Type material
Holotype of Opius longurius, ♀ (FAFU), “[China:] Fujian, Wuyi Mt., Sangang, 30.vi.1988, Zhang Xia-bin”. Holotype of Opius vacuus, ♀ (ZISP), “[Russia], Primorskij kraj, Spassk, les, poljany, 19.viii.1991, Belokobylskij”, “Opius vacuus sp. n., det. Tobias ‘95”, “Holotypus Opius vacuus Tobias”. Paratype of Opius mediocarinatus. ♀ (MTMA) from Japan (Honshu: Kamikochi) examined.
Comparative diagnosis
The combination of lacking the medio-posterior depression of the mesoscutum (Fig. 103) and the slender first metasomal tergite with a long median carina (Fig. 104) makes this species easy to separate from all other species of Rhogadopsis in China.
Distribution
China (Fujian (as longurius), Hunan (as longuria), *Shaanxi), Russia Far East, Japan, Korea. The record from Spain (Avinent and Jiménez 1987[5]) needs reconfirmation.
Biology
Unknown.
Notes
The inclusion of Opius mediocarinatus Fischer from Japan in Psyttalia by Tobias (1998[2], 2000[3]) is an obvious misfit; it is also excluded by Wharton (2009)[6]. It has a short (hardly protruding) ovipositor (Fig. 100), vein m-cu of fore wing 0.65 times as long as vein 1-M, vein m-cu of fore wing angled with vein 2-CU1, and a normal second tergite and hypopygium. It belongs to the genus Rhogadopsis Brèthes, 1913, as defined by Li et al. (2013)[4] and is one of the easier identifiable species of the genus because of the shape and sculpture of the first tergite.
The holotype of Opius vacuus is a very typical Rhogadopsis mediocarinata because of the reduced posterior groove of the pronotal side, the striped mesoscutum and the elongate first metasomal tergite with the distinct median carina. Vein 1r-m of the hind wing is rather short (0.55 times as long as vein 1-M), but obviously this vein is rather variable in this species and vein 1-M of hind wing has a weak bend subapically.
