In this study, we explore the biological resources of Eunotidae, Herbertiidae, Pteromalidae and Eulophidae in the Altun Mountain Nature Reserve, Xinjiang, China. Sixty-one species are listed and we described ten new species, including Eunotus caeruleus Kang & Hu, sp. nov. and Eunotus argenteus Kang & Hu, sp. nov. of Eunotidae, Herbertia altunensis Kang & Hu, sp. nov. of Herbertiidae, Thinodytes splendens Kang & Hu, sp. nov., Erdoesina maculata Kang & Hu, sp. nov., Homoporus flavus Kang & Hu, sp. nov. and Stenomalina viridis Kang & Hu, sp. nov. of Pteromalidae and two new species Diaulinopsis altunensis Kang & Hu, sp. nov. and Hyssopus altunensis Kang & Hu, sp. nov. of Eulophidae. Detailed illustrations of all new species are included to support identification and further study.
