9D5F87D2B23BFF92FDD3FCD5FE8D048E.taxon	discussion	Remarks The most important characters of females of this species are as follows: 1) profemur ventrally with a sharp tooth at apical quarter (Fig. 7) (not at apical third as stated in original description); 2) scrobal depression with scrobes shallow, lateral margin very weak dorsally (Fig. 5); 3) mesoscutum with less setae and with a different pattern (Fig. 4) than for A. shichengensis (Fig. 45), and with anterior convex part of medial lobe V-shaped; 4) posterior concave part of mesoscutum very short, only one-quarter the length of the scutellum (Fig. 4). The paratype originally had its left front leg, and the tooth of the profemur was clearly evident, but the leg was lost accidently when the first author examined the specimen. In the key of Kalina (1981), A. dexingensis keys out to A. splendens, but in A. splendens the posterior concave part of mesoscutum is as long as the scutellum (Nikol’skaya 1952), and the profemur is not toothed.	en	Peng, Lingfei, Tang, Lu, Gibson, Gary A.

9D5F87D2B23EFF9EFDE9FEAEFD4407AF.taxon	discussion	Notes Of the original type material, 18 specimens were found that resemble the original description and illustrations provided for A. flavipes. One labeled female in good condition, here considered to be the holotype, has two labels: “ Shangrao, Jiangxi Prov., host: egg of Dendrolimus kikuchii (Drury) ”, and “ 15 – 25 June 1984, YU Jingting ”. One labeled male in good condition, here considered to be the allotype, has two labels the same as the holotype. Other specimens considered as paratypes: 6 ♀♀, 4 ♂♂, Dexing (part of Shangrao City) or Shangrao, Jiangxi Prov., 15 – 25 June 1984, YU Jingting; 1 ♂, Yushan, Jiangxi Prov., 17 Nov. 1984, YU Jingting; 1 ♀, Liantang, Jiangxi Prov., early August 1955; 4 ♀♀, Xintai, Shandong Prov., July – August 1987, FAN Di. All the specimens from Heilongjiang Province were destroyed. The label dates of the 12 specimens from Dexing and Shangrao labeled by Sheng are in conflict with the published data. We suspect that 15 June is abbreviated for 15 – 25 June. Remarks Females of A. flavipes resemble those of A. fulloi, but the body is yellowish-brown (Fig. 9) rather than metallic green (Fig. 24); scrobal depression with lateral margin not distinct dorsally, but about 1.5 – 2.0 × diameter of ocellus from anterior ocellus (Fig. 12) rather than 0.8 – 1.10 × diameter of ocellus from anterior ocellus (Fig. 20); and fore wing with basal infuscate setose region about 2.2 × wider than hyaline cross-band (Fig. 10) rather than 3 × wider than hyaline cross-band behind MV (Fig. 23). Males differ from those of A. fulloi by the antennal clava being as long as the apical three funiculars, much shorter than the apical four funiculars (Figs 15, 18). In the key of Kalina (1981), females of A. flavipes key out to A. formosanus, but in A. formosanus the lateral margins of the scrobal depression reach the anterior ocellus, the frontovertex is as wide as an eye, and the anterior convex part of the medial lobe is 0.78 × the total length of the mesoscutum.	en	Peng, Lingfei, Tang, Lu, Gibson, Gary A.

9D5F87D2B231FF9BFDFAFAADFBA7048E.taxon	discussion	Notes Of the original type material, 16 specimens were found that resemble the original description and illustrations provided for A. fulloi. One female labeled with “ Anastatus fulloi ”, here considered to be the holotype, has another two labels: “ Meiling, Jiangxi Prov. host: Erthesina fullo (Thunberg) ”, and “ 5 July 1980, Sheng Jinkun ”. One male in good condition, here considered to be the allotype, has two labels: “ Mt. Wuyi, Jiangxi Prov. ” and “ 10 July 1980, SHENG Jinkun ”. Other specimens considered as paratypes: 1 ♀, Mt. Wuyi, Jiangxi Prov., 10 July 1980, SHENG Jinkun; 3 ♀♀, Meiling, Jiangxi Prov., 10 July 1980, SHENG Jinkun; 5 ♀♀, 1 ♂, Meiling, Jiangxi Prov., 5 July 1980, SHENG Jinkun; 2 ♀♀, Meiling, Jiangxi Prov., 19 July 1980, SHENG Jinkun; 1 ♀, Xinjian, Jiangxi Prov., 30 September 1991, ZHAO Fengxia. Associated with these specimens are five leaf-remnants with attached egg shells collected on 5 July 1980. All the specimens were in one box in mixed series; we did not find any specimen from Mt. Wuyi collected on 16 July 1980. The specimens from Mt. Wuyi have handwritten labels, but the specimens from Meiling have a printed locality label and a written date label. It seems Sheng incorrectly labeled the Meiling specimens because he could not be in two such widely distant places (Mt. Wuyi is more than 300 Km from Meiling) in one day (10 July 1980). We suspect that he collected the bug egg masses on 5 July 1980, and the eupelmids then emerged successively. Remarks Females most closely resemble A. flavipes and key out to A. formosanus using Kalina (1981), but can be differentiated by the features discussed under the latter species. Males have the clava as long as the apical four funiculars or longer (Fig. 25) whereas males of A. flavipes have the clava as long as apical three funiculars but much shorter than the apical four funiculars (Figs 15, 17).	en	Peng, Lingfei, Tang, Lu, Gibson, Gary A.

