Introduction
The superfamily Ichneumonoidea is a large superfamily
within the Hymenoptera with more than 2650 described genera
and more than 44,350 described species (Yu et al., 2012).
After various recently primary and secondary homonym
treatments within the Braconidae and Ichneumonidae
(Achterberg et al., 2015; Araujo & Vivallo, 2015; Fernandes,
2015; Kittel & Quicke, 2015; Zhang & Chen, 2015; Kittel et
al., 2016), it was clear that the superfamily Ichneumonoidea
is in need of a thorough treatment of the homonyms. The
purpose of the present paper is to bring the taxonomy of
the Braconidae and Ichneumonidae (Ichneumonoidea) into
accordance with paragraph 57 of the International Code of
Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, 1999). Homonyms of two
genera and 87 species were discovered within the superfamily
Ichneumonoidea (Insecta: Hymenoptera). In an effort to
reduce homonyms in Hymenoptera, I propose the replacement
names for those two genera and 87 species.
The majority of treated homonyms stem from primary
homonyms, but many secondary homonyms replacement
names are proposed as well. Junior synonyms are not treated,
regardless of primary or secondary homonymy.

Japanese species of the tribe Banchini Wesmael, 1845 are revised. Four species of Banchus Fabricius, 1798, 13 species of Exetastes Gravenhorst, 1829 and two species of Rhynchobanchus Kriechbaumer, 1894 are recognized. Two new species, Ex-etastes albimarginalis sp. nov. and E. transstriatus sp. nov. are described. The former resembles E. sapporensis Uchida, 1931 and E. flavofasciatus Chandra & Gupta, 1977 in body colouration, but it can be distinguished by metasomal tergite 1 (T1) 1.65-1.7 × as long as maximum width (2.2-2.5 in E. sapporensis and 2.3-2.6 in E. flavofasciatus), the antenna with 53-56 flagellomeres (49-54 in E. sapporensis and 47-50 in E. flavofasciatus). The latter resembles E. albimarginalis sp. nov. and E. sapporensis in colouration, but it can be easyly distinguished by T1 with conspicuous transverse striae basally (without striae in E. albimarginalis sp. nov. and E. sapporensis). Exetastes komarovi Kokujev, 1904 is newly recorded from Japan. Males of E. bimaculatus (Uchida, 1928) and E. sapporensis are newly described. Exetastes miniatus Uchida, 1928, E. longigenus Uchida, 1928, E. l. f. rebunensis Uchida, 1931 and E. chosensis Uchida, 1955 are newly synonymized under E. albiger Kriechbaumer, 1886 (syn. nov.). Exetastes murayamai Uchida, 1929 and E. m. var. keijoensis Uchida, 1929 are newly synonymized under E. ishikawensis Uchida, 1928 (syn. nov.). There are no valid records of E. fornicator fornicator (Fabricius, 1781) from Japan. Some new distribution records and a key to species of the three genera are also provided.
... The species of Charops reared from S. frugiperda in West Africa [this study] and East Africa [18,19] is possibly the same. However, the taxon cited in [18,19], Charops ater Szépligeti, is confusing [40]. Comparisons with the descriptions and type specimens of C. ater and other available African Charops species suggest that the species obtained from S. frugiperda in this study is likely undescribed. ...

The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, a moth originating from the American continent, has recently invaded most African countries, where it is seriously threatening food security as a pest of cereals. The current management methods rely heavily on the use of synthetic insecticides but there is a need for more sustainable control methods, including biological control. Surveys were conducted in two West African countries, Ghana and Benin, to determine the native parasitoid complex and assess parasitism rates of S. frugiperda. Samples of S. frugiperda eggs and larvae were collected in maize fields located in 56 and 90 localities of Ghana and Benin, respectively, from July 2018 to July 2019. Ten species were found parasitizing the pest, including two egg parasitoids, one egg-larval, five larval and two larval-pupal parasitoids. The two most abundant parasitoids in both countries were two Braconidae: the egg-larval parasitoid Chelonus bifoveolatus and the larval parasitoid Coccygidum luteum. Parasitism rates were determined in three Ghanaian regions and averages varied from 0% to 75% between sites and from 5% to 38% between regions. These data provide an important baseline for the development of various biological control options. The two egg parasitoids, Telenomus remus and Trichogramma sp. can be used in augmentative biological control and investigations should be conducted to assess how cultural practices can enhance the action of the main parasitoids, C. luteum and Ch. bifoveolatus, in the field. Understanding the parasitoid complex of S. frugiperda in Africa is also necessary before any development of classical biological controls involving the introduction of parasitoids from the Americas.

