Abstract

Abstract

Tachinobia gen. n. is defined and T. repanda sp. n. and T. gradwelli sp. n., both of which are parasites of Taohinidae, are described and illustrated. Kocourekia clavigera sp. n., a parasite of Megachile, is also described. A tentative illustrated key to 17 genera of Tetrastichinae is given, with notes on all genera and details of hosts and geographical distribution for included species. One species, Quadrastichodella eucalypti, is probably phytophagous and is widely distributed on cultivated eucalypts.
