Abstract
Four new species of the genus Rhogadopsis Brèthes, 1913 (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Opiinae) are reported from Shaanxi province (NW China). The new species (R. aciculifera sp. n., R. cracentata sp. n., R. longivena sp. n., and R. moniliata sp. n.) and two newly recorded species for Shaanxi and Ningxia provinces (R. mediocarinata (Fischer, 1963) and R. pratellae (Weng & Chen, 2005), respectively) are keyed and fully illustrated. Rhogadopsis mediocarinata (Fischer, 1963) is a new combination.
Highlights
The large subfamily Opiinae (Braconidae), with nearly 2,000 valid species according to Yu et al (2012), is a common group containing generally small (2–5 mm) parasitoid wasps of mainly mining or fruit-infesting dipterous larvae
Despite the general scope of the latter review there have been no species of Rhogadopsis found in NW China
Recent collecting in Shaanxi and Ningxia resulted in a large collection of Opiinae and included several species of Rhogadopsis
Summary
The large subfamily Opiinae (Braconidae), with nearly 2,000 valid species according to Yu et al (2012), is a common group containing generally small (2–5 mm) parasitoid wasps of mainly mining or fruit-infesting dipterous larvae.
