Diagnosis

First discal cell anteriorly comparatively narrow, because of nearly straight vein 1-M and smaller parastigma ( Fig. 24F ); five subapical segments of female antenna moniliform ( Fig. 24E ), penultimate segment 1.5× as long as wide; vein cu-a of fore wing 0.5 × as long as vein 1-CU1; propodeum coarsely reticulate-rugose ( Fig. 24G ), and latero-posteriorly tuberculate; OOL 4.0-4.8 × as long as maximum diameter of posterior ocellus ( Fig. 24B ).

Hosts

Conogethes punctiferalis (Guenée, 1854) ( Crambidae ), Diaphania pyloalis (Walker, 1859) ( Pyralidae ), Haritalodes derogata (Fabricius, 1775) ( Crambidae ).

Distribution

Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, China (Anhui, Fujian, Shaanxi, Shandong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guangxi Zhuangzu Zizhiqu, Hainan, Yunnan).

Remarks

Zettel (1990) synonymised P. philippinensis Ashmead, 1904 , with P. orientalis , but this synonymy is not accepted here because the holotype has a distinct lateral propodeal tubercle (absent in P. orientalis ), the 10 th antennal segment of the female is as long as wide (longer than wide in P. orientalis ) and the hypopygium is without a distinct triangular prolongation (with short triangular prolongation in P. orientalis ).

Phanerotoma flavida Enderlein, 1912 , is a new synonym of P. orientalis Szépligeti, 1900 , based on photos of the lectotype of P. flavida kindly supplied by Mr Andrew Liston (Senckenberg Deutsches Entomologisches Institut, Müncheberg, Germany) and of the lectotype of P. orientalis supplied by Dr Zoltán Vas (Hungarian Museum of Natural History, Budapest, Hungary). Zettel (1990) used only one variable character for their separation (vein 3-SR of fore wing less than 3.5× as long as vein r in P. flavida [= vein r more than 0.25 × vein 3-SR] and at least 4.0× as long as vein r in P. orientalis [= vein r at most 0.25 × vein 3-SR]), which is obviously insufficient to separate very similar species.
