Metaphycus liaoi sp. nov. is similar to M. stagnarum. In females of Metaphycus liaoi, the maximum width of antennal scape is located in basal half; ovipositor clearly longer than mid tibia. In males of M. liaoi, F1 is clearly shorter than pedicel; antennal scape clearly flattened and expanded, about 3 x as long as broad. The specimens including the holotype are deposited in Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing （IZCAS）.展开更多
