Abstract
A new species of Cryptinae, Endasys pristiphorae Sheng, sp.n. reared from cocoons of the tenthredinid sawflies Pristiphora erichsonii (Hartig), P. xibei Wei & Xia and P. (Stauronematus) compresicornis (Hartig) in Ningxia, Shandong and Shan’xi, China, is described and illustrated. A key to species of Endasys known from China is provided.
