[Objectives]  To provide a convenient and efficient way of identifying Anagrus dmitrievi Triapitsyn & Hu, a small parasitic wasp with potential as a biological control for the corn pest Zyginidia eremita Zachvatkin (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Typhlocybinae), that is difficult to identify on the basis of morphological features. [Methods]  Eggs of Z. eremita were collected and hatched in a laboratory to obtain adult A. dmitrievi which were then identified according to morphological characters such as body color, antennae and wings. Genomic DNA was extracted from the adult wasps using a non-damaging DNA extraction method, and DNA barcoding tests performed on the COⅠ and ITS2 genes after PCR amplification and sequencing. [Results]  Multiple sequence alignments, genetic distance and phylogenetic analyses indicate that although A. dmitrievi COⅠ and ITS2 are highly homologous to those of other Anagrus species listed in the NCBI databases, there are some clearly distinguishable differences. [Conclusion]  COⅠ and ITS2 gene sequences were obtained from male and female A. dmitrievi are sufficiently distinctive to provide a foundation for the development of a molecular rapid identification system for this small, parasitic wasp.
