Remark.

The descriptions of Nitela domestica ( Williams, 1928) in Economic Insect Fauna of China and Hymenoptera of Zhejiang align with the characteristics of N. collaris R. Turner, 1926 , rather than those of N. domestica ( Williams, 1928) . Therefore, N. domestica ( Williams, 1928) mentioned in these works should be corrected to N. collaris R. Turner, 1926 . Prior to this study, no specimens of domestica had been discovered or recorded in China. The specimens identified in this study represent the first record of this species in China.

Distribution.

China ( Hainan), Philippines.
