Pediobius foliorum (Geoffroy, 1785) View in CoL , Bouček, 1977: 125.

Diagnosis. Female clava very broad and almost as long as combined length of preceding two funicular segments, with terminal spine transformed into a thin seta ( Fig. 16 View FIGURE 16 c). While in male, clava as usual and not broader than funicle ( Fig. 16 View FIGURE 16 d), and body usually more vividly brassy or golden ( Fig. 16 View FIGURE 16 b). In both sexes, gaster at most 1.5× as long as broad, with Gt1 occupying about 1/3 gaster, and posterior margin of Gt1 slightly protruding medially ( Figs 16 View FIGURE 16 a–b).

Bouček .

Biology. Pediobius foliorum has been recorded as either a primary or a secondary parasitoid ( Noyes 2016). It was also recorded as a primary parasitoid from the pupae of Clostera anachoreta (Fabricius) ( Lepidoptera : Notodontidae ) in Baicheng, Jilin, China ( Wang et al. 1990). However, we could not examine any specimen mentioned in that paper because of missing information of specimens' depository. If this record is valid, it still requires further confirmation that if P. foliorum is a primary or a secondary parasitoid, as in the meanwhile two Eulophus species ( Eulophus spp.) ( Hymenoptera : Eulophidae ) were also reared from the larvae of Clostera anachoreta ( Wang et al. 1990) .

Distribution in China. Beijing, Hebei, Shaanxi, Zhejiang.

Remarks. It should be noticed that P. foliorum was misidentified as P. claviger by Zhu & Huang (2001). See also remarks under P. claviger .
