Mesosoma . Length of mesosoma 1.2 times its height; dorsal pronope large, round and pronotum oblique anteriorly ( Fig. 8 ); pronotal sides smooth but oblique groove crenulate and posterior groove largely absent; epicnemial area smooth dorsally; precoxal sulcus medially superficially impressed, smooth as rest of mesopleuron; pleural sulcus smooth; mesosternal sulcus deep and narrow and very finely crenulate; notauli absent on disk, only anteriorly with pair of short smooth impressions; mesoscutum glabrous and strongly shiny; medio-posterior depression of mesoscutum medium-sized, deep, round; scutellar sulcus narrow and finely crenulate laterally, widened medially; scutellum convex medially, depressed and rugulose medio-posteriorly; surface of propodeum smooth, except for superficial rugulae posteriorly ( Fig. 4 ). Wings . Fore wing: pterostigma elongate triangular ( Fig. 2 ); 1-R1 ending before wing apex and 1.4 times as long as pterostigma ( Fig. 2 ); r:3-SR:SR1 = 3:27:55; 2-SR:3-SR:r-m = 15:27:7; r slender; 1-M slightly curved and SR1 straight; m-cu postfurcal; cu-a postfurcal and 1-CU1 widened; first subdiscal cell closed, CU1b short; apical third of M+CU1 sclerotized. Hind wing: M+CU:1-M:1r-m = 15:17:6; cu-a straight; m-cu present as faintly pigmented trace. Legs . Length of femur, tibia and basitarsus of hind leg 2.3, 7.0 and 4.3 times as long as wide, respectively ( Fig. 11 ); hind femur and tibia with medium-sized setae. Metasoma . Length of first tergite equal to its apical width, its surface evenly moderately convex and rather densely longitudinally rugulose and dorsal carinae developed in basal 0.4 of tergite, straight ( Fig. 4 ); second suture absent; second and following tergites smooth; length of setose part of ovipositor sheath 0.29 times fore wing, 2.7 times first tergite and equal to length of hind tibia; hypopygium distinctly acute apically and about 0.3 times as long as metasoma. Colour . Brownish-yellow; antenna (but scapus yellowish), stemmaticum, ovipositor sheath, pterostigma and veins dark brown; palpi, mandible, tegulae and legs (but telotarsi darkened) pale yellow; wing membrane subhyaline. Variation . Male from Anqiu has length of fore wing 2.0 mm, antenna with 24 segments, hind femur 3.0 times as long as wide and medio-anterior veins of hind wing strongly widened ( Fig. 13 ). Molecular data . 16S and 28S (CVA4245); GenBank Accession numbers JQ736254 and JQ736282, respectively. Distribution. China (Shandong, Hubei). Biology. Unknown. Notes. In the key by Chen and Weng (2005) to the Opiinae of China the type species runs to Phaedrotoma louiseae (Weng & Chen, 2005) comb. n., but this species has the propodeum with a pentagonal areola, the mesosoma brown, the first tergite 2.3 times longer than its apical width, the hind femur 6.0 times longer than wide, the antenna 1.6 times longer than body and the clypeus 1.7 times wider than high. Only by examining all Opiinae types in Beneficial Insects Lab., Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University(Fuzhou) it was found by the second author that the headless holotype of Opius latilabris Chen & Weng, 2005, from Hubei (Oriental China) is conspecific with the specimens from the Palaearctic Anqiu. In the key by Tobias (1998) to the East Palaearctic Opiinae it runs to Opius wachsmanni Szepligeti , 1898, described from Hungary (holotype examined by the second author). This species belongs to the same genus and can be separated as follows:

1	Eye in dorsal view about twice as long as temple; vein CU1b of fore wing much shorter than vein 3-CU1 ( Fig. 1 ); first tergite rather densely longitudinally rugulose (Fig.); vein 1-R1 (= metacarp) about 1.4 times as long as pterostigma ( Fig. 2 ); head dorsally, mesosternum, mesoscutal lobes medially, metanotum, propodeum, third and following metasomal tergites brownish-yellow ( Fig. 1 ); East Palaearctic and North Oriental	Psyttoma latilabris (Chen & Weng, 2005) comb. n.
-	Eye in dorsal view about as long as temple; vein CU1b of fore wing somewhat shorter than vein 3-CU1; first tergite mainly coriaceous-punctate; vein 1-R1 slightly longer than pterostigma; head dorsally, mesosternum, mesoscutal lobes medially, metanotum, propodeum, third and following metasomal tergites black; West Palaearctic	Psyttoma wachsmanni ( Szepligeti , 1898) comb. n.

The specimens reported as Opius wachsmanni Szepligeti from the East Palaearctic region (Central Asia up to Korea) by Papp (1981) , Tobias and Jakimavicius (1986) and Tobias (1998) need to be re-examined and most likely belong to Psyttoma latilabris (Chen & Weng, 2005).
