Thirteen species of Xorides (Xorides) parasitizing wood-boring insects in trunks and branches of trees are reported. Three of them, X. (Xorides) pissodius Sheng & Wen sp. n. reared from Pissodes nitidus Roelofs (Curculionidae: Coleoptera) in Larix principis-rupprechtii Mayr (Pinaceae), X. (Xorides) tumidus Sheng & Wen sp. n. reared from Cerambycidae in Quercus sp. (Fagaceae) and X. (Xorides) longicaudus Sheng & Wen sp. n. are new to science. X. (Xorides) ater (Gravenhorst, 1829) is a new record for China. Some new host records are provided. A key to species of Xorides (Xorides) of the Palaearctic part of China is presented.
