New genus Zhijilingia Xu, Liu et He, gen. n. (type species: Zhijilingia tettigonia Xu, Liu et He, sp. n.) is described from Sichuan, South China. This new genus can be distinguished from other genera of Tetrastichinae by following characters: antenna with 3 anelli and 4 funicular segments, only one clava segment, all funicular segments slender and longer than broad, funicular segments almost same in length, mesoscutum without a median line, propodeum with a distinct median carina, the whole rim of propodeal spiracle exposed, postmarginal vein absent. The new species probably parasitize eggs of the katydids Prohimerta dispar (Bey-Bienko, 1951) (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
