Abstract

The phygadeuontine genus Apophysius (Ichneumonidae) is reviewed for the first time. Six new species are described, A. baolocensis Pham, Matsumoto & Broad sp. nov., A. constrictus Pham, Matsumoto & Broad sp. nov. and A. taynguyenensis Pham, Matsumoto & Broad sp. nov. from the Central Highlands of Vietnam, A. latus Pham, Matsumoto, Konishi, Sheng & Broad sp. nov. from China and Vietnam, A. takasukai Pham, Konishi & Broad sp. nov. from the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia, and A. pentaceratops Broad sp. nov. from Sarawak, Malaysia. A key to the nine known species of the genus Apophysius is included.
