Abstract

WT5”BZ]Two new species of Encyrtidae,collected from Fuxin,Liaoning of China,i.e. Leptomastidea longicauda Xu, sp. n. and Dinocarsiella quinqueguttata Xu, sp. n., are described in detail. One of them, Dinocarsiella Mercet is first recorded in China. A key to distinguish Leptomastidea longicauda Xu, sp. n. from Leptomastidea abnormis (Girault), another species reported from China,is given. 1. Leptomastidea longicauda Xu, sp. n. Host: unknown. Distribution: Liaoning(Fuxin). Specimen examined: holotype ♀, Fuxin(42°0′N, 121°36′E),Liaoning, 1994 7 27, LOU Juxian, C9506 6; paratype 1♂, same data as holotype. Diagnosis: this new species is similar to Leptomastidea rubra Tachikawa, 1956, but can be distinguished by the following combined characters: (1) first second funicular segments clearly black, the latter only first funicular segment clearly black; (2) gaster much longer than thorax, the latter with gaster shorter than thorax;(3) ovipositor much exserted, the latter with ovipositor not exserted. 2. Dinocarsiella quinqueguttata Xu, sp. n. Host: unknown. Distribution: Liaoning(Fuxin). Specimen examined: holotype ♀, Fuxin(42°0′N, 121°36′E), Liaoning, 1994 7 24, LOU Juxian, C9506 5. Diagnosis: This species is similar with Dinocarsiella zebrata Mercet, 1921 but can be distinguished from the latter by (1) head black, with white maculation, the latter with yellow maculation;(2) antennal scape whole black, the latter with yellow maculation;(3) fore wing with apical margin hyaline, the latter with apical margin infuscate.
