A New Species of Collyria Schiødte (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Collyriinae), a Parasitoid of Cephus fumipennis (Hymenoptera: Cephidae) in China, and Potential Biological Control Agent for Cephus cinctus in North America

Abstract::
A new species, Collyria catoptron, is described from Gansu Province, China. It is an egg-larval koinobiont parasitoid reared from Cephus fumipennis, a grass-mining sawfly that attacks wheat. Collyria catoptron is currently being evaluated as a possible biological control agent for Cephus cinctus in North America.
