03B0A92B05610050FF6F4A54FD8CFE06.taxon	description	Based on an analysis of the description and figures of Dyscritobaeus indicus (Mukerjee, 1994), in contrast to Mineo et al. (2010) and O’Connor & Ashe (2011), both of whom included this species in the orientalis - group, we consider it as belonging to the comitans - group, because of the clear absence of a preoccipital lunula. This species appears to be morphologically very similar to D. comitans, but unfortunately the holotype was not located in the collection of the Department of Zoology, Government Post-Graduate College, Rishikesh or in ZSI centre of Dehradun, India (K. Rajmohana, in litteris); the only difference with D. comitans is the absence of a specillum on T 2. This feature was only recently observed and described (Mineo & Caleca 1992) and we suspect that, as previously happened for D. orientalis in Dodd’s original description (1915), the specillum was overlooked by the author and T 2 was described as striate.	en	Tortorici, Francesco, Caleca, Virgilio, Noort, Simon Van, Masner, Lubomir (2016): Revision of Afrotropical Dyscritobaeus Perkins, 1910 (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae).

03B0A92B05620049FF6F4C84FB90FA13.taxon	description	Based on a comparison of the holotypes of D. comitans (male) and D. cerosus O’Connor et Ashe (female), we consider D. cerosus to be a junior synonym of D. comitans; differential characters separating the two specimens are linked to sexual dimorphism, similar to the degree of sexual dimorphism present in other Dyscritobaeus species. The specimen used for the description of the male was selected by one of the authors (V. Caleca) who compared it with the holotype.	en	Tortorici, Francesco, Caleca, Virgilio, Noort, Simon Van, Masner, Lubomir (2016): Revision of Afrotropical Dyscritobaeus Perkins, 1910 (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae).

03B0A92B05620049FF6F4C84FB90FA13.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The absence of a preoccipital lunula, in combination with a dorsally sharp occipital carina (Figs 2, 16), two character states shared with D. ndokii, distinguish these two species from the other Afrotropical species. A smooth frontal depression in combination with the presence of longitudinal striae on T 2 distinguish D. comitans from D. ndokii.	en	Tortorici, Francesco, Caleca, Virgilio, Noort, Simon Van, Masner, Lubomir (2016): Revision of Afrotropical Dyscritobaeus Perkins, 1910 (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae).

The rugose T 2 separates this species from other species of the comitans- group, which either have T 2 with some longitudinal striation (D. comitans, D. bolivar, other undescribed species) or with minute granulate punctuation or coriaceous (D. minoculo, one undescribed species). Additionally the frontal depression with arched striae arising from the top of the central keel and reaching the oral foramen laterally of the clypeus (Fig. 27) distinguishes this species from D. comitans that has the frontal depression shallow and smooth (Fig. 26).

The size of the body is very homogenous in all the specimens, female occasionally completely brown. A bidentate mandible with the dorsal tooth stronger and longer than the ventral tooth is a character state typical of many Dyscritobaeus species from the Oriental, Australian, Neotropical and Nearctic regions. This character state is present in only two Malagasy species and is absent in all species from the African continent. The absence of a specillum in males confirms the presence of sexual dimorphism in respect of the T 2 sculpture as in D. sulawensis and D. comitans.	en	Tortorici, Francesco, Caleca, Virgilio, Noort, Simon Van, Masner, Lubomir (2016): Revision of Afrotropical Dyscritobaeus Perkins, 1910 (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae).

