            <p> Genus  Pristomerus Curtis, 1836 (definition after Townes 1971) </p>
            <p>Diagnosis</p>
            <p>Body moderately slender, metasoma moderately to strongly compressed. Occipital carina usually complete. Females (often) and males (nearly always) with hind femur swollen and bearing a tooth on lower side. Forewing with areolet open (3rs–m absent), vein Rs&amp;M opposite or a little basal to vein cu–a, and 2rs–m basal to 2m–cu by at least 2rs–m length. Hindwing with vein Cu1 spectral. Tergite 1 moderately slender, glymma hardly distinct. Lower edges of tergite 1 separated and parallel. Epipleura of tergite 2 narrow, separated by a crease and turned under. Thyridium present, transverse or subcircular, located in basal 0.2 of tergite 2. Ovipositor tip most often sinuate. Apex of male gonosquama rounded.</p>
            <p>Remarks</p>
            <p> Pristomerus is a large genus of 100 species worldwide (Yu et al. 2012). Most species are tropical. Hosts include various small  Lepidoptera living in tunnels, leaf rolls, buds and other shelters. This genus is usually well differentiated from the New World genus  Xiphosomella Szépligeti by the position of the thyridiae on tergite 2, which in  Pristomerus are separated from the anterior margin by at most their own diameter, and most usually further back in  Xiphosomella . Additionally, the forewing areolet is always open and the ovipositor tip nearly always sinuate in  Pristomerus . As stated by Gauld (2000) this combination of features sometimes fails to unambiguously differentiate from  Pristomerus some species in the extreme end of the variation range of  Xiphosomella . Subsequently, both genera are susceptible to be eventually merged in absence of clearer autapomorphies. </p>

            <p>Female</p>
            <p>LENGTH. 4.1, 4.2 (3.3–4.7) (10 specimens).</p>
            <p>HEAD. Temple short, head distinctly constricted behind eyes. Vertex finely granulate. Face shining, sparsely punctate. Clypeus smooth, shining, transverse. Malar line short. Mandible short and stout. Ocellar triangle acute. Antenna with 29–32 flagellomeres.</p>
            <p>MESOSOMA. Stout, 1.5–1.7 x longer than high. Pronotum smooth, shining, the antero-ventral part with an irregular surface, epomia raising dorsally. Mesonotum densely punctate-granulate, its apical 1/5 smooth. Mesopleuron shining and densely punctate. Metapleuron punctate-granulate. Scuto-scutellar groove smooth, sometimes with weak longitudinal wrinkles. Scutellum slightly convex, smooth with sparse and fine punctures. Propodeum strongly carinated, moderately punctate and shining. Area basalis short, petiolate, opposite or truncate. Area superomedia long, 1.9–2.7 x longer than wide (usually about 2), area petiolaris wider and more or less wrinkled apically. Hind femur moderately slender, without femoral tooth. Fore wing with 2rs–m basal to 2m–cu by 2 x its length.</p>
            <p>METASOMA. Tergites 1–3 finely aciculate. Thyridia oval to subcircular. Ovipositor moderately long.</p>
            <p>COLOR. Brownish orange overall. Head ivory white. Blackish brown: antennae, center of frons, vertex and occiput. A pair of black spots generally extends from vertex through outer orbits. Face more or less mid–longitudinally infuscate. Darker specimens also bear black maculae on mesoscutum and propodeum. Tergites 1–3 black-brown with base of tergite 1 lighter (yellow to orange). Thyridia yellow. Hind tarsus infuscate. Ovipositor sheath blackish. Wings hyaline, pterostigma dark brown to testaceous.</p>
            <p>Male</p>
            <p>Length: 3.8 (3.5–4.2) (10 specimens). Face widened ventrally, ocelli enlarged and very close to eyes posteriorly (OOL = 0.2) except for 22 males from Ankaratra and 1 from Rogez whose ocelli are smaller (OOL = 0.5). Hind femur swollen, bearing an acute tooth followed by a row of denticles. Otherwise similar to female.</p>
            <p>Host records</p>
            <p> Maliarpha separatella Ragonot (  Lepidoptera :  Pyralidae ) (Polaszek et al. 1994). </p>
            <p>Distribution</p>
            <p>Madagascar (widely distributed).</p>
            <p>Remarks</p>
            <p> The large series of specimens available in Seyrig’s collection shows considerable variation with respect to the description of  P. caris by Polaszek et al. (1994). The propodeum carination is highly variable, with area basalis petiolate to truncate, and area superomedia which greatly varies in length. Color also varies from lighter specimens with reduced brownish markings to darker ones with larger black spots on face, vertex, mesoscutum and propodeum. We furthermore observed two male groups with differently sized ocelli (Fig. 4C, D). Such variability is however not correlated with any other plastic or geographical difference. These specimens might represent a species complex whose study needs more comprehensive molecular and morphometric investigations. </p>

