Subgenus Microchelonus Szépligeti, 1908 s. str.
Diagnosis. Body small-sized; head transverse; antennomeres of female 16; eye sparsely setose; frons and vertex striate-rugose; face flat, striate-rugose to reticulate-rugose; clypeus often finely punctate, with distinct setosity and shiny; mesoscutum and scutellum evenly convex; propodeum coarsely rugose; vein 1-SR+M of fore wing absent; hind coxa, femur and apex of tibia robust; metasomal carapace of male with medium-sized apical opening, carapace apically usually rounded in dorsal view, rarely narrowed posteriorly.
Biology. Parasitoids of Argyresthiidae , Batrachedridae , Blastobasidae , Coleophoridae , Cosmopterigidae , Gelechiidae , Momphidae , Noctuidae , Pyralidae , Sesiidae , Tortricidae , and Yponomeutidae . ( Yu et al. 2016).
Distribution. Worldwide ( Yu et al. 2016).
Notes. One species reported from China is actually a junior homonym and, therefore, here renamed: Chelonus (Microchelonus) jiae nom. nov. for C. (M.) bimaculatus ( Chen & Ji, 2003) not C. bimaculatus Szépligeti, 1896 or C. bimaculatus Ivanov, 1899 . A second species, C. (M.) tobiasi ( Yuldashev, 2011) is a junior synonym of C. (M.) tobiasi ( Zhang, Shi, He & Chen, 2008) , and, therefore, here renamed to C. (M.) substernatus nom. nov.
