Abstract

The genus Nemeritis Holmgren (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Campopleginae) is reported from China for the first time. Two new species Nemeritis kophosa sp. nov. from Anhui province and Nemeritis petila sp. nov. from Sichuan province, are described and illustrated. A key to Chinese species of this genus is provided.
