Abstract

The small genus Coleopioides van Achterberg & Li, 2013 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Opiinae) of Opiinae which parasitize in fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae), have been reported for the first time in China. There are three species of the genus Coleopioides in Madagascar; and Hunan, Shandong in China. The genus Coleopioides of which including Coleopioides postpectalis Li et al., 2013 is reported for the first time from South Korea. In this study, specimens were collected by sweeping and using Malaise trap in campus of Kunsan National University (KSNU), Jeonbuk, South Korea. Diagnosis of genus, description, distribution, and diagnostic illustration of C. postpectalis are provided.