            <p>Description</p>
            <p>Female</p>
            <p>LENGTH. 5.4, 4.9 (4.2–5.4) (10 specimens).</p>
            <p>HEAD. Strongly constricted behind eyes. Temple short. Face slightly widened ventrally. Vertex and lateral margin of frons granulate, face more densely punctate centrally than laterally. Clypeus transverse, almost smooth. Mandible with teeth subequal; malar line rather short. Antenna with 32–35 flagellomeres.</p>
            <p>MESOSOMA. Moderately elongate, nearly 2 x longer than high. Pronotum shining, sparsely and superficially punctate anteriorly. Mesoscutum densely punctate-granulate, some punctures almost confluent. Scutoscutellar groove almost smooth. Scutellum shining, moderately punctate. Mesopleuron shining, densely punctate, speculum smooth. Metapleuron densely punctate-granulate. Propodeum shining, densely punctate laterally. Area basalis opposite or truncate, area superomedia about 2.5 x longer than wide. Area petiolaris transversally wrinkled. Hind femur with a distinct small tooth.</p>
            <p>METASOMA. Tergites 1–2 finely aciculate. Tergite 2 about 2 x as long as apically wide. Thyridia rounded, separated from each other by about 4 x their diameter. Ovipositor slightly up-curved, its apical 1/3 sinuate.</p>
            <p>COLOR. Body orange with yellow markings. Antenna brown, scape and pedicel orange. Head yellow with central part of frons, vertex and occiput orange. Mesosoma orange except yellow parts: anterior part of pronotum, notauli, lateral margin of mesoscutum, scutellum, tegula, subalar prominence, postero-ventral corner of mesopleuron, posterior part of metapleuron, and propodeum. Legs orange, apex of coxae and all trochanters yellow. Wings hyaline, pterostigma light brown. Mesosoma orange, the base of tergite 2 sometimes infuscate centrally.</p>
            <p>Male</p>
            <p>LENGTH: 5.3. (4.2–5.9) (10 specimens). Median lobe of mesoscutum moderately punctate-granulate anteriorly, remainder of mesonotum almost smooth. Face widened ventrally and distinctly larger than frons. Posterior ocellus close to eyes (OOL = 0.3). Hind femur swollen, femoral tooth long and sharp, followed by a row of small denticles. Otherwise similar to female.</p>
            <p>Host records</p>
            <p> Five specimens collected by B. Sigwald in 1962 emerged from lycaenid cocoons on  Crotalaria sp. (Leguminosae); three of these cocoons have been found inside pods (new host record). </p>
            <p>Remarks</p>
            <p>This species exhibits a moderate variability in the color pattern, especially on the extension of the dark markings on mesosoma and metasoma. The specimens from Madagascar are noticeably lighter than those from mainland Africa, especially Namibia.</p>
            <p>Distribution</p>
            <p>Madagascar (Toliara and Toamasina province) (new distribution record). Mozambique and Senegal.</p>

            <p>Fig. 8</p>
            <p>Diagnosis</p>
            <p>Small species; face orange; general coloration orange; face moderately and finely punctate, clypeus transverse and sparsely punctate; mesoscutum densely punctate medially, apical margin of lateral lobe smooth, scutellum smooth; area superomedia about 2 x longer than wide; female femoral tooth absent; ovipositor moderately long, apically sinuate; POL 0.8; OOL 1.3; CT 2.0; ML 0.6; OT 1.5–1.8; FFT 0.</p>
            <p>Differential diagnosis</p>
            <p> The combination of small size, orange face, absence of femoral tooth in female and hardly enlarged ocelli in male makes this species readily distinguishable from any other in Madagascar but  P. moramora . Both may be differentiated by characters given in the key. </p>

