Abstract

Liopterids (Hymenoptera: Liopteridae) are key parasitoids of wood-boring forest pests, such as jewel beetles (Buprestidae), longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) and horntails (Siricidae). In this paper, four species of Paramblynotus Cameron, 1908 are reported from China for the first time, namely P. atratus Liu & Kovalev, 2007, P. marginatus Liu & Kovalev, 2007, P. pausatus Liu & Kovalev, 2007 and P. scaber Belizin, 1951. Distributional data and an updated key to the Chinese members of the P. scaber species-group are provided, which increase the known of Chinese liopterids fauna and supply a foundation for future biocontrol studies.
