Abstract

Tanaoscelio cornopis n. gen. and n. sp. (Scelionidae: Scelioninae) is described from Trinidad, W.I. Specimens were reared from eggs of a grasshopper, Cornops longicorne (Bruner) (Orthoptera: Acrididae), found in leaf petioles of water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms. (Monocotyledones: Pontederiaceae). The new genus is compared with the related genus Scelio Latreille.
