This dissertation focuses on the systematic of the subfamily Opiinae in Braconidae from China. It mainly consists of four parts: the general part, systematic part and phylogenetic analysis.In the general part, the research histroy and the present research status of Opiinae is briefly introduced on a worldwide basis. Different taxonomic systems and the opinions of different authors on the classification of the subfamily Opiinae are summarized. In addition, the general morphology of Opiinae is introduced. The briefly information on the host, biology and biological control are provided. Distribution of genera is analyzed by table and fiigs.In the systematic part, forty species of ten genera in two tribes from China are described in detail. One new genus, Truncatopius gen. nov. is proposed (type species: Truncatopius longidentis sp. nov.). 29 species are described as new to science: Ademon lechrilophodes sp. nov., Ademon xuthus sp. nov., Atoreuteus teretomus sp. nov., Diachasma adiastaltus sp. nov., Diachasma legnotos sp. nov., Diachasma incterotomus sp. nov., Diachasmimorpha ammanotus sp. nov., Diachasmimorpha bicolor sp. nov., Diachasmimorpha curvinervis sp. nov., Diachasmimorpha dicrocarinata sp. nov., Diachasmimorpha flavifacialis sp. nov., Diachasmimorpha melathorax sp. nov., Diachasmimorpha palleomaculata sp. nov., Eurytenes basinervis sp. nov., Eurytenes glabratus sp. nov., Eurytenes rugosulcus sp. nov., Eurytenes setoputeus sp. nov., Fopius mystrium sp. nov., Fopius oxoestos sp. nov., Fopius spanistriae sp. nov., Psyttalia brevisegmenta sp. nov., Psyttalia glabripleuralis sp. nov., Psyttalia hainanensis sp. nov., Psyttalia laterocavatus sp. nov., Psyttalia transtomus sp. nov., Truncatopius longidentis sp. nov., Utetes amplus sp. nov., Utetes fahringeri sp. nov., Utetes rugofacies sp. nov..Fifteen genera are newly recorded of China: Ademon Haliday, Apodesmia Foerster, Atoreuteus Foerster, Biosteres Foerster, Bitomoides van Achterberg, Bitomus Szepligeti, Chilotrichia Foerster, Desmiostoma Foerster, Diachasma Foerster, Eurytenes Foerster, Opiostomus Fischer, Phaedrotoma Foerster, Sternaulopius Fischer, Utetes Foerster., Xynobius Foerster One species is recorded for the first time to China: Fopius denticulifer (van Achterberg and Macto, 1990). Except for that fifteen newly recorded genera, there are two genera are newly recorded of mainland China: Diachasmimorpha Viereck and Fopius Wharton. One species is recorded for the first time to mainland China: Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead, 1905).The phylogenetic relationship of most genera of Opiinae based on the morphological characters are discussed. The cladistic analysis was conducted by PAUP*4.0 and Mrbays programs. The consensus trees is chosen to explain the relationship among the genera of Opiinae. The result shows that Opiinae is paraphyletic based on the morphological characters; Diachasmimorpha genera group including Doryctobracon Enderlein, ((Bitomus+Coleopius)+(Orientopius+Bitomoides)), (Chilotrichia+(Biosteres+Xynobius)) is monophyletic, respectively; some important sister-group relationship of genera are sustained. But its exact phylogenic relationship between between subtribe Opiina and Biosterina, Psyttalia and Opius s. 1., Phaedrotoma and Opius s. s., Apodesmia and Eurytenes, Bathystomus and Diachasma still keeps uncertain.The keys to species and brief descriptions of some genera and species from China are given as follows:1.
