Genus Monoctonus Haliday, 1833 View in CoL View at ENA
Type species: Aphidius caricis Haliday, 1833
Both new species described herein from China ( Sichuan) belong to the Monoctonus nervosus View in CoL species group, which is characterised (according to van Achterberg 1989) by the presence of 16–17 antennomeres in female, presence of the recurrent (m-cu) and first radiomedial (2-SR) veins in the fore wing, and also biotopical association with the hosts mainly from herbaceous plants.
According to recent molecular, morphological and trophic investigations, the M. nervosus View in CoL species group is a mixed aggregation and comprises species with different numbers of antennomeres and labial palp segments, as well as variable shapes of the ovipositor sheath ( Čkrkić et al. 2019). The following species belong to this species group: M. allisoni Pike & Starý, 2003 View in CoL ; M. brachyradius Čkrkić, Petrović & Tomanović, 2019 , M. canadensis Čkrkić, Petrović & Tomanović, 2019 , M. indiscretus Čkrkić, Petrović & Tomanović, 2020 , M. inexpectatus Čkrkić, Petrović & Tomanović, 2019 , M. leclanti Tomanović & Starý, 2002 View in CoL , M. montenegrinus Petrović & Tomanović, 2023 , M. nervosus (Haliday, 1833) View in CoL , M. pacificus Pike & Starý, 2000 View in CoL , M. parvipalpus Čkrkić, Petrović & Tomanović, 2019 , and M. paulensis (Ashmead, 1902) View in CoL ( Čkrkić et al. 2019, 2020).
