Named after the country, China, where the unique specimen was collected.	en	Sheng, Mao-Ling, Broad, Gavin R., Sun, Shu-Ping (2012): A new genus and species of Collyriinae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae).

1311431F5146EF34697E714C0C647C4C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. A distinctive species with the short, featureless ovipositor, rather massive hind leg, lobate fore and mid claws, short antennae and well-marked facial pattern.	en	Sheng, Mao-Ling, Broad, Gavin R., Sun, Shu-Ping (2012): A new genus and species of Collyriinae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae). Journal of Hymenoptera Research 25: 103-125, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/jhr.25.2319, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/jhr.25.2319
4BE2EAA77A5E9B97FFD51F2BCA30AFFD.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Collyriinae can be distinguished from all other subfamilies of Ichneumonidae by the following combination of characters: 1) dorsal part of face with a bifurcate carina extending between the antennal sockets and 2) antenna short, only slightly longer than combined length of head and mesosoma, 0.65 - 0.7 x length of fore wing. Additional distinctive characters, in combination (individually, all are shared with other taxa) are the elongate propodeum with strong lateromedian longitudinal carinae, very stout hind femur, elongate hind coxa and the subclavate shape of the metasoma. As the concept of Collyriinae has now been expanded since Townes's (1971) definition, we provide a modified description of the subfamily below.	en	Sheng, Mao-Ling, Broad, Gavin R., Sun, Shu-Ping (2012): A new genus and species of Collyriinae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae). Journal of Hymenoptera Research 25: 103-125, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/jhr.25.2319, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/jhr.25.2319
4BE2EAA77A5E9B97FFD51F2BCA30AFFD.taxon	biology	Biology. Collyria coxator (Villers) is a common parasitoid of Cephus pygmaeus (Linnaeus) (Hymenoptera: Cephidae) in Europe and a detailed account of its life history was published by Salt (1931). Another species of Collyria, Collyria catoptron Wahl, has been reared from Cephus fumipennis Eversmann (Wahl et al. 2007). Little is known about the biology of other species but they are likely to all be parasitoids of Cephidae. The biology of the genus is unusual for Ichneumonidae in that oviposition is into the host egg with emergence from the fully grown host larva after it has spun its cocoon (Salt 1931). Nothing is known of the biology of Bicurta sinica sp. n. or of Aubertiella nigricator (Aubert 1964).	en	Sheng, Mao-Ling, Broad, Gavin R., Sun, Shu-Ping (2012): A new genus and species of Collyriinae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae).

Bicurta can be distinguished from Collyria by any of the following characters (state in Collyria in brackets: 1) epicnemial carina not clearly visible dorsal to mesosternum (carina distinct on mesopleuron); 2) ovipositor straight and smooth, without teeth on ventral valve (weakly decurved with weak teeth on ventral valve in most species; 3) fore and mid tarsal claws with acutely lobed tooth (with a weak medial tooth). Aubertiella resembles Bicurta in the very weak clypeal tubercle and simple ov ipositor but can be distinguished by the median teeth on the fore and mid tarsal claws (similar to Collyria), black face and the apical tergites retracted beneath the sixth tergite.	en	Sheng, Mao-Ling, Broad, Gavin R., Sun, Shu-Ping (2012): A new genus and species of Collyriinae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae).

03872BE480166A2B9A675CD44391DA40.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The name of the new genus is based on the short antenna and ovipositor sheath. The gender is feminine.	en	Sheng, Mao-Ling, Broad, Gavin R., Sun, Shu-Ping (2012): A new genus and species of Collyriinae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae).
