Morphological diagnosis.
Female - Body length: 1.4-1.6 mm, forewing length 1.5-1.6 mm. Clypeus (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ) narrow with 6 long setae on dorsal surface. Maxillary palp with 4 palpomeres, labial palp with 2 palpomeres (Fig. 2B View Figure 2 ). Antenna (Fig. 2C View Figure 2 ) filiform, with 11 antennomerese, covered mainly with semierect setae, slightly shorter than the diameter of segments. Flagellomere 1 (F1) 1.15-1.22 × as long as F2 and 3.60-3.75 × as long as maximally wide. F1 and F2 with 1-2 and 1-3 longitudinal placodes, respectively. Mesoscutum (Fig. 2D View Figure 2 ) smooth with notaulices hardly visible at anterior part, sparsely setose. Forewing (Fig. 2E View Figure 2 ) stigma elongate, triangular with slightly convex outline, 2.90-3.10 × as long as wide and 3.00-3.20 × as long as R1. Vein r&RS extended beyond R1. Wing margin with very long frings. Propodeum (Fig. 2F View Figure 2 ) with well developed carinae, irregularely branched at anterior and lateral parts. Central areola partially divided by irregular internal carinae. Upper and lower parts of propodeum with 8 and 2 long erected setae, respectively. Petiole (Fig. 2G View Figure 2 ) short, 1.55-1.80 × as long as wide at spiracles with a pair of long setae near each prominent spiracular tubercle and a single seta at posterio-dorsal area. Ovipositor sheath (Fig. 2H View Figure 2 ) stout, with smooth dorsal outline, deeply concaved ventrally in anterior edge, sharly expanded into a ventral projection bearing a pair of long setae. Prongs distinctly separated at base, almost stright, progressively constricted and upcurved at apex. Ventral side of prongs bear 4-5 prependicular setae, with single claw-shape seta and pair of short setae at apex.
Color (Fig. 3A View Figure 3 ). Head and mesosoma dark brown to black, gaster brown. Antenna brown, mouth parts, pedicel, F1, legs and petiole yellowish brown. Wings infumated. Apex of oviposirot sheath dark brown.
Male (Fig. 3B View Figure 3 ) - Antennae with 13 antennomeres, body length 1.4-1.5 mm.
Molecular data.
The DNA sequences of the mtCOI gene were obtained from a single specimen of both male and female of T. liui , with no intraspecific genetic distance (0.0%). The interspecific genetic distances of mtCOI within Trioxys species ranged from 10.9% to 14.7%. The uncorrected pairwise genetic distances (p-distance) of mtCOI, separated T. liui from all other Trioxys species, with at least 10% of the sequence divergence (Table 1 View Table 1 ). After the reconstruction of the Neighbor-Joining tree, T. liui stands basal to the branch that includes Trioxys pallidus (Haliday, 1833) and Trioxys complanatus Quilis, 1931 (Fig. 4 View Figure 4 ). No further analysis was possible because almost all deposited sequences originated from specimens that were identified only at generic level.
