Description

Five new species of the Megaspilidae are described from Xizang (or Tibet, SW China): Conostigmus bomensis Wang & Zhu, sp. nov., Conostigmus jilongensis Wang & Zhu, sp. nov., Conostigmus shigatsensis Wang & Zhu, sp. nov., Conostigmus kairus Wang & Zhu, sp. nov., and Dendrocerus tumidulus Wang & Zhu, sp. nov. Lagynodes acuticornis (Kieffer, 1906), Conostigmus rufinotum Dodd, 1914, and Dendrocerus sergii Alekseev, 1994 are reported for the first time from China based on specimens collected from Xizang. A key to all known species of Chinese Megaspilidae is included.
