Two new species of Dryinidae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) from China.

ABSTRACT Two new species, Fiorianteon isoneuron sp. nov and Anteon gaoligongense sp. nov, are described, respectively, from Xiaowutaishan Provincial Nature Reserve (Hebei Province, China) and Gaoligongshan National Nature Reserve (Yunnan Province, China). Fiorianteon isoneuron can be recognized from the related Palaearctic species F. junonium Olmi by the different shape of parameres (without a notch in dorsal view in F. junonium, with a deep notch in F. isoneuron) and stigmal vein (distal part much shorter than proximal part in F. junonium, about as long as in F. isoneuron). Anteon gaoligongense can be recognized from the related Oriental species A. indicum Olmi by the different shape of segment 5 of fore tarsus (with basal part much longer than distal part in A. indicum, slightly shorter than distal part in Anteon gaoligongense). Keys are provided for the determinations of the above species with illustrations of male genitalia and female chelae. Translation provided by the authors.

Two New Species of Dryinus Latreille (Hymenoptera: Dryinidae) from China

Abstract Two new species, Dryinus chenae and Dryinus expolitus, are described from Jianfengling National Nature Reserve (Hainan Province, China). Dryinus chenae can be recognized from the related Oriental species D. lini Olmi and D. lianus Xu, Olmi & He by the different OPL/TL ratio (OPL as long as TL in D. chenae, much shorter than TL in D. lini, much longer than TL in D. lianus). Dryinus expolitus can be recognized from the related Oriental species D. choui Olmi by the different sculpture (scutum granulated, with a few small areolae near the posterior margin in D. expolitus; almost completely reticulate rugose, with only the anterior surface of the median region granulated in D. choui) and color (pronotum black in D. expolitus, broadly testaceous in D. choui). Keys are provided for the determinations of the above species with illustrations of female chelae.
