Head nearly square (Fig. 2 J); third antennal segment nearly as long as fourth segment, scapus apically oblique, ventrally shorter than dorsally (Fig. 2 H); eyes glabrous; clypeus semi-circular and medium-sized (Fig. 2 I); mandible considerably protruding beyond condylus ventro-basally (Fig. 2 K), first tooth right angled and forming a wide gap with middle tooth (Fig. 2 I), middle tooth acute, much longer than both lateral teeth and with an extra fourth tooth dorsally, tooth small and lobe-shaped (Figs 2 I, 2L, 3A), an oblique diagonal ridge extend from third tooth to upper basal corner of mandible (Fig. 2 I); pronope round and large; metanotum acutely protruding dorsally (Fig. 2 C); vein 3-SR of fore wing subequal to 2-SR (Fig. 2 A), vein CU1b of fore wing long, CU1a at same level as 2-CU1, pterostigma elongated and basal part subparallel-sided, vein r issued from apical quarter of pterostigma (Figs 1, 2 A); vein M+CU of hind wing much shorter than vein 1-M (Fig. 2 B); marginal cell of hind wing narrow; precoxal sulcus complete, crenulate and transverse (Fig. 2 C); lobes of mesoscutum similarly convex and smooth; surface of propodeum densely and coarsely reticulate-rugose, areola absent (Figs 2 D, 2F); metanotum acutely protruding dorsally (Fig. 2 C); dorsope absent, but position indicated by two superficial elongate depressions (Fig. 2 F); metasoma rather compressed, its second and following tergites smooth (Fig. 2 E); apex of ovipositor sheath rounded, without spine (Fig. 3 E).</p><p>Comparative diagnosis. The new genus runs in the key to world genera by Fischer (1974) to Phaenocarpa Foerster, 1863, or to Idiasta Foerster, 1863, and Hoplitalysia Ashmead 1900, because of the vein 3-SR of fore wing being nearly subequal to vein 2-SR and the metanotum acutely protruding dorsally. It differs as follows: the new genus has the dorsope absent (versus present in Phaenocarpa), head nearly square (vs distinctly transverse), middle tooth of mandible with extra protuberance (fourth tooth present, vs absent) and middle tooth much longer than lateral teeth (vs somewhat longer), and vein 3-SR of fore wing subequal to 2-SR (vs longer than vein 2-SR, rarely slightly so). The flat scutellum, the often protruding metanotum, the long oblique diagonal ridge of the mandible and the distinctly protruding ventro-basal corner of the mandible are also found in Idiasta . However, the new genus has the head nearly square in dorsal view (vs much wider than long in Idiasta), vein CU1b of fore wing long and CU1a at same level as 2-CU1 (vs CU1b medium-sized and CU1a far below level of 2-CU1), pterostigma elongated and basal part subparallel-sided (vs triangular) and vein M+CU of hind wing much shorter than vein 1-M (vs longer than vein 1-M). Differs from Hoplitalysia by its flat scutellum (vs conical in Hoplitalysia), pterostigma elongate (vs triangular), vein r emitted near apical quarter of pterostigma (vs slightly beyond middle), third antennal segment nearly as long as fourth segment (vs 0.7 ×), eyes glabrous (vs setose), notauli complete (vs absent on disc) and head nearly square in dorsal view (vs nearly twice wider than long). The nearly square head (both in dorsal and anterior view) is very rare in Alysiini and so far only known from Eudinostigma Tobias, 1986 (van Achterberg, 1988b) . Eudinostigma has head in dorsal view 1.6–2.4 × as wide as mesoscutum (vs 1.3 × in Dacnulysia), third antennal segment 1.1–1.2 × as long as fourth segment (vs slightly shorter in Dacnulysia), head in anterior view strongly transverse (vs slightly wider than high in Dacnulysia), vein r issued before middle of pterostigma (vs behind middle of pterostigma), dorsope normal (vs absent and position indicated by two superficial elongate depressions) and middle tooth somewhat longer than lateral teeth (vs much longer).</p><p>Etymology. Name is a combination of two generic names: Dacnusa Haliday and Alysia Latreille, because the new genus belongs to the Alysiini according to the venation but the shape of the body reminds of the Dacnusini. Gender: feminine.</p><p>Biology. Unknown.</p><p>Distribution. Oriental (China).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E8F55ADC59FFABFF58B89FF84DFC4E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

The large genus Phaenocarpa contains some aberrant groups, which for the moment are recognised as subgenera (Belokobylskij, 1998). Two former genera are re-instated as subgenus, because their type species possess also aberrant character-states: Kahlia Ashmead, 1900 (Nearctic), and Idiolexis Foerster, 1863 (Palaearctic), both because of aberrant venation of the hind wing. Idiolexis was synonymized with Phaenocarpa by Szépligeti (1904) and again by Wharton (2002). The type species has a different hind wing venation (vein M+CU about as long as vein 1-M and vein r faintly developed) and the first subdiscal cell of the fore wing is small. Kahlia was also synonymized with Phaenocarpa by Szépligeti (1904) and usually treated as such (e.g. Marsh, 1979; Braet, 2006). It was treated as subgenus by Papp (1967) but with a different diagnosis (antenna very long and with more than 50 segments) that may not fit the type species (the antenna are broken in the holotype). The type species has vein cu-a of the hind wing absent or largely so, and a short vein M+CU; it is only known from the male holotype and the future discovery of the female may change the status of the subgenus. In this paper we describe a new Oriental subgenus: Clistalysia nov., because of its highly aberrant morphology of the ovipositor, the different hind wing venation (vein M+CU about as long as vein 1-M) and the widened third antennal segment.</p><p>Biology. Large genus, containing koinobiont endoparasitoids of larvae of cyclorrhaphous Diptera in many niches (Wharton, 1984).</p><p>Distribution.

The new species has the vein emitted distinctly behind middle of pterostigma (versus submedially in P. laticellula), vein 1-CU1 of fore wing longer than vein cu-a (versus shorter than vein cu-a), first metasomal tergite dark brown (versus brownish yellow), antenna with more than 30 segments (versus 23-26 segments), hind wing and its marginal cell wide (versus narrow wing and marginal cell) and hind tibia dark brown except basally (versus yellow). In the key to the Oriental species by Papp (1967) it runs to P. flavipes (Haliday, 1838) . The new species has a deep incision between first and second teeth of the mandible (versus incision absent in P. flavipes), hind wing and its marginal cell wide (versus narrow wing and marginal cell) and hind tibia dark brown except its ivory base (versus yellow). In the key to the East Palaearctic species by Belokobylskij (1998), it runs to P. tiliae Tobias, 1986 . The new species differs by having vein r emitted distinctly behind middle of pterostigma (versus emitted near middle of pterostigma in P. tiliae), second submarginal cell of fore wing short and wide (versus long and comparatively narrow), first metasomal tergite about as long as wide apically (versus about 1.5 × longer), vein 1-CU1 of fore wing longer than vein cu-a (versus about subequal), ovipositor sheath 1.2 × as long as hind tibia (versus 1.7 ×) and first subdiscal cell of fore wing robust (versus slender).</p><p>Etymology. After “platys” (Greek for “wide, broad”) and “chora” (Greek for “room, space”) because of the wide marginal cell of the hind wing and the wide and short second submarginal cell of the fore wing.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03E8F55ADC5EFFA0FF58BAB1FF68FD26	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
