            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>The specific epithet of this new species refers to the medial longitudinal dark brown strip on the mesoscutum and scutellum.</p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Antenna with scape about 3  –3.1× as long as broad; mesoscutum and scutellum with brown line running from front edge of mesoscutum to apex of scutellum; legs pale yellow; fore wing hyaline and with linea calva interrupted. Using the keys of Trjapitzin (1989) and Guerrieri and Noyes (2000), this species runs to  Metaphycus dispar (keys couplet 11 and 15). It can be separated from dispar as follows: mesoscutum and scutellum with a longitudinal dark brown strip in the middle (in dispar, mesoscutum and scutellum without a longtitudinal dark brown strip). Scape about 3  × as long as broad (in dispar, scape about 3.3  × as long as broad). Ovipositor about 5  × as long as ovipositor  sheath (in dispar, ovipositor about 4.3  × as long as ovipositor sheath). The colour of the radicle is dark brown, and the metanotum is orange (in dispar, radicle with yellow, and metanotum is brown). </p>

Frontovertex orange; orange in ocellar area, orange between occipital margin and posterior ocelli; gena with a fairly broad, oblique, pale brown-yellow from occiput to base of mandible; mouth margin narrowly pale brown below torulus; rest of head, except occiput, white; antenna (Fig. 39) with radicle yellow; scape mostly dark brown and base white; pedicel dark brown in proximal half, otherwise white, F1-F4 dark brown, F5-F6 pale brown-grey, clava dark brown, becoming slightly paler towards apex, apex paler brown; occiput with a large dark brown area above foramen, rest white; neck of pronotum pale black, posterior margin brown, lateral spots relatively large and distinct, rest white; dorsum of thorax yellow-brown; sides and posterior margin of mesoscutum and axillae inconspicuously bordered brown; setae translucent yellow, silvery in most lights; tegula white and apex grey-brown; metanotum dark brown; mesopleuron pale yellow; prosternum and mesosternum white; legs (Figs 43-45) mainly pale yellow but tibiae at knees narrowly dark brown, mid and hind tibiae with a pair of dark brown rings at about 0.2  × and 0.5  × ; fore wing (Fig. 42) hyaline and with linea calva interrupted, venation yellow-brown; hind wing hyaline; propodeum medially brown, laterally yellow; gaster dorsally brown, sides and venter white; ovipositor sheath yellow. </p>
            <p> Head with polygonally reticulate sculpture and mesh size slightly less than that of one eye facet; ocelli forming an angle of about 60°; eye not quite reaching occipital margin, separated by one diameter of a facet; eye margins subparallel with frontovertex slightly wider anteriorly; scrobes shallow and U-shaped; antenna with scape about 5.5  × as long as broad; funicle with F1-F4 smallest, subequal and transverse, F5 and F6 largest, subequal; linear sensilla only on F5 and F6; clava 3-segmented, its apex rounded; mandible relatively broad with three subequal, apical teeth (Fig. 41); palpal formula 2-2 (Fig. 40), notaular lines reaching about 0.6  × across mesoscutum (Fig. 46); fore wing venation and setation as in Fig. 42; ovipositor (Fig. 47) strongly exserted, the exserted part about 2.6  × as long as mid tibial spur, ovipositor length about 2.8  × as long as ovipositor sheath. </p>

            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>China (Beijing).</p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p> The specific epithet is derived from the latin word  “stylatus” referring to the long ovipositor sheath of the new species. </p>
            <p> Diagnosis . </p>
            <p> Scape mostly dark brown and base white and about 5.5  × as long as broad; legs mainly pale yellow but tibiae at knees narrowly dark brown, mid and hind tibiae with a pair of dark brown rings at about 0.2  × and 0.5  × ; gaster dorsally brown, sides and venter white; ovipositor sheath strongly exserted, the exserted  part about two thirds gaster length; ovipositor length about 2.8  × as long as ovipositor sheath. </p>
            <p> Metaphycus stylatus differs from other species studied here by the strongly exserted ovipositor sheath, which is about two thirds gaster length. In other species, the ovipositor sheath is less than one fifth the gaster length. Using the key of Guerrieri and Noyes (2000), this species runs to  Metaphycus asterolecanii (key couplet 12). It can be separated from asterolecanii as follows: scape about 5.5  × as long as broad; head about 3  × as broad as frontovertex, and ocelli forming an angle of about 60°; ovipositor (Fig. 47) strongly exserted, about 1.7  × as long as mid tibia (in asterolecanii, scape about 3  × as long as broad; head about 4  × as broad as frontovertex, and ocelli forming an angle of clearly less than 60°; ovipositor hidden and nearly as long a mid tibia). </p>

            <p>. China (Sichuan, Fujian).</p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>This specific epither of this new species is referring to the dark brown scape.</p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Scape with both faces black, dorsal margin black, extreme apex white, and about 2  × as long as broad; legs (Figs 66-68) with inner sides white, and outer sides very pale brown, coxae white, but tibiae at knees narrowly dark brown and fore tibia with faint brown rings, mid and hind tibiae with a pair of dark brown rings at about 0.2  × and 0.5  × ; ovipositor hardly exserted, about 4.1  × as long as ovipositor sheath. </p>
            <p> Using the key of Guerrieri and Noyes (2000),  Metaphycus fusiscapus runs to  Metaphycus pretiosus (key couplet 8), but can be separated from the latter by scape about 2  × as long as broad and head 4.1  × as broad as frontovertx (in pretiosus, scape about 4  × as long as broad, head 3  × as broad as frontovertex). Using the key of Zeya and Hayat (1993), this species goes to  Metaphycus agarwali . Both of these two species having two dark bands on mid tibiae and scape about 2  × as long as broad. It can be separated from  Metaphycus agarwali as follows: dorsal margin of scape black only base apex white, F1-F4 subequal and F5 distinctly larger (in  Metaphycus agarwali , scape dorsal margin white, and F1-F5 subequal). Both of the two species are distributed in Asia, perhaps they are closely related. In China,  Metaphycus fusiscapus is very similar to  Metaphycus wui (see comments under  Metaphycus wui ). </p>

            <p> The species name  ‘fusiformis’ is derived from the infuscate area of the fore wing. </p>

            <p> Scape with both faces dark brown, blackish, dorsal margin narrowly pale yellow, extreme apex white and about 2.4  × as long as broad; fore wing (Fig. 72) hyaline, a faintly infuscate area below marginal and stigmal veins.Using the key of Guerrieri and Noyes (2000), this species runs to couplet 10 and is similar to  Metaphycus ibericus in having a uniformly weakly infuscate fore wing. It can be separated from the latter as follows: dorsal margin of scape pale orange, not marked brown medially and 2.4  × as long as broad (in ibericus, dorsal margin of scpae marked brown medially and 3  × as long as broad); ovipositor about as long as mid tibia (in ibericus with ovipositor about 0.8  × as long as mid tibia). </p>
