Taxonomic notes on the genus Aprostocetus Westwood (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae) from China, with the description of a new species

Fourteen species of <i>Aprostocetus</i> Westwood from China are reviewed, including one new species, <i>A. maculosus</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>, and new country records for four species: <i>A. viridinitens</i> Graham, 1987, <i>A. occidentalis</i> Graham, 1987, <i>A. ligus</i> (Walker, 1839) and <i>A. percaudatus</i> (Silvestri, 1920). New distributional data for <i>A. caudatus</i> Westwood, 1833, <i>A. epicharmus</i> (Walker, 1839), <i>A. gratus</i> (Giraud, 1863), <i>A. minimus</i> (Ratzeburg, 1848), <i>A. microcosmus</i> (Girault, 1917), <i>A. pinus</i> Li & Xu, 2014, <i>A. nigroplaque</i> Yang & Cao, 2015, <i>A. crino</i> (Walker, 1838), and <i>A. mandanis</i> (Walker, 1839) are provided. Keys to Chinese subgenera of the genus <i>Aprostocetus</i> and Chinese species of the subgenera <i>Aprostocetus</i> and <i>Ootetrastichus</i> are given based on Chinese material.

Abstract

Fourteen species of <i>Aprostocetus</i> Westwood from China are reviewed, including one new species, <i>A. maculosus</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>, and new country records for four species: <i>A. viridinitens</i> Graham, 1987, <i>A. occidentalis</i> Graham, 1987, <i>A. ligus</i> (Walker, 1839) and <i>A. percaudatus</i> (Silvestri, 1920). New distributional data for <i>A. caudatus</i> Westwood, 1833, <i>A. epicharmus</i> (Walker, 1839), <i>A. gratus</i> (Giraud, 1863), <i>A. minimus</i> (Ratzeburg, 1848), <i>A. microcosmus</i> (Girault, 1917), <i>A. pinus</i> Li & Xu, 2014, <i>A. nigroplaque</i> Yang & Cao, 2015, <i>A. crino</i> (Walker, 1838), and <i>A. mandanis</i> (Walker, 1839) are provided. Keys to Chinese subgenera of the genus <i>Aprostocetus</i> and Chinese species of the subgenera <i>Aprostocetus</i> and <i>Ootetrastichus</i> are given based on Chinese material.
