FE17F410FFBCFFDEFF03F92526C0F811.taxon	discussion	Comments. In situations where the mid tarsi have the last two segments partly fused, but indicated either by a transverse suture or a distinct constriction, most (if not all) authors usually regarded the tarsi as 4 - segmented. This includes Hill (1970) for E. africana (in his fig. 6), Polaszek et al. (2004) for E. dispersa (in their fig. 9 B), Myartseva (2007) for E. flaviceps (in his fig. 13), Myartseva & Evans (2008) for E. florena (in their fig. 128), and Myartseva et al. (2012) for E. xilitla (in their fig. 3). Females of E. dianensis also have the last two tarsal segments of the mid leg partly fused and indicated by a transverse suture (Figs 5, 6, 7), so we regarded it as 4 - segmented.	en	Geng, Hui, Li, Cheng-De (2016): Five new species of genus Encarsia Förster from China (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae).

FE17F410FFBCFFDEFF03F92526C0F811.taxon	description	If E. dianensis is regarded as having 5 - segmented mid tarsi, it could be related to E. flavescens Huang & Polaszek because of having similar body color, fore wing with a bare strip along the wing margin beginning from stigmal vein and ending at about distal end of retinaculum and similar numbers of setae on the mid and side lobes of the mesoscutum, but can be distinguished from the latter by: marginal fringe of fore wing long, 0.77 – 0.97 × as long as disc width (vs 0.47 ×); placoid sensilla on scutellum separated by 7 × maximum width of a sensillum (vs 3 – 4 ×); ovipositor very short, 0.45 – 0.55 × as long as mid tibia and basitarsus combined (vs 1.07 ×).	en	Geng, Hui, Li, Cheng-De (2016): Five new species of genus Encarsia Förster from China (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae).

FE17F410FFB8FFDDFF03FF6E2398FF5E.taxon	discussion	Comments. Mid tarsal structure of E. hayati is similar to that of the foregoing new species (see also comments under E. dianensis). Placement to species-group of this new species is uncertain. Among the species with a 5: 4: 5 tarsal formula and fore wing with a clear asetose area around the stigmal vein (meghalayana - and cubensis - group), E. hayati is unique by having a completely yellow body, and narrowly separated placoid sensilla on the scutellum. This species is closely related to E. dianensis based on similar structures of the mid tarsi, body color, and shape and characters of the fore wing, but can be separated from the latter by the differences given in the key and the comments under E. dianensis.	en	Geng, Hui, Li, Cheng-De (2016): Five new species of genus Encarsia Förster from China (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae).

FE17F410FFBAFFD3FF03FEB52748FD01.taxon	discussion	Comments. Encarsia biseta may be related to species of the E. parvella- group, sensu Hayat (1989, 1998) and defined by Polaszek & Gill (2011), in having all tarsi 5 - segmented, fore wing with a clear asetose area around the stigmal vein, marginal fringe of the fore wing relatively long, and antennal clava 2 - segmented, but can be separated from all the species of the group by having only 2 setae on the mid lobe of the mesoscutum, each side lobe of the mesoscutum with only 1 seta, and relatively longer marginal fringe of the fore wing. The holotype of E. biseta does not run to any species in the key to the oriental species of Encarsia by Hayat (1989), but runs to the citrina - group in both the key to Chinese species by Huang & Polaszek (1998) and the key to Indian species by Hayat (2012). It differs from all the species of the E. citrina - group by having 2 - segmented antennae, smooth petiole, and only 2 setae on the mid lobe of the mesoscutum. Two species of the E. longifasciata - group, E. longifasciata and E. dewa also have 2 setae on the mid lobe of the mesoscutum, but E. biseta lacks the characters of this species group, the clypeus without 2 median teeth, mandible not tridentate, and third valvulae of ovipositor with no concave externally, nor truncate apically.	en	Geng, Hui, Li, Cheng-De (2016): Five new species of genus Encarsia Förster from China (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae).

FE17F410FFB4FFD1FF03FD08202BFD2C.taxon	discussion	Comments. This new species is placed in the E. citrina- group (Viggiani & Mazzone 1979; Hayat 1989) based on the shape of the fore wing, longer marginal fringe, presence of an asetose area around the stigmal vein, mid lobe of mesoscutum with 4 setae, petiole with fine sculpture, submarginal vein with 2 setae, and mid tarsi 5 - segmented, but differs from all the other species of this group (citrina, lounsburyi, curtifuniculata, gracilens,? flava,? fusca,? latipennis) mainly by the narrowly separated placoid sensilla on the scutellum, and entirely pale yellow body.

This new species is placed in the E. parvella- group as defined by Polaszek & Gill (2011), except for the host being unknown, in having all tarsi 5 - segmented, fore wing with an asetose area around the stigmal vein, marginal fringe of the fore wing not longer than the wing width, and each side lobe of the mesoscutum with 2 setae. However, it is easily separated from all the species of the group by the following combination of characters: only 2 setae on the mid lobe of the mesoscutum, relatively densely setose fore wing disc, laterally sculptured petiole, and relatively short third valvula (less than 0.5 × second valvifer).	en	Geng, Hui, Li, Cheng-De (2016): Five new species of genus Encarsia Förster from China (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae).
