A new genus, Unicarinata Sheng, Li & Sun, gen. nov., of the ichneumonid subfamily Ctenopelmatinae, is described for one new species, Unicarinata ventrialis Sheng, Li & Sun, sp. nov. The new genus is similar to Syntactus Förster, 1869 or Pion Schiødte, 1839, and different in having the propodeum with only one median transverse carina, areas and lateromedian longitudinal carinae entirely absent, tergite 1 straight, tergite 2 shagreened, impunctate, ovipositor straight. Types were collected from Mts Emei, Laojun, and Wawu in the Giant Panda National Park, Sichuan Province, Mts Fanjing and Leigong, Guizhou Province, and Mt Dayao, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China.
