Ten of the new species belong to the subgenus A. (Anastatus): A. (Anastatus) nozdormusp. nov., A. (Anastatus) kryptos\u00a0sp. nov., A. (Anastatus) napoleonissp. nov., A. (Anastatus) yalini\u00a0sp. nov., A. (Anastatus) battutai\u00a0sp. nov., A. (Anastatus) beagleisp. nov., A. (Anastatus) neltharionsp. nov., A. (Anastatus) tigrinussp. nov., A. (Anastatus) huijuanaesp. nov., A. (Anastatus) ashrafisp. nov. One belongs to the subgenus A. (Cladanastatus): A. (Cladanastatus) alexstraszasp. nov. One additional species is newly recorded from China: A. (Anastatus) mantoidae Motschulsky rec. nov. A new synonymy is also proposed: A. (Anastatus) flavaeratus Peng &amp; Tang, 2020 syn. nov. under A. (Anastatus) gastropachae Ashmead, 1904. Morphologically similar species were assigned to three informal species groups (formosanus, fulloi, and japonicus groups) based on morphology. Of the already-described species of the Chinese Anastatus, 15 were newly recorded from different provinces of China; this was true for all species except A. colemani, A. bifasciatus, A. polikiarkoudus, A. taibaiensis, and A. zdenekbouceki. Molecular analyses based on the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene were conducted on a total of 34 species (26 species derived from the specimens collected from China and eight species\u2019 sequences downloaded from the BOLD and NCBI). Multivariate morphometric analyses (PCA, LDA, MANOVA) were employed to distinguish morphologically similar species. A comprehensive diagnostic key to all Chinese Anastatus species is also provided, accompanied by photographs of diagnostic characters.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/insects17090918","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]],"date-time":"2026-09-01T15:08:43Z","timestamp":1788275323000},"page":"918","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Integrative Taxonomic Study of Chinese Anastatus (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae) Based on Morphology and COI Barcoding, with Description of Eleven New Species"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Ramzan","family":"Khan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Biological Control Research Institute, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou 350002, China"},{"name":"China Fruit Fly Research and Control Center of Food and Agriculture Organization\/International Atomic Energy Agency, Fuzhou 350002, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Agricultural and Forestry Biosecurity, Fuzhou 350002, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-2075-7020","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zixuan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Plant Diversity and Specialty Crops, South China National Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou 510650, China"},{"name":"Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Applied Botany, Guangzhou 510650, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-7856-8674","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haoran","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biological Control Research Institute, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou 350002, China"},{"name":"China Fruit Fly Research and Control Center of Food and Agriculture Organization\/International Atomic Energy Agency, Fuzhou 350002, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Agricultural and Forestry Biosecurity, Fuzhou 350002, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0382-1635","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Huayan","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Plant Diversity and Specialty Crops, South China National Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou 510650, China"},{"name":"Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Applied Botany, Guangzhou 510650, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alhadi","family":"Adam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biological Control Research Institute, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou 350002, China"},{"name":"China Fruit Fly Research and Control Center of Food and Agriculture Organization\/International Atomic Energy Agency, Fuzhou 350002, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Agricultural and Forestry Biosecurity, Fuzhou 350002, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fukiha","family":"Kanwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Agricultural and Forestry Biosecurity, Fuzhou 350002, China"},{"name":"Key Lab of Biopesticide and Chemical Biology, Ministry of Education, College of Plant Protection, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou 350002, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3224-2675","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lingfei","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biological Control Research Institute, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou 350002, China"},{"name":"China Fruit Fly Research and Control Center of Food and Agriculture Organization\/International Atomic Energy Agency, Fuzhou 350002, China"},{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Agricultural and Forestry Biosecurity, Fuzhou 350002, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Wang, Z., Zhou, Y., Zou, Y., Liu, Q., and Peng, L.
