Key to species of the genus Taiwanhormius

1. Parallel vein (CU1a) of fore wing not interstitial to cubital vein (2-CU1), arising from anterior third of the vein (3-CU1) closed brachial (subdiscal) cell distally. Antenna with 23 antennomeres.—POL equal to OD. Ovipositor sheath about 0.7 × as long as metasoma. Body length 2.3 mm.— China (Taiwan) .................................. T. affinis Belokobylskij, 1988

- Parallel vein (CU1a) of fore wing interstitial to cubital vein (2-CU1) ( Figs 2A ; 4A ). Antenna with 17–19 antennomeres ( Figs 1A ; 3A ) ............................................................................................ 2

2. Malar space 1.5 × larger than basal width of mandible ( Fig. 3B ). Prescutellar depression almost entirely smooth ( Fig. 3G ). Brachial (subdiscal) cell of fore wing distally closed on level of recurrent vein (m-cu) or rarely weakly before it ( Fig. 4A ). Nervulus (cu-a) of fore wing distinctly postfurcal to basal vein (1-M). First metasomal tergite weakly rugulose-granulate ( Fig. 4B ). Body length 1.5–1.9 mm.— China (Taiwan), Japan.......................... T. granulosus Belokobylskij, 1988

- Malar space almost equal to or only weakly larger than basal width of mandible ( Fig. 1B ). Prescutellar depression rugulose ( Fig. 1F ). Brachial (subdiscal) cell of fore wing distally closed distinctly before recurrent vein (m-cu) ( Fig. 2A ). Nervulus (cu-a) of fore wing subinterstitial to basal vein (1-M) or sometimes even weakly antefurcal. First metasomal tergite entirely coarsely rugulose-reticulate and without granulation ( Figs 1F ; 2B ). Body length 1.3–1.8 mm.— South Korea.................................................................................................. T. austrokoreanus sp. nov.
