Abstract

In Trichospilus (pupal parasites of Lepidoptera) the species are keyed out, T. ferrierei sp.n. is described from Uganda, T. vorax sp.n. from Ivory Coast (also Angola and the Kenya-Ugandan border) and T. boops sp.n. from Kenya. The known data on the South Asiatic T. pupivora Ferrière and T. diatraeae Kurian & Margabandhu are reviewed. Similarly the Cotterellia species (parasites of Hispine and Lepidopterous leaf-miners) are keyed out, and C. nitifrons sp.n. from West Malaysia and C. javana sp.n. from Java are described. The other species of the genus are annotated, including the African C. lamellata (Kerrich) comb.n. (from Chrysocharis) and C. podagrica Waterston, the Madagascan and East African C. pilosa (Risbec) comb.n. (from Eurycranium, Pteromalidae), the Ceylonese C. lankensis Kerrich and the mainly New Guinean C. insularis Kerrich.
