First Record of Caloapenesia (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae) from China with Description of One New Species
The genus <i>Caloapenesia</i>, only known from the Oriental region, comprises nineteen species, seventeen of which are recorded from Thailand and the Philippines, countries adjacent to China. During our examination of bethylid specimens from southern China, we discovered <i>Caloapenesia xui</i> sp. nov. from Guangdong Province, representing the northernmost record for the genus. The new species is described and illustrated, and an updated key to the males of <i>Caloapenesia</i> is provided.
