Xanthopimpla enderleini Krieger, 1915

Xanthopimpla enderleini Krieger, 1914 . Arch. f. Naturgesch., (A) 80 (6): 35. Lectotype: ♀, Indonesia: Sumatra (MZPW).

Diagnosis. Stigma dark brown to blackish; area superomedia as long as or much longer than wide, receiving costula near the centre; ovipositor sheath 3.9x as long as wide, wider near base than at middle.

Distribution. Pham (1997) has previously recorded this species from Vietnam on the basis of specimens collected from Hanoi, Hung Yen, Tien Giang, Binh Dinh and Phu Yen provinces. Outside Vietnam, this species has been recorded from China, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines ( Yu et al. 2005).

Remarks. Xanthopimpla enderleini was first reported from Vietnam by Pham (1991) and recognized as parasitoid of Cnaphalocrocis medinalis ( Lepidoptera : Pyralidae ), Parnara guttata ( Lepidoptera : Hesperiidae ), and Sesamia inferens ( Lepidoptera : Noctuidae ) on rice ( Pham 1997). However, we did not find any specimens of this species in recent field collections. The presence of X. enderleini in Vietnam needs to be confirmed due to its morphological similarity to X. flavolineata .

Material examined. None.
