Description

Lasiochalcidia Masi, 1929 (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae) is one of the rarest chalcid genera to have been recorded from the world. Association with antlions and the peculiar mode of oviposition makes the genus more interesting. Here we describe and illustrate a new species of Lasiochalcidia Masi with a key to Oriental species.
