Original description. Type: Oreiscelio sechellensis Kieffer, by monotypy and original designation. Kieffer, 1913: 223 (description); Muesebeck and Walkley, 1956: 377 (citation of type species); Sundholm, 1970: 375 (key to species); Masner, 1976: 16 (description); Johnson, 1992: 450 (catalog of world species).</p><p>Scelio (Oreiscelio) Kieffer, 1910b: 62, 73 (description, list of species, change to subgeneric status, keyed).</p><p>Oriscelio Kieffer, 1912: 58 (description); Kieffer, 1926: 266, 346 (description, keyed); Nixon, 1933: 290, 292 (description, keyed).</p><p>Original concept: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: B83E57E6-38E3-4EBB-A6E9-89917230A7FF</p><p>Diagnosis. Oreiscelio is distinguished from other genera of Scelionini sensu Masner (1976) by the combination of the bidentate or bispinose metascutellum, the presence of a transverse frontal carina, the strongly transverse antennomeres A4–A6, the developed inner propodeal projection, and the presence of an apically pointed S6 which is sometimes developed into a spine. Additionally, some species of Oreiscelio have a preocellar pit that may be conspicuous. Among the Platygastroidea, this structure was previously known only in the subfamily Telenominae (Bin and Dessart, 1983) . The “horizontal flaps” of the posterior margin of the propodeum were used by Nixon (1933) as one character diagnostic for this genus. However, one new species, O. paradoxus, has the outer projection of the propodeum rounded (Figs 92, 94) and the typical “flap” is not present.</p><p>Description.

S 4 in male smooth; S 6 in female pointed apically, sometimes with an apical spine extending beyond the apex of T6; sculpture of S6 punctate reticulate.</p><p>Comments. Oreiscelio can be distinguished from Heptascelio by the strongly transverse A4–A6, bidentate metascutellum, and the lack of conspicuous felt fields on the metasomal sterna (Johnson et al. 2007). Among the genera of the Scelionini, only Oreiscelio, some Scelio, and Heptascelio are known to have the conspicuous, elongate seta arising from the ventral side of the apex of A2. In Heptascelio this seta is usually present only in the males, while in Oreiscelio it is found in both sexes. Its function is unknown.</p><p>Two years after describing this genus, Kieffer (1912) published a description of Oriscelio, labelling it as a new genus, with the sole species Oriscelio seychellensis, it also labelled as a new species. Muesebeck and Walkley (1956) treated these names as emendations of the names Oreiscelio and O. sechellensis, respectively. We do not consider Kieffer’s 1912 description of Oriscelio to be an emendation because it makes no mention of the 1910 publication, or the names therein, and thus does not fulfill article 33.2 of the Code. Consequently, we agree with Masner (1976) that the similar generic name was an error by Kieffer and do not render Oriscelio as available.</p><p>Link to distribution map. 10 Oreiscelio is found widely through sub-Saharan Africa, as well as Madagascar, the Seychelles, and the Arabian Peninsula.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038687BBFFBEFFC3FF0DFA56D0B2FC6B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Th e concave carina that delimits the subapical portion of T6 (Fig. 42) serves well to identify this species. It may be reliably separated from O. rugosus by the coarse sculpture of the gena (Fig. 1), from O. turneri by the subequal size of the mandibular teeth, and from O. coracinus by the lack of an anterior pronotal pit (Fig. 8) and very faint or absent divergent carinae on the frons above the interantennal process (Fig. 41). Oreiscelio badius can be separated from O. zulu by the presence of a dorsal flange on the interantennal process (Fig. 131, 132) in the latter.</p><p>Etymology.

This widespread species is variable in a number of characters, including body length, the size of the preocellar pit, and the presence of a submarginal ridge on T1. This species is colored dark brown to black. As in O. turneri, the northern specimens tend to be blacker than those of Zimbabwe, but those from South Africa are typically very dark. Th e specimens from Cameroon, Nigeria, Yemen and some from Malawi have the preocellar pit conspicuously large (Fig. 17). Th ey are here treated as part of O. coracinus due to the congruence of other characters and the relatively small series that they comprise. Th is species is quite similar in appearance to O. turneri, and can be reliably separated by the subequal size of the mandibular teeth.</p><p>Etymology.

