First record of Odontosphaeropyx Cameron, 1910 from the oriental region with description of a new species from Thailand (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Cheloninae)

Abstract

Odontosphaeropyx matasi Quicke & Butcher, sp. n. from Thailand is described and illustrated. The new species represents the first known record of Odontosphaeropyx from outside of the Afrotropical Region. A key is provided to separate it from the apparently closely related O. flavifasciatus Zettel, 1990, with which it shares almost identical colouration, very different from the other five known species.
