Diagnosis
(modified after Li et al. 2013[1]). Hypoclypeal depression present, often large, and medially ventral margin of clypeus above upper level of condyli of mandibles (“subcyclostome condition”) or near it (Fig. 20), rarely hypoclypeal depression nearly absent; occipital carina widely to narrowly interrupted dorsally or nearly contiguous (Fig. 18); mandible simple basally, at most with a narrow ventral carina (Fig. 20); notauli variable; medio-posterior depression of mesoscutum present (Fig. 14); precoxal sulcus present, smooth or crenulate, no indication of sternaulus; vein m-cu of fore wing usually (sub)parallel to vein 1-M (Fig. 12); vein r more or less angled with vein 3-SR of fore wing and distinctly shorter than vein 2-SR (Fig. 15); vein 3-SR distinctly longer than vein 2-SR; pterostigma long and narrow and more or less widened towards its apex, elliptical or triangular (Fig. 15); dorsope present, often bordered by lamelliform carinae (Fig. 19); second metasomal tergite striate or smooth; hypopygium of ♀ at most slightly incised.
Biology
Koinobiont endoparasitoids of leaf miners of Anthomyiidae, Tephritidae and Scathophagidae (Yu et al. 2016[6]).
Notes
Wharton (1988)[4] treated Xynobius as a synonym of the genus Opius Wesmael, 1837, but it has a distinct dorsope and according to the limited available molecular data (Li et al. 2013[1]) it is not closely related to Opius's.s. as treated by Li et al. (2013)[1]. Part of it (the subgenusStigmatopoea Fischer, 1986) has been included by Fischer (1998)[7] and Weng and Chen (2005) in the genus Eurytenes Foerster, 1863, but it seems to fit better in Xynobius (van Achterberg 2004a[3]; Li et al. 2013[1]). Wharton (2006)[5] and Walker and Wharton (2011)[8] placed Xynobius as a subgenus of Eurytenes, but we prefer to keep them separated till more is known about their relationships.
