Abstract
- A new species of trichogrammatid wasp, Poropoea cunabulintrans n.sp., is described from Kyoto, Japan. The species is an egg parasitoid of an attelabid beetle species, Cycnotrachelus roelofsi, which is associated with Styrax japonica. Exceptionally for the genus, the female wasp has a short ovipositor. To oviposit in the host beetle egg, the female wasp enters incomplete leaf-rolls through the oviposition hole of the host beetle immediately after oviposition by the beetle.
