Abstract

A new species, Pseudocyanopterus pagiophloeusis Samartsev & Li, sp. nov., is described from Shanghai, China. Illustrated diagnoses to distinguish the new species from its closest relative and the members of related genera are presented. New combinations are proposed for five species previously considered in the genus Cyanopterus Haliday, 1835, Bracomorpha hinoemataensis (Belokobylskij, 2000), comb. nov., B. kusarensis (Abdinbekova, 1973), comb. nov., B. praecinctus (Shestakov, 1936), comb. nov., Parallobracon oriens (Belokobylskij, 2000), comb. nov., and P. tzymbali (Belokobylskij, 2000), comb. nov.
