A Study of Chinese Cirrospilus Westwood (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae)
Chao-Dong Zhu, John LaSalle and Da-Wei Huang (2002) This paper treats Chinese species of Cirrospilus Westwood. Twenty valid species are recognized, and a key to species is provided. Six species were previously known from China: C. ambiguus Hansson and LaSalle, C. ingenuus Gahan, C. jiangxiensis Sheng and Wang, C. phyllocnistis (Ishii), C. pictus (Nees), and C. tricuspidatus Sheng. Four species are newly recorded from China: C. diallus Walker, C. elegantissimus Westwood, C. variegatus (Masi), and C. vittatus Walker. Ten new species are described and compared with related species: C. brevis, C. centralis, C. dispersus, C. divergens, C. insculptus, C. nigrifemur, C. perticus, C. striatus, C. submedialis, and C. transrugosus. Two new synonyms, C. huangyaensis Sheng and C. nigriscutellaris Sheng and Wang have been proposed under C. pictus (Nees). New hosts and distributional records are provided.
