( Fig. 23 View FIGURE 23 )
Pleurotropis atamiensis Ashmead, 1904c: 160 View in CoL ; ♀. Lectotype ♀, USNM, not examined; designated by Kamijo, 1977: 18. Pediobius atamiensis (Ashmead, 1904) View in CoL , Bouček & Askew, 1968: 90.
Diagnosis. Tibiae pale white or apically to entirely brownish ( Figs 23 View FIGURE 23 g–i). Head very thick, semicircular in dorsal view ( Fig. 23 View FIGURE 23 a). Antenna with funicle 4-segmented and clava one-segmented ( Figs 23 View FIGURE 23 e–f). Posterior margin of MLM strongly emarginate, separated by a distinct, narrow semicircular hole from base of scutellum ( Fig. 23 View FIGURE 23 a). Notauli distinct and running as deep inner margins of notaular depressions. Scutellum longitudinally striate at anterior sides, coarsely reticulate medially and posteriorly.

Biology. In China, P. atamiensis has been recorded as a secondary parasitoid of Euplectrus spp. (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) (Sheng 1994). Additionally, as a primary parasitoid, specimens of P. atamiensis deposited in IZCAS were recorded from Laphygma exigua Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and Naranga aenescens (Moore) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).
Distribution in China. Fujian, Guangxi, Hainan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Shandong.
Remarks. For Chinese specimens of P. atamiensis examined here, the tibiae may vary with different populations from pale or apically to entirely brownish yellow ( Figs 23 View FIGURE 23 g–i). Pediobius atamiensis is a distinctive species having flagellum with four funicular segments and 1-segmented clava, and pale tibiae. Based on this, P. atamiensis is close to P. agaristae (Cameron) . Besides, they have similar sculpture of head and mesosoma, and their heads are both very thick and semicircular in dorsal view ( Fig. 23 View FIGURE 23 a). Pediobius agaristae can be separated from P. atamiensis by the following combination of characters: body quite small and stout; posterior margin of MLM not emarginated; Gt1 distinctly exceeding the middle and occupying about 3/4 length of gaster. For discussions on the relationship between P. atamiensis and P. tetratomus , see also remarks under P. tetratomus .
