Abstract

Tetracyclos boreios Kryger is redescribed and illustrated, and its placement within the family Encyrtidae (Chalcidoidea) confirmed. The peculiar mechanism of movement of thoracic sclerites is described; this is compared with that of other Encyrtidae and Eupelmidae (Chalcidoidea), and its possible biological significance is discussed.

Résumé

Nous redécrivons et illustrons les adultes de Tetracyclos boreios Kryger. Nous confirmons le placement de cette espèce dans la famille des Encyrtidae (Chalcidoidea). Nous décrivons le mécanisme special d’articulation des sclerites thoraciques, comparons de mécanisme entre d’autres Encyrtides et Eupelmides (Chalcidoidea), et discutons le potentiel biologique de ce mécanisme.