The present paper deals with an account of the update species list of aphid parasitoids (Aphidiinae: Braconidae) in India with examples of their biocontrol successes. Altogether, 157 aphidiine species under 23 genera are recognized as valid in India. Names of the available host aphids and associated plants are provided in this paper. These aphidiine species attack 180 aphid species infesting 225 plants; however, some of the aphidiines were recorded from sweeping without mentioning any plant hostname. Available data on the distribution of each species in different states and territories of India is also provided. Information on the success stories of biological control of 8 aphidiine species in relation to India, viz., Aphidius colemani (Viereck), Aphidius ervi Haliday, Aphidius matricariae Haliday, Aphidius smithi Sharma and Rao, Aphidius uzbekistanicus Luzhetzki, Binodoxys indicus (Subba Rao and Sharma), Diaereteilla rapae (M’Intosh), Kashmiria aphidis Starý and Bhagat are summarized.

The main objective of the present paper was to analyse and compare the patterns of molecular and morphological divergence of European parasitoid wasps belonging to the diverse genus Aphidius Nees, 1818. The maximum likelihood and maximum parsimony trees constructed by including 64 different haplotypes of the barcoding region of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) identified for 33 Aphidius species showed identical topology. A high level (99%) of bootstrap support was found for the phylogenetic line consisting of A. ribis Haliday, 1834, A. chaetosiphonis Tomanović & Petrović, 2011 and A. hortensis Marshall, 1896, and for the group consisting of A. colemani Vierck, 1912, A. transcaspicus Telenga, 1958, A. asteris Haliday, 1834 and A. platensis Brethes, 1913. The remaining lineages on the trees were not significantly supported. We applied the approach of geometric morphometrics to explore morphological divergences in forewing size. A significant difference of mean wing shape was found between Aphidius species. The observed low resolution of the mtCOI gene of morphologically and ecologically well-defined Aphidius species is probably due to species hybridisation followed by introgression of mtDNA. Despite low resolution of the phylogenetic tree, the permutation test for a phylogenetic signal in wing shape was statistically significant, indicating that phylogenetically more closely related species are more similar than unrelated ones. A clear agreement between molecular and morphological variation was determined only for the two phylogenetically well-resolved groups.

