Abstract
Seventeen Oriental species of the genus Neodryinus Perkins 1905 (Hymenoptera: Dryinidae:) are revised and a key to the species is given. N. grandis Xu, Olmi et He, sp. nov. from China (Guangdong) is described and illustrated. The status of N. malayanus (Olmi) is resurrected. Dryinidae are parasitoids of Hemiptera Auchenorrhyncha (Guglielmino & Olmi 1997, 2006, 2007). The genus Neodryinus Perkins 1905 is distributed in all zoogeographical regions (Olmi 1984, 1999) and numbers forty-four species, amongwhich sixteen were described from the Oriental region (Enderlein 1907; Fouts 1922; Olmi 1984, 1991, 1995, 1998, 2008; Richards 1953; Roepke 1916; Xu & He 1996, 1997; Xu et al. 2003). Ponomarenko (1981) recorded the Australian Neodryinus nelsoni Perkins1905 in Sri Lanka. Olmi (1984) examined the specimen seen by Ponomarenko (deposited in USNM) and concluded that it was not a nelsoni, but a different species not recognizable, because its head was missing. The species of Neodryinus are known as parasitesof Flatidae, Nogodinidae and Ricaniidae (Guglielmino & Olmi 1997, 2006).
