Biology (Figs. 8–13). An alate female wasp was observed laying nineteen elongate oval eggs on the larva of Telorta divergens (Butler) on the leaf of Magnolia sp. (Magnoliales: Magnoliacea) (Figs. 8–10) (14.vi. 2008). In three days, nine young ectoparasitoid larvae hatched on the skin of the host caterpillar (17.vi. 2008). Two days later, the fully grown larvae were found (ca. 4.5mm long, ca. 1.5mm wide; purple with many small white spots, dorsum with longitudinal smooth area). Among the nine larvae, three (males) were distinctly smaller than the others (Fig. 11) (19.vi. 2008). One day later, all mature larvae pupated in the cocoons, apart from the host larva (Fig. 12) (20.vi. 2008). Maternal care of the parent wasp was observed until the pupation of the offspring. The parent wasp was dead on 27.vi. 2008, thirteen days after her oviposition. M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d.

Seunggwan Shin. Distribution. South Korea (Gangwon–do, Chungcheongnam–do, Gyeonggi–do, Seoul). Remarks. This species is similar to O. ovatus Xu and He, 2006 from China by 'legs black except brown trochanters, tibiae and tarsi; forewing with an ellipsoidal areolet; scutellar pits separated by about 4.0X as long as wide; a pair of paramedian discal carinae on propodeal disc conversing posteriorly'. However, it is distinguished from the latter by 'mandible reddish brown (black in O. ovatus); third antennal segment relatively short, 1.7 X as long as wide (2.2 X as long as wide in O. ovatus); median clypeus broad (very narrow in O. ovatus); paramedian discal carinae on propodeal disc extending only 7 / 10 of length of disc (extending nearly transverse carina in O. ovatus); propodeal disc 0.5 X as long as wide (0.64 X as long as wide in O. ovatus)'. Discussion. The members of Odontepyris have been known as the ectoparasitoids of lepidopteran larvae (Kurian, 1954, 1955; Georgiev et al., 2001), however, the relationship between bethylid wasp and host insect are poorly known. According to our observation, the female wasp laid multiple eggs on the skin of fully grown caterpillar of a noctuid host, Telorta divergens, and the ectoparasitic larvae grow very fast and pupated in three days after hatching. Further studies on its host ranges and life cycle are requisite. Etymology. The specific name is derived from the genus name of the host insect, " Telorta ".Published as part of Lim, Jongok, Shin, Sangchul & Lee, Seunghwan, 2009, New species of Odontepyris Kieffer (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae), an ectoparasitoid of Telorta divergens (Butler) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae, pp. 49-54 in Zootaxa 2052 on pages 50-52, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27476
