Dendroctonus armandi Tsai et Li, Tomicus minor Hartig, T. piniperda L. and also I. acuminatus Gyllenhal (CAFB).

Diagnosis: This species is similar to Coeloides ungularis Thomson, but can be separated from the latter by the key mentioned above. It has antennae with 33–38 segments, first flagellomere slightly longer than the second one, weakly protruding apically; second flagellomere strongly flared apico­ventrally, and third flagellomere normal apico­ventrally; notauli of mesoscutum deep and wide entirely; veins 2­SR: SR1 of fore wing = 1: 3.4; first metasomal tergite with narrow and shallow grooves laterally; second metasomal tergite with narrow and deep longitudinal grooves laterally; and ovipositor sheath relatively long, 1.8 times as long as abdomen.

Biology: Parasite of the larvae of Dendroctonus armandi Tsai et Li, Ips acuminatus Gyllenhal, Tomicus minor Hartig and T. piniperda L. of the family Scolytidae (Coleoptera) .

Distribution: China (Shaanxi province).
