Host

Unknown.

Distribution

China ( Taiwan, Zhejiang, Hainan), Vietnam.

Remarks

The holotype from Vietnam (Saigon) was examined by Zettel (1989) and our interpretation is based on the description by Zettel (1989), additional Chinese specimens listed above and the original description. The seven females examined agree with the description of P. barbieri except for body length (2.2– 3.1 mm vs 2.1–2.4 mm for the types) and the antennal segment number (35 and 32 vs 31 for the types). The two males examined agree with the description of P. barbieri .
