New Charipinae (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea: Figitidae) records from China

• 21 species have been identified of Alloxysta, Dilyta and Phaenoglyphis genera.
• 19 species are here recorded for the first time from China.
• The most abundant genus found in this work was Alloxysta.
• Misinformation in Charipinae distribution is due to a lack of material collected.
• Continue with faunistic works to improve the Charipinae knowledge in China.

Charipinae material collected from different provinces of China has been studied. Twenty-one previously described species have been identified: Alloxysta arcuata, A. brevis, A. carinata, A. castanea, A. consobrina, A. fracticornis, A. leunisii, A. macrophadna, A. mullensis, A. obscurata, A. paretasmartinezi, A. pilipennis, A. pilosa, A. postica, A. sawoniewiczi, A. victrix, A. xanthopa, Dilyta subclavata, Phaenoglyphis chinensis, P. heterocera and P. villosa. All species, except for P. chinensis and P. villosa, are here recorded for the first time from China. Diagnosis, material studied and distribution are given for each species. Plates with the diagnostic morphological features of each species are also included.