            <p>Description</p>
            <p>Female</p>
            <p>LENGTH. 3.5, 3.2 (2.8–3.5) (10 specimens).</p>
            <p>HEAD. Strongly constricted behind eyes. Temple short and rounded. Ocellar triangle anteriorly acute. Face slightly narrowed ventrally. Frons and vertex shallowly punctate-granulate, face shining, sparsely punctate. Clypeus transverse, almost smooth. Mandible short and stout, teeth subequal, malar line short. Antenna with 27–29 flagellomeres.</p>
            <p>MESOSOMA. Slightly elongate, about 1.7 x longer than high. Pronotum almost smooth. Remaining of mesonotum covered with short white adpressed hairs. Mesoscutum shining, densely to moderately punctate-granulate, smoother posteriorly. Scuto-scutellar groove with longitudinal striation. Scutellum shining, sparsely punctate, its vertical posterior margin longitudinally striate. Mesopleuron and metapleuron shining and moderately punctate, speculum smooth. Propodeum shining, sparsely punctate, area petiolaris transversally wrinkled posteriorly. Area basalis opposite, sometimes petiolate or shortly truncate, area superomedia 2.5 x longer than wide, distinctly narrower and about as long as area petiolaris. Legs: femoral tooth absent.</p>
            <p>METASOMA. Post-petiole and tergite 2 finely aciculate, the following tergites alutaceous. Tergite 2 a little shorter than tergite 1, about 2.5 x longer than apically wide. Thyridia narrow, elongate oval. Ovipositor rather long and slightly sinuate at apex.</p>
            <p>COLOR. Antenna brown, scape and pedicel orange ventrally. Head and mesosoma yellowish-orange with more or less extended brown markings. Face, inner orbits and gena yellow. Brown: frons, ocellar triangle, lobes of mesonotum, a large macula on mesopleuron and metapleuron, scuto-scutellar groove, dorsal face (and sometimes lateral margins) of scutellum, basal part of propodeum, including entire area superomedia and areae dentiparae. In some individuals, the median lobe of mesoscutum, and the scutellum are light brown. Legs yellowish-orange, front and mid trochanters white. Hind leg with coxa, femur, basal and apical margins of tibia, and tarsus infuscate, hind tibia mid-dorsally white. Wings hyaline, pterostigma brown. Metasoma brown, base of tergite 1 orange, post-petiole and other tergites dorsally dark brown and more or less marked with orange posteriorly. Thyridia yellow. Ovipositor sheath brown.</p>
            <p>Male</p>
            <p>Length: 3.1 (2.6–3.5) (6 specimens). Posterior ocelli equally distant from each other as from eye (POL = OOL = 1.0). Face not narrowed ventrally. Hind femur swollen, femoral tooth long, followed by a row of denticles. Otherwise similar to female.</p>
            <p>Remarks</p>
            <p> Five specimens (4 ♀♀, 1 ♂) with a larger (L: 3.7–3.9) and lighter body have been related to  P. moramora but not included in the type series: they have identical ocellar indices, the same number of flagellomeres and a similar microsculpture; however, the base of petiole is yellow, the mesosoma and metasoma from the fourth tergite are entirely orange, and the ovipositor is longer (OT = 1.9–2), perhaps due to allometry. </p>

            <p>Fig. 15</p>
            <p>Diagnosis</p>
            <p>Moderately large species; face ivory white; head white and black, remainder of body orange with tergites 1–3 infuscate; face finely and sparsely punctate; clypeus slightly transverse, smooth; mesoscutum moderately punctate-granulate, scutellum sparsely punctate; area superomedia about 3 x longer than wide; female femoral tooth absent or appearing as a weak angulation; ovipositor moderately short, apically sinuate; POL 0.5; OOL 1.0; CT 1.4; ML 0.5; OT 1.3–1.4; FFT 0.</p>
            <p>Differential diagnosis</p>
            <p> Species superficially close to  P. caris and related species with white face.  Pristomerus vahaza sp. nov. may be distinguished by the combination of an elongate mesosoma, a brown pterostigma and a relatively short ovipositor. The lateral ocellus in male is distinctly more distant from eye margins (OOL = 0.6) than in  P. hansoni sp. nov. and  P. caris (OOL = 0.2). </p>
            <p>Etymology</p>
            <p>Refers to the white face: “vahaza” is the Malagasy word for pale foreigners.</p>
