7257474DFF8B2A3DFF32FD51AC80FB04.taxon	description	This is a large genus of Ichneumoninae with an Afrotropical and Oriental distribution. For the Afrotropical species of the tribe Compsophorini, HEINRICH (1967 - 1968) proposed five genera which were subsequently all synonymized by TOWNES & TOWNES (1973) under the sole genus Compsophorus with the exception of Pyramidamblys HEINRICH which was retained as a separate genus. The material from Gabon represents a surprisingly species-rich assemblage of sympatric taxa which are described here as different species. However, due to the restricted material, the variability of the species could not have been adequately addressed. Although a future modern revision, together with more material from the different African countries, will be necessary for a better understanding of the variability of the genus in Africa, we believe that this addition to HEINRICH ̕ S work will be a valuable input for future studies of the subfamily from Africa.	en	Riedel, Matthias, Pos, Davide Dal (2019): Contribution to the AIrotropical Ɨchneumoninae (Hymenoptera, Ɨchneumonidae) Irom Gabon and Sierra Leone, with descriptions oI Iive new species and two new subspecies.

7257474DFF832A35FF32FEEFAF5DFDBC.taxon	description	The genus comprises six species distributed in the Afrotropical (Congo, Madagascar), Eastern Palaearctic (Kazakhstan) and Western Palaearctic (Spain, Turkey) regions (YU et al. 2015). Magwengiella can be easily differentiated from the other two genera occurring in the Afrotropical area (Ctenocalus SZÉPLEGETI and Seyrigiella HEINRICH) by the following characteristics: complete and prominent carination of the propodeum; impectinate claws of female, and metasoma slightly more elongated and nearly parallel-sided (HEINRICH 1967 - 1968: 384 - 385).	en	Riedel, Matthias, Pos, Davide Dal (2019): Contribution to the AIrotropical Ɨchneumoninae (Hymenoptera, Ɨchneumonidae) Irom Gabon and Sierra Leone, with descriptions oI Iive new species and two new subspecies.
