Abstract

A new genus and two species, Nasimyia gen. nov., N. megacephala sp. nov. and N. nigripennis sp. nov. (Diptera: Stratiomyidae, Pachygastrinae) from Yunnan Province, China, are described and illustrated. Relationships of the new genus are briefly discussed. A key to the known Oriental genera of Pachygastrinae with elongate, slender abdomen is presented.
