It is a solitary endo-parasitoid in egg of the spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula （White） （Homoptera： Fulgoridae）, which causes damages to many ornamental and fruit trees in China. The brief biology of the new parasitoid is also mentioned. The new species has high potential as a biocontrol agent for suppression of the pest because of its parasitism rates of egg masses 30.4% and of eggs 40.2% respectively with sex ratio of female to male 1.9：1.0, as well as the relative easiness for mass rearing. The detailed feature characters and photos of the new species are supplied. Meanwhile, a key to distinguish the present new species from the other close two （A. japonicus and A. bifasciatus） in the genus is provided. Type specimens are deposited in the Insect Museum, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Beijing, China.展开更多

Among them, P. stenopterus sp. nov., which is reared as the hyperparasitoid of Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley （Hemiptera： Pseudococcidae）, an invasive mealybug to China, is reported as new to science. A key of the genus is provided for the recognition of the females of Chinese species. Notes on the parasitoid and hyperparasitoid of the mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis are provided.展开更多

[ Method] Field investigation and indoor rearing observation were adopted to figure out species and quantity of parasitoids of C. medinalis in Nanning in 2011 -2013. [ Result] There are 19 parasitoid species of C. medinalis in Nanning, belonging to Ich- neamonoidea, Chalcidoidea. Of Ichneamonoidea, there are 11 species from Ichneumonidae and Braconidae. Of Chalcidoidea, there are 8 species from Chalcididae, Eulophidae, Elasmidae, Trichogrammatidae and Encyrtidae. Among these species, Stenomesius maculatus Liao and Apanteles cypris Nixon are dominant parasitoids in larval stage. In natural control conditions, S. maculatus Liao is most-widely distributed species with the most population, especially in the first half year, accounting for 89.7 % of the total parasitoid quantity ; in pesticide application field, the quantity of S. maculatus Liao accounts for 69.1% of the total parasitoid quantity, and in nonpesticide field, it accounts for 78.5%. [ Conclusion] Application of chemical pesticide has serious impact on the natural populations of parasitoids, therefore, chemical pesticides should be applied reasonably to ensure the survival of parasitoids.展开更多
