Abstract

Six species of Coccophagus (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) from China are reviewed, including three new species, C. breviscapus sp. nov., C. distinctus sp. nov., C. tenebrisetus sp. nov., and two species newly recorded from China, C. insidiator (Dalman) and C. lutescens Compere. Coccophagus japonicus Compere is newly recorded from Liaoning Province and is described in detail. A key to Chinese species of Coccophagus based on females is given.
