Summary

A description is given of a new species of Elachertus, E. agonoxenae (Chalci-Doidea, Eulophidae), on the basis of adults reared from larvae of Agonoxena pyrogramma Meyr. in New Guinea and Agonoxena sp. in Queensland. This species has been imported into Fiji for trial in controlling A. argaula Meyr., a pest of coconut palms. The new species is compared with E. argissa (Wlk.) and E. artaeus (Wlk.), two British species for which lectotypes are here selected.