One specimen from the Central African Republic shares the majority of its characters with O. coracinus but it has yellow antennomeres 2-6, and yellow femora, tibiae, and tarsomeres. We choose not to describe this as a new species due to the limited material and the possibility that the differences might be intraspecific. For</p><p>this reason, this specimen is determined as O. coracinus but is excluded from the type series. Images of this specimen are available at the image database of Th e Ohio State University (purl.oclc.org/NET/ hymenoptera /specimage).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/038687BBFFA9FFDFFF0DFB2CD03FFEE3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Oreiscelio cultrarius is similar to O. gryphus, O. majikununuensis, and O. coracinus, and it is likely to be one of the more diffi cult species to identify. The grooved pronotol cervical sulcus (Fig. 7), large anterior pit of the pronotum (Fig. 7), and lack of laterally divergent carinae above the interantennal process (Fig. 53) serve well to separate this species from the others. Oreiscelio cultrarius has somewhat large spines on the metascutellum that are clearly separated from each other. This character is useful to confirm the identity of this species, but caution is urged given the variability present in this structure among other species of Oreiscelio .</p><p>Etymology. The epithet cultrarius meaning, “slayer of the sacrificial victim”, is a dramatic interpretation of the parasitoid life history.</p><p>Link to distribution map. 25</p><p>Material examined.

Variability in the color of the legs, antennae, and mandibles loosely correlates with size: smaller specimens tend to be darker. Th is species is unlikely to be confused with O. scapularis or O. rostratus, both of which are elongate species. However, larger specimens often appear similar to O. alluaudi, and while the characters that separate them are numerous, they can be subtle. Th e preocellar pit is absent in females of O. naevus and is found very rarely in males as a small depression. Females of O. alluaudi always have a preocellar pit (Fig. 15), but it may be small and difficult to see. Oreiscelio naevus has an anterior pit of the pronotum that is small (Fig. 10) and the posterior margin of the ventral pronotum lacks a percurrent sulcus (Fig. 10). Oreiscelio alluaudi has a large, somewhat conspicuous, anterior pit of the pronotum (Fig. 9), and the sulcus along the posterior margin of the ventral pronotum extends around the antespiracular patch (Fig. 9). Oreiscelio naevus lacks a median keel on S1 (Fig. 86) and has a setose ventral cell of the metapleural triangle (as in Fig. 5). Oreiscelio alluadi has a thin, straight median keel on S1 (Fig. 31) and the ventral cell of metapleural triangle has at most 3 very small setae (Fig. 6).</p><p>Etymology.

Among the continental species the dorsally enlarged interantennal process is similar to that of O. iommii, which is easily distinguishable from O. zulu by its entirely smooth mesopleuron.</p><p>Etymology.

Mesopleural carina: present as one or two carinae. Sculpture of ventral mesepisternum: foveate, with smooth area surrounded by small foveae. Pilosity of metapleural triangle in female: present as many short fine white setae. Sculpture of ventral area of metapleuron: smooth, foveate reticulate, foveate reticulate, with slightly appressed ridges.</p><p>Metasoma: Submarginal ridge on T1: percurrent, well-defined, indicated by an irregular ridge. Sublateral carina on T2: present in anterior half. Sculpture of T2–T3: reticulate rugose, longitudinally strigose with rugose interstices.

Sculpture of marginal depression of S 3 in female: mostly smooth, with scattered punctures or shallow rugulae. Sculpture of marginal depression of S 4 in female: mostly smooth with scattered punctures or shallow rugulae. Sculpture of marginal depression of S 5 in female: rugulose, mostly smooth with scattered punctures. Apical spine on S 6 in female: not extending beyond apex of T6 and not visible in dorsal view.</p><p>Diagnosis. Oreiscelio zuzkae is a widespread species, extending from Guinea east to Tanzania and south to South Africa. It is not particularly similar to any other continental species and may be separated from them by its medially furrowed mesoscutellum (Fig. 136), lack of a spine on S6 (Fig. 134) and the simple interantennal process (Fig. 137). It shares the most characters with O. sechellensis from which it can be separated by the longitudinally reticulate sculpture of the sternites (Fig. 138).</p><p>Etymology.
