Abstract

Seven species of the genus Oligosita, a well-known cosmopolitan genus of the family Trichogrammatidae that comprise egg parasitoids of coleopteran, hemipteran, lepidopteran and thysanopteran insects, are reviewed. Oligosita xinyangensis sp. nov. (Hymenoptera, Trichogrammatidae) is described in detail and illustrated; the male of O. nigroflagellaris Lin is reported for the first time. New distributional data are provided for O. japonica Yashiro, O. mediterranea Nowicki, O. pallida Kryger, O. polioptera Lin and O. shibuyae Ishii from China, and a key to all the Chinese species of the genus is given.
