Atanycolus yangi sp. nov. (Hymenoptera, Braconidae), a new species parasitizing the flatheaded wood borer, Lamprodila nobilissima bellula (Lewis) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), is described. Lamprodila nobilissima bellula is a serious wood boring pest of Rosacea trees in North China. We collected adult specimens of A. yangi sp. nov. searching for hosts on infested tree trunks and confirmed the host-parasitoid association by dissecting parasitized hosts from infested trees in the field and rearing the parasitoid from L. nobilissima bellula -infested host tree logs in the laboratory. Adult images for both sexes of the new parasitoid species are provided. A morphological identification key to Oriental and Palaearctic species similar to A. yangi sp. nov is also presented.
新种杨氏阿托茧蜂（膜翅目：茧蜂科），一种寄生于中华丽吉丁（鞘翅目：吉丁甲科）的新物种被描述。中华丽吉丁是中国北方蔷薇科树木的一种严重蛀干害虫。我们在受侵染的树干上采集了正在寻找寄主的杨氏阿托茧蜂新种成虫标本，并通过在野外解剖受侵染树木上的被寄生寄主以及在实验室从受中华丽吉丁侵染的寄主树木原木中饲养该寄生蜂，确认了寄主 - 寄生蜂的关系。提供了新寄生蜂物种雌雄成虫的图像。还给出了与杨氏阿托茧蜂新种相似的东洋区和古北区物种的形态鉴定检索表。
