Despite a fairly good number of Miocene insect-bearing deposits available worldwide, the bethylid wasps from this period are yet very poorly known. Here, we describe and figure three new species in subfamilies, early to middle Totolapa (Mexico): Goniozus cotyi sp. nov. (Bethylinae), Bakeriella nanyhelae (Epyrinae), Solepyris electromexicanus (Scleroderminae). The cosmopolitan Förster, 1856 was ...

A review of the genera and species of Hymenoptera Parasitica and Chrysidoidea reported so far from Reunion Island is provided with host information. Data presented here is based on a review of the existing literature by the authors. The list includes: (1) 156 species of Ichneumonoidea belonging to 65 genera and 25 subfamilies (Braconidae: Agathidinae, Alysiinae, Aphidiinae, Braconinae, Charmont...

Melanepyris Kieffer, 1913 was proposed to accommodate a single species of Epyris Westwood, 1832, E. imicola Kieffer, 1913, mainly based on the absence of the posterior propodeal carina. Today, Melanepyris includes only two nominal species. The type-material of these species has been considered lost since their original description. In this study, the single known adult male (holotype) of Melane...

Species of the genus Foenobethylus Kieffer, 1913 are parasitoids wasps rarely collected and only found in Oriental region. In this study, based on both morphological molecular evidence, we describe three new species from China: F. robusta Li & Chen, sp. nov. , xinglongsensis Wang yunkaishanensis Chen Luo, An updated key to is provided. Additionally, phylogenetic relationships between ot...
