Abstract

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Li, Yang, van Achterberg, Cornelis, Yan, Cheng-Jin, Zhu, Jia-Chen, Chen, Xue-Xin (2026): Revisiting Nesaulax Roman (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Braconinae), with description of a new species from China. ZooKeys 1267: 273-282, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.1267.137062AbstractThe genus Nesaulax Roman, 1914 (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Braconinae) is reported from China for the first time, and a new species (Nesaulax protuberator Li & van Achterberg, sp. nov.) is described and illustrated. Our pairwise genetic results indicated that four Nesaulax specimens from Thailand, Malaysia, and India in the BOLD system are conspecific with our newly described species. In addition, we report a new synonym: Nesaulax gracilis (Enderlein, 1920) syn. nov. of N. pravivena (Enderlein, 1920). A key to the species of the genus Nesaulax is provided for the first time.
