Abstract

<br> The genus<br> Orientoglypta<br> Kuslitzky, 1973 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonide, Banchinae) is a small taxon of ichneumonid wasps, comprising only three described species worldwide. Currently, there are no documented host records for any species. Prior to this study,<br> Orientoglypta<br> was poorly documented in China, with only a single species,<br> O. lota<br> , previously reported from Taiwan.<br> <br> <br> Here, we report for the first time the presence of<br> Orientoglypta<br> in mainland China, reporting four new species and one known species:<br> Orientoglypta lota<br> (Chiu, 1965),<br> O. laevis<br> Gong &amp; Chen, sp. nov.,<br> O. absenta<br> Gong &amp; Chen, sp. nov.,<br> O. densipunctata<br> Gong &amp; Chen, sp. nov. and<br> O. aureocincta<br> Gong &amp; Chen, sp. nov. Additionally, a key to the world species of<br> Orientoglypta<br> is provided.<br>
