Summary:The genus Ismarus Haliday from China is revised. Six species are recognized, of which two species are described as new: Ismarus areolatus Chen, sp. nov. , and Ismarus paradorsiger Chen, sp. nov. By examining the pits along the anterolateral margin of mesoscutum and comparing them with the typical notauli in Diapriidae, we conclude that the so-called reduced notauli in Ismarus are actually foveae of the mesoscutual suprahumeral sulcus. An updated key to the Chinese species of the genus is provided.
