Abstract

A new species of the stephanid genus Foenatopus Smith, Foenatopus weii sp. n., is described and illustrated from Yunnan Province, China. A modified section of the identification key to species of Foenatopus is added to include the new species. The male of Parastephanellus brevicoxalis Hong, van Achterberg & Xu, 2011 from Guangdong Province, China is also described and illustrated for the first time.

  • The family Stephanidae Leach, 1815 are a rare group of parasitoids (Hong et al 2011)

  • (Tan et al 2015) and two species of Pseudomegischus van Achterberg, 2002 (Tan et al 2015; Chen et al 2016) were subsequently reported from China, suggesting that the actual number of Stephanidae occurring in China is still underestimated
