Distribution China (Fujian, Guangdong, Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang), North Korea. Remarks The holotype of P. bellula from North Korea (Gang-von) was examined by using the original description, a photo of the holotype and additional Chinese specimens examined. There are thirty-eight females agreeing with the description of P. bellula except for the propodeum colouration (some females totally orange-brown vs only posteriorly orange-brown for the types). The holotype of P. rugifrontata from China was not available and the interpretation is based on the original description. Phanerotomella rugifrontata is treated as a junior synonym of P. bellula Papp, 1989 based on the following key characters: (1) vein m-cu postfurcal; (2) second submarginal cell sessile (the latter’s vein 2-SR weakly developed); (3) antenna rather slender, with 57 segments and all antennal segments longer than wide; (4) length of eye in dorsal view equal to that of temple; (5) frons transversely rugulose, temple densely punctate, mesopleuron punctate (the latter’s punctate-reticulate) and mesoscutum honeycomb sculptured except medio-posteriorly rugose; (6) metasomal carapace elliptical, 1.6 × as long as maximum width; (7) vein 1-R1 longer than pterostigma.
