Notes on the genus Dendrocerus Ratzeburg (Hymenoptera, Megaspilidae) from China, with description of two new species

Abstract

Species of the genus Dendrocerus Ratzeburg, 1852 (Hymenoptera: Megaspilidae) from China were studied. Six species are recorded, of which two known species, D. carpenteri (Curtis, 1829) and D. laticeps (Hedicke, 1929) are re-described; and two species are described as new to science, D. anisodontus Wang, Chen and Mikó sp. nov. and D. bellus Wang, Chen and Mikó sp. nov.. Sequences of the 28S rDNA were generated to associate both sexes of the same species.
