Definitely Chalcidoidea, I would say Eulophidae (please count the tarsal segments, it seems that there are 4 on the mid & hind leg, if there 4 on each leg, it's Eulophidae, if there are 5 it would be Pteromalidae). Regards, Marc |

Dear Xia-Lin, that's strange/surprising - then it should be a pteromalid (but Pteromalidae are most probably not monophyletic, they are more like a sampling ground in the Calchidoidea). The habitus, especially the antenna, seem to be typical for Eulophidae for me, also the shrunken abdomen due to weak sclerotization is rather common in Eulophids than in Pteromalidae. But - sorry about that - I don't know the Chinese fauna ;-) Best regards, Marc |
