from the typical Euchroeus purpuratus (Fabricius, 1787) and are considered as a valid species. The coarse body sculpture and different colouration between the two demonstrate that they are different species.

  • Praestochrysis lachesis : Kimsey and Bohart 1991: 532 (Taiwan, cat.).

Distribution.

China (Taiwan).

Remarks.

Tsuneki (1955) assumed that Chrysis lachesis was a synonym of Chrysis basilacuna. According to his description, the only distinguishing characteristic between the two species is the length of the antennal segments, which we think that could be a sexual dimorphic characteristic. Tsuneki was not able to study the type of Chrysis lachesis and postponed discussion of the possible synonymy. Later, Tsuneki (1970b) considered Chrysis basilacuna a synonym of Chrysis lachesis without further discussion, but he surely examined all of the material available in the area. Kimsey and Bohart (1991) did not examine the type of Chrysis basilacuna and placed it in the genus Chrysis. However, the anal margin of the third tergite with five teeth excludes this species from the genus Chrysis s. str., and we agree with Tsuneki’s interpretation.

Remarks.

Chrysis (Trichrysis) buyssoni Mocsáry was a replacement name for Trichrysis pellucida (du Buysson, 1887). However, after 1889, the name Brugmoia pellucida Radoszkowski was considered belonging to the genus Euchroeus Latreille and no longer congeneric. According to the Code (Art. 59), a junior secondary homonym replaced before 1961 is permanently invalid unless the substitute name is not in use and the relevant taxa are no longer considered congeneric, in which case the junior homonym is not to be rejected on grounds of that replacement.

II. Taxa to be excluded from China

1. Chrysis coerulans Fabricius, 1804

Remarks.

Radoszkovsky (1866) identified two specimens as Chrysis coerulans Fabricius, but it is a misidentification, as Chrysis coerulans is a Nearctic species (currently Chrysis nitidula Fabricius, 1775). Radoszkovski was not sure about his identification: “J’ai placé cette espèce sous le nom de coerulans; quoique plus rapprochée par la couleur de cette dernière espèce, elle ressemble en même temps par sa forme à la chrysis nitidula”. Dalla Torre (1892, sub caerulans Fabr.) reported the same datum for China.

2. Chrysis syriaca Guérin-Méneville, 1842

Remarks.

Bischoff (1913: 51) erroneusly listed Chrysis nomima du Buysson (currently Chrysis syriaca) as being from China, rather than from Algeria and Egypt.

3. Holopyga gloriosa viridis Guérin-Méneville, 1842

Remarks.

Holopyga viridis is present from North Africa to Palestine (Linsenmaier 1959, 1999) with records also found further west towards Oman (Linsenmaier 1994). Its appearance in China is dubius and the specimens identified by Tsuneki (1947, 1948a) must be double-checked.

III. Doubtful taxa mentioned in China

1. Cleptes nitidulus (Fabricius, 1793)

Remarks.

The report of Chrysis nitidulus in the east Palaearctic (Uchida 1926) was considered debatable by Ha et al. (2011). Therefore, Chrysis nitidulus is temporarily excluded from the checklist of the Chinese Cleptes.

2. Cleptes semiauratus (Linnaeus, 1758)

Remarks.

As in the previous case, Sheng et al. (1998) reported Chrysis semiauratus as a new record to China. After examining the specimens, Wei et al. (2013) discovered that the specimen evidently belonged to an undescribed species (Chrysis shengi Wei, Rosa and Xu, 2013). However Chrysis semiauratus may be present in the most western part of the country.

3. Hedychrum coerulescens Shuckard, 1837

Remarks.

Tsuneki (1946, 1947, 1948a) listed Hedychrum coerulescens Schuckard, 1837 nec Lepeletier, 1806, nec Chevrier, 1862. The occurence of this species in China is surely in error. Tsuneki based the identification on a very short diagnosis of two specimens housed in BMNH without locality labels. At present these species cannot be recognized and the description is not adequate to identify the species. Furthermore, the name Hedychrum coerulescens Schuckard is a primary junior homonym of Hedychrum coerulescens Lepeletier, 1806 (currently Pseudomalus violaceus (Scopoli, 1763)).

4. Holopyga amoenula amoenula Dahlbom, 1854

Remarks.

The presence of Holopyga amoenula amoenula Dahlbom, 1854 (sub Holopyga gloriosa amoenula in du Buysson (1911) and Tsuneki (1948a)) is restricted to the island of Rhodes. The Chinese records identified by du Buysson and Tsuneki must be double-checked so as to confirm their identity.

5. Loboscelidia defecta Kieffer, 1916

Remarks.

It was listed from south China by Kimsey and Bohart (1991), but was recently excluded from the Chinese fauna by Kimsey (2012).

6. Pseudomalus bergi (Semenov-Tian-Shanskij, 1932)

Remarks.

Kimsey and Bohart (1991) mistakenly listed bergi as having originally described from China, but the correct locality is “Prov. Heptapotamica (Semiretshj’e); vallis fl. Kora in montibus Alatau Dzungarico”. “Dzungarian Alatau” is a mountain range found along the boundary between Dzungaria (China) and Zhetysu (Kazakhstan), however the Kora river is located within the former Soviet country. Regardless, the species may be present in China too.

7. Pseudomalus pusillus (Fabricius, 1804)

Remarks.

Listed in China by Berland and Bernard (1938: 35, Shanxi: Nan-chan) and by Balthasar (1954) without any precise locality.

Conclusion

The current number of known Chinese chrysidid species and subspecies is 188 in total. We excluded some published yet doubtful data due to uncertain identifications. Overall, the Chinese chrysidid fauna is still poorly known, comparing with the fauna of the adjacent countries both in the Palearctic Region (e.g. Korea, Mongolia, Far East Russia, Tajikistan) and the Oriental Region (e.g. Burma, Vietnam). We expect a higher number of taxa for China as results of its geographical position, climatic condition and topographical structure.
