Abstract

A new genus in the subfamily Coccophaginae (Aphelinidae), Mexidalgus gen. nov., is described based on the type species Mexidalgus toumeyellus sp. nov. from Mexico. Morphological characters of the new genus and its differences from the closely related genera Coccophagus Westwood, 1833 and Coccobius Ratzeburg, 1852 are discussed.