The marginalis and stigmalis are normally developed as in D. comitans and most of the other species in the genus; this character distinguishes this species from D. armatus (Dodd), having a reduced stigmalis. T 2 with a rounded-shaped specillum in females (Fig. 11), but absent in males (Fig. 34); fore wing shape and angle between stigmalis and postmarginalis similar to D. comitans; the combination of the presence of a specillum in females, absence of specillum in males and features of the fore wing is shared with D. madagascarensis, but distinguishes this species from all species known to be close to D. orientalis (1 described, D. antanananrivensis Tortorici et Caleca sp. nov. and 9 undescribed species). In females the antennal segment A 12 is shorter than A 11 (Fig. 17), with a corresponding claval sensilla formula: 0: 2: 2: 2: 1: 0 (Fig. 18); this character state is unique in the genus. A dorsal tooth that is longer than the ventral tooth (Fig. 74) distinguishes the species from D. madagascarensis in both sexes. In females the specillum is rounded in comparison with drop-shaped specillum of D. madagascarenis; in males the distance between the lateral ocellus and occipital carina is less than the ocellar diameter; the occipital carina is depressed at the vertex in comparison with D. madagascarensis (in which the distance between the lateral ocellus and occipital carina is equal to the ocellar diameter; the occipital carina is less depressed at the vertex). After comparing the description of D. sulawensis (Mineo et al. 2009) and photographs of the holotype kindly taken by James O’Connor, with specimens of this species collected from around the world and with the holotype of D. hannibal, we could not find any significant morphological differences between these two species. As a result we consider D. hannibal to be a junior synonym of D. sulawensis.	en	Tortorici, Francesco, Caleca, Virgilio, Noort, Simon Van, Masner, Lubomir (2016): Revision of Afrotropical Dyscritobaeus Perkins, 1910 (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae).

03B0A92B05740079FF6F4F0FFE31F96E.taxon	discussion	Comment and variability. This species has the widest distribution of all Dyscritobaeus species. Four hundred and fifty-four specimens were examined from Africa, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, Australia, Bangladesh, French Polynesia, India, Korea, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, Philippine, Singapore, Solomon Island, Sri Lanka. The degree of sexual dimorphism is also pronounced: specillum present in female and absent in male; female body dark brown, male with black head, mesosoma and metasoma with yellow parts in contrast with the rest brown or dark brown. Female length from 0.61 mm in Oriental specimens to 1.19 mm in Japanese specimens. Females from the Australian region are a little smaller than African ones, the central keel is shorter, and the frontal depression a little bit shallower than in African specimens. Male body length from 0.64 mm in African specimens to 1.2 mm in Japanese specimens. Larger specimens of males are more sculptured than smaller ones. A 2 completely yellow in smaller specimens, brown in the middle in larger specimens. Mesosoma in dorsal view may be brown. In some specimens the costae on T 2 are curved in the middle of the posterior margin forming a small area resembling a faint specillum (Figs 34, 78). Anthony Watsham illustrated a dark Dyscritobaeus (available in Johnson 2016: Dyscritobaeus, image 306). This specimen is probably D. sulawensis, considering that Watsham collected many D. sulawensis (see material examined) and no other similar dark Dyscritobaeus specimens, but also in this case, as happened for D. orientalis and probably for D. indicus, he overlooked the presence of the specillum, illustrating T 2 as being entirely striate (high magnification and correct lighting is critical to discern the specillum). The holotype of D. hannibal, here considered to be a junior synonim of D. sulawensis, is deposited in the collection of the Genoa Museum (MSNG) and not in the Insect Collection of Portici Università Federico II, Napoli, Italy (DEZA) as stated by O’Connor and Ashe (2011) in the original description.	en	Tortorici, Francesco, Caleca, Virgilio, Noort, Simon Van, Masner, Lubomir (2016): Revision of Afrotropical Dyscritobaeus Perkins, 1910 (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae).

