Type species: Paraphytis vittata , by monotypy. Synonymy under Marietta by Compere 1936 : 311; synonymy under Aphytis by DeBach and Rosen 1976 : 541; revived by Kim and Heraty 2012 : 544. Syediella Shafee, 1970: 144. Type species: Syediella maculata , by original designation. Synonymy under Aphytis by Hayat 1982 : 169 and under Paraphytis by Kim and Heraty 2012 : 544. Diagnosis. Species of Paraphytis can be recognized by the following combination of characters: antenna (Figs 3 , 15 ) with 6 or rarely 5 antennomeres; distinctly mottled forewings (Figs 6 , 18 ) and heavily pigmented body (Figs 1 , 11 ); mesopleuron convex, large and undivided; axilla with one seta (Figs 4 , 16 ); propodeum more than 2 x as long as metanotum and with crenulae on posterior margin (Figs 5 , 10 , 17 , 22 ); seta anterior to propodeal spiracle thin and not flattened as in Aphytis (Figs 4 , 16 ; cf. fig. 243 in Kim and Heraty 2012 ). Key to Chinese species (female) of Paraphytis Compere
1 Antenna with 5 antennomeres 2
- Antenna with 6 antennomeres 3
2 Clava with an incomplete transverse suture (cf. fig. 9B in Huang 1994 ) at about basal one third; dorsum of mesoscutum and mesoscutellum without dark longitudinal stripes; forewing mostly infuscate, with a hyaline crossband near apex (cf. fig. 9C in Huang 1994 ) P. densiciliatus (Huang)
- Clava without any sutures, dorsum of mesoscutum and mesoscutellum with 2 and 4 dark longitudinal stripes respectively (Figs 1 , 4 ); forewing with a brown band below apex of submarginal vein, and with a broad infuscated patch below stigmal vein, otherwise uniformly hyaline (Fig. 6 ) P. bannaensis sp. nov.
3 Body extensively pale yellow, with 4 dark longitudinal stripes (Figs 11 , 16 ) on dorsum of mesoscutum and mesoscutellum 4
- Body extensively yellow or dark; if yellow, then without any dark longitudinal stripes, at most with some dark patches (cf. fig. 11E in Huang 1994 ) 5
4 Mesoscutellum with submedian dark longitudinal stripes that do not merge with lateral stripes at posterior margin (Figs 11 , 16 ); forewing with delta area having "F" shaped pattern formed by dark and hyaline setae and dark membrane; forewing disc with pattern posterior to linea calva formed by a transparent round patch and other irregular transparent and dark patches (Fig. 18 ); clava relatively slender, 3.0-3.6 x as long as wide P. pseudovittatus sp. nov.
- Mesoscutellum with submedian dark longitudinal stripes merging with lateral stripes at posterior margin (cf. fig. 265 in Rosen and DeBach 1979 ); forewing with delta area having an infuscated ring formed by dark and hyaline setae, without dark membrane; forewing disc with different pattern posterior to linea calva formed mainly by several subelliptical transparent patches against a dark background (cf. fig. 268 in Rosen and DeBach 1979 ); clava about 2.5 x as long as wide P. vittatus Compere
5 Scape pale; forewing at most faintly infuscated; midlobe of mesoscutum about 1.6 x as wide as long (cf. Fig. 10E in Huang 1994 ) 6
- Scape with a dark brown oblique band apically; forewing with an "M" shaped transparent patch (cf. fig. 11C in Huang 1994 ); midlobe of mesoscutum 1.9 x as wide as long (cf. fig. 11E in Huang 1994 ) P. transversus (Huang)
6 Mesofemur with a dark patch medially on outer surface; clava more than 2 x as long as wide P. angustus (Compere)
- Mesofemur pale; clava 1.8 x as long as wide P. breviclavatus (Huang)
