Abstract

The species of Zelodia van Achterberg & Long, 2010 (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Agathidinae) from China are revised and ten species are recognized. Two new species, Z. henanensis Wu & Tang, sp. nov. and Z. liui Wu & Tang, sp. nov., are described and illustrated. Zelodia anginota van Achterberg & Long, 2010, is recorded from China for the first time. A key to the Chinese species of the genus Zelodia is provided.
