Four new species of Diglyphomorphomyia Girault, D. depressa sp. nov., D. fossa sp. nov., D. hainana sp. nov., and D. octoseta sp. nov., are described from China. A key to the eight species of the genus Diglyphomorphomyia occurring in China is provided.
Chalcidoidea, Eulophinae, parasitoid, taxonomy
The genus Diglyphomorphomyia (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) is one of several small genera of the Eulophidae, erected by
This study describes four new species of the genus Diglyphomorphomyia and provides a key to all species of the genus distributed in China.
All specimens were collected by sweeping or yellow-pan trapping, and were dissected and mounted in Canada balsam on slides following the method of
Terminology follows the
F1–6 flagellomeres 1–6;
MV marginal vein;
OOL minimum distance between a posterior ocellus and corresponding eye margin;
PMV postmarginal vein;
POL minimum distance between posterior ocelli;
SMV submarginal vein;
STV stigmal vein.
All type material is deposited in the insect collections at Northeast Forestry University (NEFU), Harbin, China.
Diglyphomorphomyia can be recognized by the following combination of characteristics: funicle 4 or 5 segmented; midlobe of mesoscutum or scutellum with deep punctures or pits; midlobe of mesoscutum with two or three, rarely four, pairs of setae; scutellum with sublateral grooves very distinct, punctate on bottom; propodeum with anterior margin raised into a perpendicular lamina, median carina and plicae distinct; transverse carina lateral to plicae distinct behind propodeal spiracle; gaster subsessile or short-petiolate.
Head in frontal view a little wider than its height; Antenna with six flagellomeres, including a 2-segmented clava; antenna inserted above level of lower eye margin, scape not reaching level of anterior ocellus. Eyes with short setae. Malar sulcus present. Pronotum without transverse carina, weakly reticulate, posterior margin with numerous setae and six long setae. Scutellum punctate. Dorsellum with engraved reticulation, meshes isodiametric. Propodeum smooth, with median carina and plicae, a transverse carina running from posterior part of each plica to outer margins of propodeum. Gaster subsessile.

The specific name is derived from the type locality.
Diglyphomorphomyia hainana is similar to D. aequus Zhu & Huang, 2003 in sharing a body that is mostly yellow, and a gaster bearing a brown patch, but can be separated from D. aequus by the following combination of characters: antennae yellowish brown with scape yellow (antenna brown with scape, pedicel, and F1 yellow in D. aequus); POL 2.4× OOL (POL 2.8× OOL in D. aequus); legs mostly yellowish white with fore and hind coxae white, mid coxae yellow (legs yellow in D. aequus).

Latin: octo = eight; and refers to the midlobe of mesoscutum with four pairs of long setae.
Diglyphomorphomyia octoseta is similar to D. kairali Narendran & Girish Kumar in sharing a propodeum with a median carina bifurcating anteriorly and meeting a perpendicular lamina, but can be separated from the latter by the following combination of characters: fore wing hyaline without infuscation (fore wing with brown infuscation a short distance below STV in D. kairali); antenna with scape white, pedicel and F1–F3 pale yellow, clava brown except apex yellowish (antenna brownish black with scape and pedicel pale brownish yellow in D. kairali); midlobe of mesoscutum with four pairs of long setae (three pairs of long setae in D. kairali).
