Descriptions of Two New Species of Encarsia (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) and Mitochondrial Genome Analysis of Three Species of the Genus †

Two new species of the genus <i>Encarsia</i> Förster (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae), <i>E. cinnamomi</i> Wang & Huang, <b>sp.n.</b> and <i>E. ophiopogonis</i> Wang & Huang, <b>sp.n.,</b> are described and illustrated from Fujian, China. The mitochondrial genomes of these two new species and <i>E. diaspidicola</i> are sequenced (14,049 bp, 14,746 bp and 14,849 bp, respectively), both showing a strong A + T bias (84.1%, 84.7% and 84.8% respectively). We infer the phylogenies of several <i>Encarsia</i> species of Aphelinidae and other family of Chalcidoidea based on PCG123 datasets using Bayesian inference (BI) and maximum likelihood (ML) methods. ML and BI analysis both support Aphelinidae formed a sister group to Torymidae.
