A new species of Phradis Förster (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Tersilochinae) from Japan
A.I. Khalaim
Abstract. A new species, Phradis hikosanus sp. nov. from South Japan is described and illustrated. It differs from other species of the genus in its disproportionately small globose head and strongly compressed laterally mesosoma (lateral sides of mesosoma are almost flat). A key to three species of Phradis occurring in Japan is provided.