03B0A92B054C0072FF6F4DDFFE6FF986.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The presence of a preoccipital lunula (Fig. 80) distinguishes this species from the members of comitans - group. The marginalis and stigmalis are normally developed as in D. comitans and most of the species of other scelionid genera; metascutellum visible in dorsal view, wide with margins subparallel to mesoscutellar margin, a small metanotal spine; T 2 without specillum (Figs 81, 85) and absence of odontoid process in both sexes, central keel present and the angle st-pm> 40 ° in both sexes, distinguish this species from D. flavus and D. parvipennis. The presence of a single posterior pointed projection on the metapleural carinae (Figs 80, 84, 85) distinguishes this species from those having two pointed projections (D. antananarivensis, D. comitans, D. madagascarensis, D. sulawensis); this character state is shared with D. ndokii, D. flavus, D. kilimanjarensis, D. parvipennis and D. tanzaniensis. Postmarginalis reduced as D. parvipennis and similar species. In female the antennal segment A 12 is as long as A 11 (Fig. 17), with a corresponding claval sensilla formula: 1: 2: 2: 2: 1: 0. A smooth mesepimeral sulcus distinguishes the species from D. sulawensis, which has a crenulate mesepimeral furrow. In males the A 2 / A 3 ratio is 0.83 (Fig. 41 b) similar to that in D. parvipennis (A 2 / A 3 ratio 0.71) (Fig. 41 f); in D. flavus the A 2 / A 3 ratio is 1.1 (Fig. 41 d).	en	Tortorici, Francesco, Caleca, Virgilio, Noort, Simon Van, Masner, Lubomir (2016): Revision of Afrotropical Dyscritobaeus Perkins, 1910 (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae).

The holotype was and is deposited in the collection of Genoa Museum (MSNG) and not in the Insect Collection of Portici Università Federico II, Napoli, Italy (DEZA) as stated by O’Connor and Ashe (2011) in the original description. One hundred and twenty-nine specimens were examined from Africa. Female length ranges from 0.65 mm in a Cameroun specimen to 1.1 mm in a Central African Republic specimen. Male length ranges from 0.54 mm in a Cameroun specimen to 1.06 mm in a Central African Republic specimen. In both sexes, specimens collected in South Africa have the central keel a little longer and the frontal depression smoother than specimens collected from other countries. Color is fairly uniform across all specimens.	en	Tortorici, Francesco, Caleca, Virgilio, Noort, Simon Van, Masner, Lubomir (2016): Revision of Afrotropical Dyscritobaeus Perkins, 1910 (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae).

03B0A92B05400074FF6F4B14FD87FB2E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The presence of a preoccipital lunula (Fig. 32, 87) distinguishes this species from Dyscritobaeus comitans and other species without a preoccipital lunula. A metascutellum that is visible in dorsal view, wide with posterior margins parallel to mesoscutellum ones, a small metanotal spine, and T 2 without a specillum in females (Fig. 88) distinguishes D. flavus Tortorici et Caleca sp. nov. from species of the orientalis- group s. l. (i. e. D. orientalis, D. sulawensis, D. madagascarensis). A metapleural carina with a single posterior pointed projection (Fig. 87) distinguishes this species from those having two pointed projections (D. antananarivensis, D. comitans, D. madagascarensis, D. sulawensis); a character shared with D. ndokii, D. bicolor, D. kilimanjarensis, D. parvipennis and D. tanzaniensis. Color of the head, central keel absent (Figs 20, 89), odontoid process developed (Figs 22, 89) and angle st-pm <40 ° distinguish the species from D. bicolor. Odontoid process forms a 90 ° angle with the ventral margin of the ventral tooth; the ventral tooth is larger than the dorsal tooth in females (Fig. 22). The yellow color of the head distinguishes D. flavus Tortorici et Caleca sp. nov. from D. parvipennis. A 12 long as A 11 (Fig. 17), with a corresponding claval sensilla formula: 1: 2: 2: 2: 1: 0. A smooth mesepimeral sulcus distinguishes the species from a crenulate furrow in D. sulawensis.	en	Tortorici, Francesco, Caleca, Virgilio, Noort, Simon Van, Masner, Lubomir (2016): Revision of Afrotropical Dyscritobaeus Perkins, 1910 (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae).