A checklist of world species of Microgastrinae parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is provided. A total of 81 genera and 2,999 extant species are recognized as valid, including 36 nominal species that are currently considered as species inquirendae . Two genera are synonymized under Apanteles . Nine lectotypes are designated. A total of 318 new combinations, three new replacement names, three species name amendments, and seven species status revised are proposed. Additionally, three species names are treated as nomina dubia , and 52 species names are considered as unavailable names (including 14 as nomina nuda ). A total of three extinct genera and 12 extinct species are also listed. Unlike in many previous treatments of the subfamily, tribal concepts are judged to be inadequate, so genera are listed alphabetically. Brief diagnoses of all Microgastrinae genera, as understood in this paper, are presented. Illustrations of all extant genera (at least one species per genus, usually more) are included to showcase morphological diversity. Primary types of Microgastrinae are deposited in 108 institutions worldwide, although 76% are concentrated in 17 collections. Localities of primary types, in 138 countries, are reported. Recorded species distributions are listed by biogeographical region and by country. Microgastrine wasps are recorded from all continents except Antarctica; specimens can be found in all major terrestrial ecosystems, from 82°N to 55°S, and from sea level up to at least 4,500 m a.s.l. The Oriental (46) and Neotropical (43) regions have the largest number of genera recorded, whereas the Palaearctic region (28) is the least diverse. Currently, the highest species richness is in the Palearctic region (827), due to more historical study there, followed by the Neotropical (768) and Oriental (752) regions, which are expected to be the most species rich. Based on ratios of Lepidoptera and Microgastrinae species from several areas, the actual world diversity of Microgastrinae is expected to be between 30,000–50,000 species; although these ratios were mostly based on data from temperate areas and thus must be treated with caution, the single tropical area included had a similar ratio to the temperate ones. Almost 45,000 specimens of Microgastrinae from 67 different genera (83% of microgastrine genera) have complete or partial DNA barcode sequences deposited in the Barcode of Life Data System; the DNA barcodes represent 3,545 putative species or Barcode Index Numbers (BINs), as estimated from the molecular data. Information on the number of sequences and BINs per genus are detailed in the checklist. Microgastrinae hosts are here considered to be restricted to Eulepidoptera, i.e., most of the Lepidoptera except for the four most basal superfamilies (Micropterigoidea, Eriocranioidea, Hepialoidea and Nepticuloidea), with all previous literature records of other insect orders and those primitive Lepidoptera lineages being considered incorrect. The following nomenclatural acts are proposed: 1) Two genera are synonymyzed under Apanteles : Cecidobracon Kieffer & Jörgensen, 1910, new synonym and Holcapanteles Cameron, 1905, new synonym ; 2) Nine lectotype designations are made for Alphomelon disputabile (Ashmead, 1900), Alphomelon nigriceps (Ashmead, 1900), Cotesia salebrosa (Marshall, 1885), Diolcogaster xanthaspis (Ashmead, 1900), Dolichogenidea ononidis (Marshall, 1889), Glyptapanteles acraeae (Wilkinson, 1932), Glyptapanteles guyanensis (Cameron, 1911), Glyptapanteles militaris (Walsh, 1861), and Pseudapanteles annulicornis Ashmead, 1900; 3) Three new replacement names are a) Diolcogaster aurangabadensis Fernandez-Triana, replacing Diolcogaster indicus (Rao & Chalikwar, 1970) [nec Diolcogaster indicus (Wilkinson, 1927)], b) Dolichogenidea incystatae Fernandez-Triana, replacing Dolichogenidea lobesia Liu & Chen, 2019 [nec Dolichogenidea lobesia Fagan-Jeffries & Austin, 2019], and c) Microplitis vitobiasi Fernandez-Triana, replacing Microplitis variicolor Tobias, 1964 [nec Microplitis varicolor Viereck, 1917]; 4) Three names amended are Apanteles irenecarrilloae Fernandez-Triana, 2014, Cotesia ayerzai (Brèthes, 1920), and Cotesia riverai (Porter, 1916); 5) Seven species have their status revised : Cotesia arctica (Thomson, 1895), Cotesia okamotoi (Watanabe, 1921), Cotesia ukrainica (Tobias, 1986), Dolichogenidea appellator (Telenga, 1949), Dolichogenidea murinanae (Capek & Zwölfer, 1957), Hypomicrogaster acarnas Nixon, 1965, and Nyereria nigricoxis (Wilkinson, 1932); 6) New combinations are

In this study, a total of 108 Aphidiinae species, belonging to 18 genera, associated with 240 aphid species in 16 countries of the Middle East and North Africa are reviewed. 743 host aphid-parasitoid associations are listed. New material was collected from various regions of Saudi Arabia during 2011–2013. Three species including Aphidius avenae Haliday, 1834, Aphidius platensis Brèthes, 1913 and Praon barbatum Mackauer, 1967 are first recorded for the fauna of this country. Lysiphlebus marismortui Mescheloff & Rosen, 1990 syn. nov. is classified as the junior synonym of Lysiphlebus confusus Tremblay & Eady, 1978. An illustrated up-to-date key to all known species of Aphidiinae that occur in the Middle East and North Africa is provided. The findings are discussed in relation to the overall parasitoid-aphid associations in the target investigated region.