9D5F87D2B237FF86FDDCFC23FBA6048E.taxon	discussion	Notes Of the original type material, only four unlabeled females were found that resemble the original description and illustration provided for A. meilingensis. One complete female is here interpreted as holotype of the species. A second female lacks the funicle and clava of both antennae, and left front leg and right metatarsi. The third female lacks the right protarsi, and the fourth female lacks its left antenna, right funicle and clava, and right mesotarsus. Remarks Females of this species resemble those of A. huangi, but are differentiated by the following characters: fore wing much shorter, extending only slightly over middle of Mt 2 compared to middle of gaster for A. huangi (cf. Figs 32, 34); fore wing disc with apical one-third densely setose with yellowish-brown setae, without hyaline cross-band compared to fore wing disc of A. huangi with thinner brownish setae, and has a tapered hyaline cross-band behind marginal vein; anterior convex medial lobe rhomboidal compared to triangular for A. huangi with (cf. Figs 31, 38); hind leg with basitarsus as long as following three tarsomeres compared to following four tarsomeres in A. huangi (cf. Figs 33, 36). In the key of Kalina (1981), A. meilingensis keys out to A. gastropachae, which is a brachypterous form of A. bifasciatus (Geoffroy, 1785) based on the rearings and synonym of Ishii (1938). The original description of A. gastropachae (Ashmead 1904) states that the fore wings are “ fuscous, with a transverse band at base and [within] apical third hyaline ”, whereas A. meilingensis has the basal two-thirds hyaline and the apical one-third with yellowish-brown setae, which is similar to the fore wing color pattern of A. meilingensis females. Females of A. gastropachae determined in 2015 by L. Fusu in the Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids & Nematodes (Ottawa) were examined by the senior author. Females have the medial lobe of mesoscutum triangular, the gaster longer than the mesosoma, and the scrobal depression distinctly delimited dorsally compared to A. gastropachae.	en	Peng, Lingfei, Tang, Lu, Gibson, Gary A.

9D5F87D2B22AFF84FDC6FEAEFA9E05A2.taxon	discussion	Notes Of the original type material, five females and two leaf-remnants with attached egg shells were found, all with labels by Sheng. One female labeled with “ species name: Anastatus papillosae sp. nov. designated by Sheng Jinkun ”, here considered to be the holotype, has another two labels: “ Shicheng, Jiangxi Prov., host: Tessaratoma papillosa ” and “ 1979, Collector: ”. Another four females have the same collection label as the holotype. The holotype lacks both flagella. Of the paratypes, two are intact; one has lost both flagella, the middle legs, the left hind leg and right metatibia; one has only the head, left antenna, a broken right fore wing, as well as one middle and one hind leg remaining. The published data for this species gives the date of collection as 1989, but the labels on the specimens have the printed year as “ 198 _ ”, and a written date “ 79 ”, with “ 7 ” covering the number “ 8 ”. Consequently, we suspect these specimens were collected in 1979, but that Sheng made a mistake with the published date. Remarks The most important differential characters of females are as follow: 1) profemur ventrally bearing a blunt tooth at apical quarter (Fig. 47); 2) anterior convex part of medial lobe U-shaped (Fig. 45); 3) posterior concave part of medial lobe with setae in two radial patterns (Fig. 45); 4) anellus wider than long, and 8 th flagellomere longer than wide; 5) SMV 1.3 × as long as MV. Females most closely resemble those of A. dexingensis, but A. dexingensis has a sharp profemural tooth (cf. Figs 7, 47) and the anterior convex part of medial lobe is V-shaped (cf. Figs 4, 45). Using Kalina (1981), A. shichengensis keys out to A. splendens, but differs from the latter species in the same features given under remarks for A. dexingensis.	en	Peng, Lingfei, Tang, Lu, Gibson, Gary A.