03B0A92B0559006CFF6F4C04FDFFFA12.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Presence of a preoccipital lunula (Fig. 100) distinguishes this species from D. comitans and other species without a preoccipital lunula. A metascutellum that is visible in dorsal view, wide with posterior margins parallel to mesoscutellar margins, a small metanotal spine (Fig. 99), and a T 2 without specillum in female (Fig. 14) distinguish this species from other species of comitans- group and orientalis- group. Metapleural carina with one posterior pointed projection (Fig. 87) distinguishes this species from D. sulawensis, D. comitans and D. madagascarensis Tortorici et Caleca sp. nov.; this character is shared with D. bicolor, D. flavus sp. nov, D. kilimanjarensis Tortorici et Caleca sp. nov., D. tanzaniensis Tortorici et Caleca sp. nov. and D. ndokii Tortorici et Caleca sp. nov. Absence of a central keel (Figs 25, 104) and a developed odontoid process (Figs 102, 103) distinguishes this species from D. bicolor. The odontoid process forms an angle of about 45 ° with ventral margin of lower tooth, dorsal and lower teeth of same length in female (Fig. 102) and brown color of the head distinguishes D. parvipennis from D. flavus. postmrginalis not developed. Fore wing shape, angle between st and hypothetical pm (= anterior border of fore wing) 28 ° – 30 °. In males, A 2 is as long as A 3. This character state distinguishes this species from D. flavus Tortorici et Caleca sp. nov. A smooth mesepimeral sulcus with fan-like striation (Fig. 101) distinguishes this species from D. sulawensis which has a crenulate mesepimeral furrow.	en	Tortorici, Francesco, Caleca, Virgilio, Noort, Simon Van, Masner, Lubomir (2016): Revision of Afrotropical Dyscritobaeus Perkins, 1910 (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae).

03B0A92B0559006CFF6F4C04FDFFFA12.taxon	discussion	Comment and variability. 132 specimens were examined from Africa, Australia, India, Indonesia, Nepal, New Caledonia, Philippine and Thailand. The holotype is on slide as well as the Holotype of Hadronotus aquaticus. The Holotype of D. maputanus and slide preparation of the wings are deposited in the collection of MSNG and not in the Insect Collection of Portici Università Federico II, Napoli, Italy (DEZA) as stated by O’Connor & Ashe (2011). Female length ranges from 0.79 mm of Tanzania specimens to 1.02 mm of South African specimens. Male length ranges from 0.67 mm of Australian specimens to 1.02 mm of South African specimens. In males there is a large variability in wings from brachypterous (reaching T 2 or slightly surpassing the posterior margin of T 2) to macropterous (slightly surpassing the metasoma) (Figs 35, 36, 37); when the fore wing surpasses the metasoma, the wing ratio is: st: mg: sm: ww: lw: af: pf = 1: 0.4: 2.9: 2.9: 7.4: 0.2: 1.1; angle stanterior margin 28 ° (Fig. 40 b), st = 0.09 mm. The head can vary from dark brown to light brown, but it is never black as in D. bicolor (Figs 35, 36, 37, 104).

03B0A92B055E0062FF6F4BA2FF0BF8A6.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The species is brachypterous; in the Afrotropical region this feature is shared only with D. kilimanjarensis and D. parvipennis. On T 1 the pair of longitudinal submedial carinae are absent and T 1 is homogenously coriaceous; only three brachypterous species, D. aspinosus, D. carens (female and male) and D. minoculo (only male) from Australia have the same character state. The absence of the metanotal spine and the lack of a protruding metascutellum is shared only with D. aspinosus, from which D. tanzaniensis Tortorici et Caleca sp. nov. can be easily distinguished by the smaller A 2 – A 3 ratio and darker color of the body.	en	Tortorici, Francesco, Caleca, Virgilio, Noort, Simon Van, Masner, Lubomir (2016): Revision of Afrotropical Dyscritobaeus Perkins, 1910 (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae).
