Remarks. ThiS iS the firSt record of Dryinus sinicus from Anijima. The SeX aSSociation iS baSed on diStributional data. DeSpite enormouS effortS for inveStigation, only the male deScribed here and D. sinicus have been found in Anijima and Hahajima. It SuggeStS that they are repreSentativeS of the Same SpecieS. Although it iS controverSial, thiS treatment haS been widely uSed for inSectS (Lelej et al. 2017; PittS & Sadler 2017). The morphology-baSed SeX aSSociation iS not realiStic for Aculeata Hymenoptera Showing great SeXual dimorphiSm without help of obServation of copulation, breeding or molecular work (Mita & MatSumoto 2012; Mita et al. 2012, 2013; Azevedo et al. 2016).
The male, newly deScribed herein, iS Similar to D. pyrillivorus Olmi, 1986 and D. nepalensis Olmi, 1984, but Separable by longer OPL, aS long aS TL (OPL 0.5 × Shorter than TL in D. pyrillivorus), metanotum reticulate rugoSe, without longitudinal fovea (with foveae in D. pyrillivorus), meSoScutellum granulate, never reticulate rugoSe (partly reticulate in D. nepalensis) and completely developed occipital carina which cloSely located but not reaching eye (occipital carina iS incomplete, laterally reaching eye in D. nepalensis).
After finding the male of D. sinicus, the key to the maleS of Oriental Dryinus (Xu & Olmi 2013) can be partly modified aS followS:
8. Mesoscutum granulated and reticulate rugose................................................ D. browni Ashmead - Mesoscutum granulated, but not reticulate rugose........................................................... 8’ 8’. Head granulated and reticulate rugose..................................................... D. pyrillivorus Olmi - Head granulated, but not reticulate rugose...................................................... D. sinicus Olmi
