In the Afrotropical region we recorded two species: Dyscritobaeus . comitans and D. ndokii Tortorici et Caleca sp. nov.</p><p>Based on an analysis of the description and figures of Dyscritobaeus indicus (Mukerjee, 1994), in contrast to Mineo et al. (2010) and O’Connor &amp; 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 T2. This feature was only recently observed and described (Mineo &amp; 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 T2 was described as striate.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03B0A92B05610050FF6F4A54FD8CFE06	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

T2 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).</p><p>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.

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 T2 are curved in the middle of the posterior margin forming a small area resembling a faint specillum (Figs 34, 78).</p><p>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 T2 as being entirely striate (high magnification and correct lighting is critical to discern the specillum).</p><p>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.</p><p>Distribution.

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; T2 without specillum (Figs 81, 85) and absence of odontoid process in both sexes, central keel present and the angle st-pm&gt;40° in both sexes, distinguish this species from D. flavus and D. parvipennis .</p><p>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.</p><p>In males the A 2/ A 3 ratio is 0.83 (Fig. 41b) similar to that in D. parvipennis (A 2/ A 3 ratio 0.71) (Fig. 41f); in D. flavus the A 2/ A 3 ratio is 1.1 (Fig. 41d).</p><p>Description.

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 T2 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 &lt;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 .</p><p>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 .</p><p>Description. Female. Length of the body: 1.22 mm.</p><p>Head.

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 T2 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°.</p><p>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.</p><p>Description. We provide the re-description based on an Australian female and an Australian brachypterous male that were in 1989 compared (by one of the authors: V. Caleca) with the female holotype of Hadronotus parvipennis Dodd and with the holotype of Hadronotus aquaticus Dodd (both on the same slide); both of these specimens used for the description were collected close to the type locality.</p><p>Female.

The species is brachypterous; in the Afrotropical region this feature is shared only with D. kilimanjarensis and D. parvipennis . On T1 the pair of longitudinal submedial carinae are absent and T1 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 A2–A3 ratio and darker color of the body.</p><p>Description. Male. Length of the body: 0.91 mm.</p><p>Head. Color brown. Coriaceous; head covered by short hairs, mandibles yellow. Frontal depression shallow and lightly coriaceous; central keel present (Fig. 106). Fan-like striation in malar area from oral foramen to eye margin, fan-like striation not visible in genal area. Malar sulcus length: 0.15 mm. Preoccipital lunula present and sculptured (Fig. 106). Head measures width: height: length = 0.37: 0.36: 0.21 mm. Eye measures width: length = 0.12: 0.16 mm. OOL: LOL: POL = 0.1: 0.1: 0.11 mm. Mandibles bidentate without odontoid process.</p><p>Antenna. Radicles and scape dark yellow; A 3 – A 12 brown; A 1 length: 17; A 2 as long as A 3; A 11: A 12 ratio= 1:2.</p><p>Mesosoma. In dorsal view, mesoscutum brown; mesoscutellum brown with posterior margin yellow; propodeum brown to yellow in lateral margin(Fig. 108); mesosoma in lateral view light brown (Fig. 107). In dorsal view mesoscutum and mesoscutellum imbricate (Fig. 108); in lateral view speculum with furrow; femoral depression smooth with fan-like striation starting by post-ventral angle; posterior mesepimeral area not well delimitate anteriorly; dorsal and ventral metapleural area with crenulate depression with rugae (Fig. 107); metapleural carina with one posterior pointed projection. Metascutellum not protruding, not visible in dorsal view, metanotal spine absent (Fig. 108). Mesonotum length 0.24 mm, width 0.41 mm; mesoscutellum length 0.14 mm, width 0.32 mm.</p><p>Wings. Fore wing hyaline, brachypterous, do not reach T1; sm: 0.17 mm; wing width 0.06 mm, length 0.19 mm. as in Fig. 40f. Legs light brown.</p><p>Metasoma. Metasoma brown; laterotergites yellow; Coriaceous. On T1 pair of longitudinal submedial carinae absent (Figs 107, 108).</p><p>Female: unknown</p><p>Comment and variability. The description of this species is based on only a single specimen, which, however, possesses uniquely diagnostic character states: brachypterous with the rare character state where the metascutellum is not visible in dorsal view.</p><p>Distribution. (Fig. 109)</p><p>Etymology. The species is named after the country where the specimen was collected, Tanzania. Material examined. Holotype.
