038787F1FFE1FFB52ACEF9B8FED883F7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Mandible sharpened apically and with a small subapical tooth on the upper edge. Mesopleuron with horizontal groove (Fig. 3). Metapleuron with large smooth area; its upper anterior part without carina (Fig. 4). Anterior margin of radial cell of forewing about 1.6 to 1.8 times as width of stigma; basal length of radial vein longer than its width. The longest spur of hind tibia about 0.4 times as long as hind basitarsus. This genus similar to Cryptoserphus Kieffer, 1907 and Tretoserphus Townes 1981. Differences between the genera due to the following characters: the anterior margin of the radial cell of the forewing about 1.6 to 1.8 times as long as the width of the stigma (similar in Cryptoserphus and Tretoserphus); the mandible with a small subapical tooth on the upper edge (similar in Tretoserphus and sometimes Cryptoserphus); the longer spur of the hind tibia about 0.4 times as long as the hind basitarsus (0.5 – 0.8 times in Cryptoserphus and about 0.4 times in Tretoserphus); the carina on the upper anterior part of the metapleuron lacking (absent in Cryptoserphus and present as a fine short carina in Tretoserphus).	en	Abe, Junta, Kolyada, Victor (2021): First record of the genus Phoxoserphus Lin, 1988 (Hymenoptera: Proctotrupidae) from Japan.

038787F1FFE0FFB62ACEFB61FEC68633.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Female. Body, including pronotal plate, sparsely haired; in front view, pronotal corner distinctly projecting; in lateral view, upper anterior margin with short, straight carina, and with pit just low end; scrobe smooth; its upper part with few scattered hairs (Fig. 3). Ovipositor sheath about 0.66 times as long as hind tibia, and about 7.7 times as long as width at midpoint (Fig. 5). Male. Similar to female, but flagellomeres with long erect hairs; tyloids small, circular, found on segments 2 – 8.	en	Abe, Junta, Kolyada, Victor (2021): First record of the genus Phoxoserphus Lin, 1988 (Hymenoptera: Proctotrupidae) from Japan.

038787F1FFE0FFB62ACEFB61FEC68633.taxon	discussion	Remarks. According to Lin (1988), all paratypes should have been deposited in TARI. However, we found that some of the paratypes are stored at CNCI. Although the label data are incomplete, we have examined one male and one female paratypes. According to Lin (1988), Ph. chikoi has numerous grooves at the base of the syntergite: a median groove and five grooves on each sides of it. However, the number of these grooves sometimes vary in Japanese specimens. One of these grooves is incomplete or lacking in some specimens (Fig. 7). The type series was collected in the alpine zone at altitudes of 2150 – 2560 m, but the specimens treated intreated in this paper were collected in the plains (Kyushu University, Motooka, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan) and in the low altitude zone at altitudes about 200 – 500 m from Japan. The Taiwanese samples werewere collected between April to December, while the Japanese ones were collected between December to April.	en	Abe, Junta, Kolyada, Victor (2021): First record of the genus Phoxoserphus Lin, 1988 (Hymenoptera: Proctotrupidae) from Japan.
