Eupelmus iris Fusu & Gibson 2016

4.1 Eupelmus iris Fusu & Gibson, 2016, n. rec. Fig. 8 Eupelmus (Eupelmus) iris Fusu & Gibson, 2016: 127–131. Material examined. CHINA: 1♀, Goudunping, Fujian Tianbaoyan National Natural Reserve, Sanming City, Fujian Province, 9 October 2020, Malaise trap, DNA 848 (FAFU). Distribution. * China (* Fujian), Japan. Remarks. Females of E. iris resemble those of E. tachardiae (Howard) and E. xenium Fusu & Gibson, but females of both of the latter two species have a vertexal carina, which is absent from E. iris females (Fig. 8C). Additionally, as described by Gibson & Fusu (2016), our specimen has quite a dark scape with a metallic luster, though noticeably lighter orangey-brown mediolongitudinally on the inner surface (Fig. 8D,E). In contrast, the scape of E. xenium is entirely yellow or extensively pale.
