Abstract
The present paper deals with two new species of the genus Ishigakia Uchida collected from Sichuan, Fujian and Hubei, China, A key to the 6 species distributed in China is given.The type specimens are preserved in the Institute of Zoology. Aeademia Sinica, except the paratype specimen of Ishigakia corpora which is preserved in the Tianjin Museum of Natural History.Ishigakia corpora, sp. nov.Female: Front wing 8.5 mm long.This species resembles Ishigakia, tertia Momoi and Ishigakia exetasea Uchida in color, but may be separated from the former by the temple of head in lateral view not bulging, epomia of pronotum absent, clypeus level and smooth, median transverse ridge not distinct; and from the latter species by the basal area of propodeum subsquarish, apical transverse carina not complete, areola irregular, the distance between intercubitus. and second recurrent vein about 2 times as long as the former.Holotype , allotype , Mt. Emei, Sichuan, 21 August 1957.Ishigakia nigra, sp. nov.Male: Front wing 10 mm long.This species is related to Ishigakia alecto Morley in color, but it is different from the latter by having hind legs all black or dark brownish, clypeus with puncta of different size and short pale hairs, basal area of propodeum square, areola and petiolar area confluent to form a large smooth area, median longitudinal carina strong at the base but indistinct in the middle part, ovipositor 2 times as long as hind tibia.Holotype , Chong'an County, Fujian, 23 June 1960; paratype , Lichuan County, Hubei, 28 July 1977.
