Calodera hebeiensis Pace, 1999: 116.
Type examined. Holotype ♀: China, Hebei, Chengde, 3.x.1993, G. de Rougemont/ Holotypus Calodera hebeiensism., det. R. Pace 99 / Calodera hebeiensis n. sp., det. R. Pace 1999/ Parocyusa hebeiensis (Pace)det. V. Assing 2003(Muséum d´histoire naturelle Genève).
Comments. An examination of the holotypeof Calodera hebeiensis( Fig. 8) revealed that it it is not a species of Calodera. It does not possess the antennal morphology that is so characteristic of the genus, nor does it have an anterior impression on the abdominal tergite VI. In fact, the type specimen somewhat resembles Parocyusa longitarsis(Erichson), a species that is rather widespread in the Western Palaearctic region. It is distinguished from that species by its slighly smaller size, the distinctly shorter and more slender antennae, the slightly less slender pronotum, the slightly shorter elytra, and the different shape of the spermatheca, but in other respects both species are most similar. Consequently, C. hebeiensisPaceis here transferred to the genus ParocyusaBernhauer.
