Abstract

Seven species of Cosmocomoidea Howard (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) from China are keyed and illustrated. The two new species are C. rugosa Aishan, Triapitsyn & Xu sp. n. (Guangdong and Yunnan) and C. tenuis Xu, Lin & Hu sp. n. (Fujian). Three species are newly recorded from China, C. atra (Foerster) s.l., C. kikimora (Triapitsyn), and C. oxypygus (Foerster).
