All deposited in ZAFU .</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>This is the first discovery of the seasonal dimorphism in Aleuroclava . Summer puparia have a pale cuticle (Fig. 11 A, B), whereas mature overwintering puparia are dark, heavily sclerotized and secrete a dense coating of white wax on the dorsal surface (Fig. 11 H). We found only pale puparia on the same host during the summer of the same year, with no definitive identification, until seasonal dimorphism was discovered in the autumn. The summer form of A. montanus is easily confused with A. meliosmae, and specimens identified as A. meliosmae at NHMUK are actually A. montanus . Aleuroclava meliosmae lacks transverse tubercles along the abdomen segments, and its caudal furrow is narrower (Fig. 12 F). In addition, there is variation in the width of the ventral marginal fold in A. montanus, with our specimens narrower than those from Taiwan (Fig. 12 E). But specimens from Korea that look like ours (Suh 2009) were identified as A. montanus by C. C. Ko.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/0EC921B5FA2A59C48E2895108B1FD773	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

Empty pupal case white with some dark pigments, elliptical in shape, broadest at the transverse moulting suture region, 0.649 mm long, 0.451 mm wide, without secretion of wax (Fig. 7 A).</p><p>Margin. Faintly crenulate. Thoracic tracheal folds and pores distinct. Caudal furrow is as wide as the operculum, without tuberculate on it (Fig. 7 B, C).</p><p>Dorsum. Group of small tubercles located at the termination of the prothorax and the second abdominal segment. Submargin with a series of long papillae, 36 pairs, reaching beyond margin, 56.6 µm long. Longitudinal molting suture reaching margin and transverse molting suture reaching subdorsal area (Fig. 8 A). Abdominal segment I – VI with a median tubercle. Median length of pro-, meso- and metathorax: 45.8, 52.7 and 37.6 µm, respectively. Length of abdominal segments as measured along the midline as follows: abdominal segment I 40.2 µm; abdominal segments II – V each 32.6 µm; abdominal segment VI 28.9 µm; abdominal segments VII – VIII each 25.8 µm. Distance between posterior end of vasiform orifice and caudal opening measured 61.8 µm long.</p><p>Vasiform orifice. Subcordate, posterior notched (Figs 7 C, 8 C), 35.0 µm long, 37.4 µm wide; operculum subcordate, 20.8 µm long, 24.5 µm wide, almost covering the orifice; lingula concealed.</p><p>Venter. Thoracic tracheal fold narrow and caudal tracheal fold wide, without stipples. Antennae 64.7 µm long, extend through inside prothoracic legs.</p><p>Chaetotaxy. First abdominal setae 294.5 µm long. Eighth abdominal setae lateral to vasiform orifice, 5.2 µm long. Caudal setae 122.6 µm long.</p><p>Host plant.</p><p>Baccaurea ramiflora ( Malpighiales, Phyllanthaceae).</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>China (Yunnan).</p><p>Biology.</p><p>Specimens were found singly on the undersurface of leaves. No adults were collected in the samples, and no ants were observed attending the whitefly.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The species takes its name from its type locality, Yunnan Province, China.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>The puparium of the new species closely resembles that of Aleuroclava filamentosa (Corbett, 1933), but differs in having several groups of small tubercles with dark pigments (absent in A. filamentosa). In addition, through examination of the paratype of A. filamentosa at NHMUK, it was found that the presence of a pair of setae on each abdominal segment in A. filamentosa should be a characteristic of its endoparasitic wasp (this feature was not observed in non-parasitized specimens) (Fig. 13). The distinguishing features mentioned in the new species described by Dubey (2020 b) are actually present in A. filamentosa as well (such as the median tubercles on the abdomen), but a synonym is not proposed here.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AA75EF8BDE3957E99EEF84EA31EAB03D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
