Host foodplant Larix principis -rupprechtii Mayr. Differential diagnosis According to the most recent revision of Ctenopelma from the Palaearctic (Kasparyan 2004), the new species belongs to the C. lucifer subgroup in having gena convergent posteriorly, gena and mesosoma distinctly punctate, area superomedia separated from area petiolaris (but the new species is confluent) and ovipositor sheath longer. The new species can be easily dinstinguished from the only known species of the lucifer subgroup, C. lucifer (Gravenhorst, 1829), by the following combination of characters: area superomedia and area petiolaris confluent; anterior portion of median longitudinal carina of propodeum obliterated; face black, lower lateral portion with large white spots; frons and vertex entirely black; hind coxa, trochanter and femur entirely black; third tergite red. Ctenopelma lucifer: area superomedia separated from area petiolaris by carina; median longitudinal carina of propodeum complete and strong; face entirely yellow-brown; frons and vertex with laterally yellowish brown spots; hind coxa, trochanter and femur brown to darkish brown; tergites 2–4 red-brown., Published as part of Sun, Shu-Ping, Sheng, Mao-Ling & Gao, Chun, 2019, The species of Ctenopelma Holmgren (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) from China, pp. 1-31 in European Journal of Taxonomy 545 on pages 12-16, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2019.545, http://zenodo.org/record/3382721, {"references":["Kasparyan D.

Propodeum (Fig. 31) shiny, with distinct fine punctures, areae superomedia and petiolaris strongly roughened; anterior portion of area petiolaris with transverse wrinkles. Ovipositor sheath (Figs 24, 34) approximately 10 × as long as its maximum width. Apical portions of wings slightly darkened. Head and mesosoma (Fig. 24) almost entirely black. Tergite 3 red (Fig. 32). Etymology The name of the new species is based on the metasoma having one red tergite.
