Extract

A Chalcidoid egg-parasite of longhorn beetles of the genus Tragocephala, which damage shoots of cacao in West Africa, is attributed to the genus Aprostocetus Westw. (Eulophidae) and a new species, A. lamiicidus, is described for its reception. The morphological differences between this and some other African species of known economic importance are discussed and figured.
