The genus Aerophilus Szépligeti, 1902 (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Agathidinae) in China
Four Chinese species of <i>Aerophilus</i> Szépligeti, 1902 are recognised. Two new species, <i>A.brevicaudis</i> sp. nov. and <i>A.convexus</i> sp. nov., are described and illustrated. A species, <i>A.rufipes</i> (Nees, 1812), is recorded from China for the first time. A new synonym is proposed, <i>A.ebulus</i> (Nixon, 1950) with <i>A.romani</i> (Shestakov, 1940). A key to Chinese species of the genus <i>Aerophilus</i> is provided.
