Polynema (Polynema) Haliday (Hymenoptera, Mymaridae) of Xinjiang: descriptions of three new species, with eleven new records from China
Species of the nominate subgenus of <i>Polynema</i> Haliday (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China are reviewed. Three new taxa are described, P. (Polynema) breviscapus Wang & Aishan, <b>sp. nov.</b>, P. (Polynema) gongliuense Sharengaowa & Aishan, <b>sp. nov.</b>, and P. (Polynema) haloxyloniae Sharengaowa & Aishan, <b>sp. nov.</b> Eight species are newly recorded from China: P. (Polynema) antoniae (Soyka, 1950); P. (Polynema) atrosimile Soyka, 1956; P. (Polynema) bakkendorfi Hincks, 1950; P. (Polynema) bischoffi (Soyka, 1950); P. (Polynema) capillatum Soyka, 1956; P. (Polynema) elongatum Soyka, 1956; P. (Polynema) fumipenne Walker, 1846; and P. (Polynema) pusillum Haliday, 1833. Three additional species are tentatively identified: P. (Polynema) ? elegantissimum Soyka, 1956; P. (Polynema) ? gracile (Nees, 1834); and P. (Polynema) ? neofuscipes (Soyka, 1946). A key to the species of P. (Polynema) from Xinjiang, China is provided.
