Extract

This paper is concerned with certain Mymaridae from crop pests in the Far East and the Ethiopian region. Anneckia oophaga gen. et sp.n. was reared from eggs of Sexava in New Guinea, and a key is given for the separation of the genus from other members of the tribe Anagrini. Acanthomymar nigrum gen. et sp.n. is associated with pests of coffee in Uganda and the genus is placed close to Chaetomymar Ogloblin (tribe Mymarini). Gonatocerus brevifuniculatus sp.n. reared from an unidentified scale on Albizia sp. in Pakistan and from Indonesia, Polynema oophaga sp.n. from Tettigoniid eggs in Malaysia, and the previously unknown male of Platypatasson fransseni Ogloblin are described. The original description of Erythmelus helopeltidis Gahan is extended by means of illustrations and Ophiomyia lantanae (Froggatt) is cited as an additional host record. Identification of material from Tanganyika showed the range of Chaetomymar lepidum Annecke & Doutt to extend to that country.
