In this study, phylogenetic relationships of 33 species belonging to 19 genera of Issidae and 1 outgroup (Paravarcia decapterix) were analyzed using maximum parsimony (MP) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods based on partial sequences of the nuclear 18S rDNA and wingless genes (Wg). The topologies of the phylogenetic trees generated from different methods were quite similar. The phylogenetic analysis divided Issidae into five subfamilies: Caliscelinae, Tonginae, Parahiraciinae, Hemisphaeriinae and Issinae. The results also supported that the genus Eusudasina should be transferred from Issinae to Hemisphaeriinae.
Stenodryas ventralis (Gahan, 1906) is reported from China for the first time. A simple description of this newly-recorded species and a key to the Chinese species of the genus Stenodryas Bates is provided. The specimens examined are deposited in the Insect Collection of Southwest University.
