Rhadinoscelidia is known by four species from Hainan Island (China), Thailand, Laos, West Java (Indonesia), and peninsular Malaysia (Kojima and Ubaidillah 2003; Liu et al 2011; Kimsey 2018)
The genus is similar to Loboscelidia in some morphological characters; Rhadinoscelidia can be distinguished from Loboscelidia by the following characters: cervical expansion separated from upper gena with reduced patches of ribbon-like setae, reduced wing venation of the forewing, and Copyright Yu Hisasue,Toshiharu Mita
Summary
Loboscelidiinae are rare and morphologically peculiar chrysidid wasps. The subfamily contains two genera, Loboscelidia Westwood, 1874 and Rhadinoscelidia Kimsey, 1988. The genus is similar to Loboscelidia in some morphological characters; Rhadinoscelidia can be distinguished from Loboscelidia by the following characters: cervical expansion separated from upper gena with reduced patches of ribbon-like setae, reduced wing venation of the forewing, and Copyright Yu Hisasue,Toshiharu Mita. We describe it as a new species of Rhadinoscelidia and provide a key to known species, and a brief discussion on the life history, of the genus
