Comparative diagnosis.

This species belongs to the brachycentra species group sensu Townes and Chiu (1970). This species can be distinguished from other members of this species group by the following combination of character states: antenna dark yellowish-brown; mesoscutum with three black spots or a black band, plus a median black spot in front of scutellum (Fig. 1A View Figure 1 ); scutellum convex; area superomedia of propodeum wider than long, bounded by strong carinae (Fig. 4A View Figure 4 ); black spots of propodeum triangular (Fig. 4A View Figure 4 ); middle and hind tibiae with three to eight pre-apical bristles (Fig. 5A View Figure 5 ); hind femur entirely yellow (Fig. 5A View Figure 5 ); ventral edge of hind coxa rounded in lateral view; lateral sides of black spot of T I extending forwards (Fig. 1A View Figure 1 ); T II usually with a pair of black spots (Fig. 1A View Figure 1 ); basomedian part of T II usually with some punctures (Fig. 1A View Figure 1 ); T VI usually without a pair of black spots; apex of ovipositor cylindrical; ovipositor sheath 0.6-0.65 × length of hind tibia.

Distribution.

Japan (Honshu, Izuoshima Is., Shikoku, Kyushu, Tsushima Is., Yakushima Is., Amamioshima Is., Kakeroma Is., Tokunoshima Is., Okinawa Is., Miyako Is., Ishigaki Is., Taketomi Is., Iriomote Is. and Yonaguni Is.). Outside Japan, this species has been recorded from China, Malaysia and Taiwan ( Yu et al. 2016).

Bionomics.

In Japan, adults were collected in all months, except for November. In Honshu, winter is passed in the stage of adult (Fig. 8A View Figure 8 ). The wintering adults were resting under the leaf of broad-leaved, evergreen trees, such as Castanopsis cuspidata , Ilex pedunculosa and Camellia japonica . Sometimes, multiple individuals were observed under the leaves of a single tree or even on a single leaf. All wintering specimens observed were female exclusively. This species is one of the common species of Japanese Xanthopimpla and adults are frequently found flying in or along the forest edge including somewhat open habitat. Although the host of this species is unknown, a female was observed to lay eggs into experimentally supplied cocoons of Galleria mellonella (Linnaeus, 1758) and its offspring emerged successfully. One male was reared from an unidentified small lepidopterous pupa.

Remarks.

This is the first record of this species from Nakanoshima Is., Kakeroma Is., Tokunoshima Is., Taketomi Is. and Yonaguni Is. Both Momoi (1970) (published on 20 July 1970) and Townes and Chiu (1970) (published in 1970, but without data for month and day) synonymised X. minomensis under X. clavata and, in this study, we accept the former treatment, based on the ICZN 21.3.
