A Synopsis of the Ethiopian and Indo-Malayan Species ofMicrophanurus(Serphoidea, Scelionidae)

This paper brings together all the species ofMicrophanurusfrom the Ethiopian and Indo-Malayan regions that I have written about during the last eight years. I have found that the fauna of neither region could be studied in isolation if a proper understanding of the taxonomic relationships and host-preferences of the genus were aimed at. The key contains all the species from the regions concerned of which the types or at least authentically named specimens are in the British Museum. Two new African species are described. For the identification of the Hemipteron,Atelocera stictica, Westwood, and for other information I am much indebted to Mr. W. E. China.
