Three new species of Carinostigmus Tsuneki from the Oriental Region of China are described: Carinostigmus frontirugatus Bashir & Ma, sp. nov., C. latidentatus Bashir & Ma, sp. nov., and C. vesulcatus Bashir & Ma, sp. nov. In addition, ten species are reported, of which Carinostigmus palawanensis (Tsuneki) is recorded in China for the first time. A key to known and new species of the genus Carinostigmus Tsuneki from China is provided.

Carinostigmus, first proposed by
The diagnostic characteristics that differentiate Carinostigmus from other Pemphredonini genera are: mandible apically tridentate on females and bidentate on males; labrum with different shapes such as triangular, subtriangular, pentagonal or rounded; shallow scapal basin on face; lower frons with inter-antennal tubercle; dense silvery setae absent on clypeus; eyes broadly separated, converging below in male more than female; foveolate, broad or narrow grooves along orbits; occipital carina present, separated from hypostomal carina and complete to midventral line of head; notaulus and omaulus present; episternal sulcus not definite except below omaulus; acetabular carina and subomaulus lacking; hypersternaulus foveolate; in female, foretarsus without a rake, hindtibia without a series of posterior spines; stigma large; two submarginal cells; hind wing submedian cell reduced, media diverging well beyond cu-a; petiole longer than twice its diameter; in female, pygidial plate present, oval or U-shaped (
Here we describe three new species from Fujian, Guizhou, Hainan, and Yunnan provinces; and one new record from Yunnan Province of China. A key to Chinese species of Carinostigmus is also provided.
Specimens were collected from Fujian, Guizhou, Hainan and Yunnan Provinces of China. Types and other specimens examined in this study are deposited in the following institutions: Insect Collections of Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming, Yunnan, China (YNAU); Parasitic Hymenoptera Collection of Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China (
Specimens were observed with the help of an Olympus stereomicroscope (SZ Series) with an ocular micrometer. The photographs were taken with VHX-5000 and edited by using Adobe Photoshop 8.0. For the terminology we mainly followed
