On the taxonomy of some African Eulophidae (Hym., Chalcidoidea) associated with oil palm, coffee and mango

Abstract

Three species of Pediobius Walker associated with the oil palm Hispid beetle are studied. One is identified as P. coffeicola (Ferrière), comb.n. The other two are described as new, and a key separating one of them from P. nigripes (Waterston), comb.n., and P. amaurocoelus (Waterston), comb.n., is given. Two new species of Achrysocharis Girault are described, one a parasite of Dipterous leaf-miners in coffee, one reared from galls on mango.
