In this paper we present a key, molecular data (standard DNA barcode, CO1) and images of the two species of
The genus
All specimens in the collections at the Swedish Museum of Natural History were collected with Malaise Traps. Five specimens of
The genus
Precoxal sulcus absent. Notauli shallow and almost smooth. Marginal cell of fore wing distinctly shortened; metacarpus 0.9 times as long as pterostigma. Propodeum without transverse carina. Frons almost entirely sculptured. Body length 2.4–4.2 mm.
Oriental (China, Taiwan).
Holotype: ♀, Taiwan, “C. Taiwan: Tsuifeng, 2300 m, Nantou Hsien, V.1984, K.S. Lin & K.C. Chou, Malaise trap” (TARI).
Antenna with 30-33 segments, clypeus smoothly continuing from face, rather densely setose. Hind coxa with only slightly protruding denticle apico-ventrally, second metasomal sternite without denticles, if with denticles then on 4th sternite, metasoma ventrally dense setose, first metasomal tergite only slightly longer than its apically width.
Eastern Palaearctic, Western Palaearctic, Oriental and Nearctic.
Antenna with 30 segments, clypeus distinctly differentiated from face and sparsely setose. Hind coxa with a thumb-like denticle apico-ventrally, second metasomal sternite with two distinctly protruding denticles, metasoma ventrally sparse setose, first metasomal tergite as broad apically as long.
Eastern Palaearctic and Western Palaearctic.
