Abstract

Five species of Copidosomopsis from China are reviewed, keyed and illustrated. One new species, Copidosomopsis orientalis Yu & Zhang sp. nov. is described, and C. bohemicus (Hoffer), C. meridionalis Kazmi & Hayat and C. nacoleiae (Eady) are newly recorded from China. Photomicrographs are provided to illustrate morphological characters of the species.
