Description:
The species of the genus Euagathis Sz\xc3\xa9pligeti, 1900 (including Balcemena Cameron, 1903; Braconidae: Agathidinae) from China and northern Vietnam are revised and keyed. Twelve species are recognised, of which six are new: Euagathis argentosa spec. nov. and E. gracilitarsis spec. nov. from Yunnan (China), E. maxichora spec. nov. and E. mayunae spec. nov. from Fujian (China), E. parallela spec. nov. and E. robusta spec. nov. from Tonkin (Vietnam), the latter also from Yunnan. The following are new synonyms: Euagathis chinensis Sz\xc3\xa9pligeti, 1902, E. asiatica Fahringer, 1937, E. semenovi Shestakov, 1940, and E. relativa Bhat & Gupta, 1977, of E. ophippium (Cameron, 1899); E. nigritarsis (Cameron, 1899), E. hongkongensis Fullaway, 1919, E. nigrithorax Bhat & Gupta, 1977, E. varuni Bhat & Gupta, 1977, and E. transcarinata Bhat & Gupta, 1977, of E. forticarinata (Cameron, 1899); E. albiventris Enderlein, 1920, E. sikkimensis Enderlein, 1920 and E. chinensis (Bhat & Gupta, 1977) of E. borneoensis Sz\xc3\xa9pligeti, 1902; E. melanocera (Cameron, 1899), E. japonica Sz\xc3\xa9pligeti, 1902, E. semiflavus Sz\xc3\xa9pligeti, 1908, E. horniana Enderlein, 1920, E. formosana Enderlein, 1920, E. formosana var. obscurior Enderlein, 1920, E. nigrifrons Enderlein, 1920, E. tricarinata Enderlein, 1920, of E. chinensis (Holmgren, 1868). The genus Balcemena Cameron, 1903, is synonymised with Euagathis Sz\xc3\xa9pligeti, 1900, consequently, Euagathis ruficollis (Cameron, 1902; not Cameron, 1899) is replaced by E. rufonigra Enderlein, 1920.
