Twenty four new species are described: P. avispas\ sp. nov., P. bororo sp. nov., P. botocudo sp. nov., P. brunniventris sp. nov., P. cerdai sp. nov., P. daedalus sp. nov., P. dispar sp. nov., P. dominica sp. nov., P. elongatus sp. nov., P. glabroscutum sp. nov., P. guyanensis sp. nov., P. haliti sp. nov., P. intermedius sp. nov., P. maracas sp. nov., P. nigriceps sp. nov., P. nitidus sp. nov., P. nolli sp. nov., P. peruanus\ sp. nov., P. plaumanni sp. nov., P. propodealis sp. nov., P. rondoni sp. nov., P. subtristis sp. nov., P. szepligetii sp. nov., and P. trinidad sp. nov. Moreover, P .brasiliensis Sz\épligeti, 1902, P. columbianus Enderlein, 1912, P. ferrugineus (Enderlein, 1920), P. niger Marsh 2002, P. pardalotus Marsh 2002, P. rojasi Marsh 2002, P. tundisii Felix et Penteado-Dias, 2004 and P. variegatus Marsh 2002 are redescribed. The following new synonyms are proposed: Lamquetia Braet, Barbalho et Achterberg, 2003 under Pedinotus Sz\épligeti, 1902 (syn. nov.); L. marshi Braet et Barbalho, 2003 and P. fasciatus\ Castro, Nunes et Penteado-Dias, 2010 under P. pardalotus Marsh, 2003 (syn. nov.). The following new combination is suggested: P. rufus (Braet et van Achterberg, 2003), comb. nov. (from Lamquetia rufa). A key to the Neotropical species of Pedinotus is provided.\"

Eight species of Cheloninae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) are newly described: Ascogaster kibalensis Braet sp. nov., Chelonus\ (Chelonus) mayi Braet \& Rousse sp. nov., Chelonus (Microchelonus) madagasakarensis Braet \& Rousse sp. nov., Chelonus\ (Microchelonus) matilei Braet \& Rousse sp. nov. Chelonus (Microchelonus) merdicus Rousse \& Braet sp. nov., Odontosphaeropyx gracilis Braet sp. nov., O. leucocoxus Braet sp. nov., and Phanerotomella erena Braet sp. nov. They are all from the\ Malagasy subregion and several of them share the presence of spine-like apophyses on the propodeum. This character is categorized for future phylogenetic use. The genus Pachychelonus Brues, 1924 is recognized as junior synonym of the genus Odontosphaeropyx Cameron, 1910. Three new combinations are proposed Odontosphaeropyx\ maximus (Zettel, 2002) comb. nov., O.\ fulviventris (Brues, 1924) comb. nov. and O. flavifasciatus (Zettel, 1990a) comb. nov. for Pachychelonus maximus Zettel, 2002,\ P. fulviventris Brues, 1924 and P. flavifasciatus Zettel, 1990a, respectively. Updated keys of species Phanerotomella and Odontosphaeropyx are provided. New distribution data about Cheloninae from Africa are also given.

Efforts to use biological control as one strategy in an integrated pest management approach have been impeded by a poor understanding of the endoparasitoids, particularly species of the genera Leiophron Nees and Peristenus Foerster (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) many of which parasitize the nymphal stages of Lygus, among other Miridae. The taxonomy of Leiophron and Peristenus species associated with agricultural habitats is reviewed based on reared material contributed by numerous researchers. Sixteen species of the two genera were found parasitizing Lygus nymphs, including the following eight species described as new, Leiophron australis Goulet, L. simoni Goulet, Peristenus braunae Goulet, P. broadbenti Goulet, P. carcamoi Goulet, P. dayi Goulet, P. gillespiei Goulet and P. otaniae Goulet. The species are differentiated in a key, described and illustrated. Two names are newly placed in synonymy, L. trigonotylidis Loan, 1974 under Leiophron lygivorus (Loan 1970) and Brachistes nocturnus Viereck, 1905 under P. mellipes (Cresson 1872). Euphorus mellipes Cresson is removed from synonymy with P. pallipes (Curtis). Most of the endoparasitoid species are known to be associated only with Lygus spp. and appear to be distinct in their distribution and their biology. Analysis of the endoparasitoid complex in southern Quebec shows that of the six species that occur in alfalfa and hay fields, four species use Lygus lineolaris (Palisot) as the main host. The introduced Peristenus digoneutis Loan has recently established in southern Quebec and although its numbers have increased substantially it has not yet had an evident impact on reducing L. lineolaris population levels.}, keywords = {biology, description, economic impact, key, Leiophron, Lygus, Nearctic, Peristenus}, author = {Goulet, Henri and Mason, PG} }
