Type species: Leucospis dorsigera Fabricius, 1775, by monotypy. Leucospis Fabricius: Habu 1962 : 169; Bouček 1974a : 28; Narendran 1986 : 43; Madl and Schwarz 2012 : 1222. Diagnosis. Clypeus with lower margin often emarginated and with a small median tooth; mandible bare at apex, always with strong lower tooth; maxillary and labial palpi 4 and 3 segments, respectively; OOL distinctly longer than POD; scutellum without cross-carina; dorsellum usually transverse, often carinate posteriorly, sometimes bidentate; propodeum often with median carina; hind coxa enlarged, sometimes with dorsal tooth or dorsal lobe; hind femur with basal ventral tooth often located before middle; hind tibia with outer spur always shorter than inner spur, frequently apex of hind tibia ventrally produced into a spine; female with T6 distinctly separated from epipygium and ovipositor curved upward; male with T2 always transverse ( Bouček 1974a ; Grissell and Schauff 1997 ). Biology. Ectoparasitoids of solitary aculeate Hymenoptera , mostly bees ( Bouček 1974a ; Schmid-Egger 2010 ). Distribution. Cosmopolitan ( Madl and Schwarz 2012 , 2014 ; Noyes 2016 ). Valid species. The genus contains 123 valid species, of which 119 are assigned to sixteen species groups ( Bouček 1974a , 1974b ; Habu 1977 ; Bouček and Narendran 1981 ; Naumann 1981 ; Engel 2002 ; Grissell and Cameron 2002 ; Pauly et al. 2003 ; Nagase 2007 ; Darling and Cardinal 2005 ; Pujade-Villar and Caicedo 2010 ; Schmid-Egger 2010 ; Genaro 2012 ; Noyes 2016 ). In this paper, twelve species are reported from China, including two species new to science and one new for China. The checklists and known distribution of Leucospis spp. in China are given in Table 1. Table 1. Revised checklist and known distribution of Leucospis species in China. An asterisk indicates a new record.
