Abstract:

<p>Several New taxa collected in Papua New Guinea are described as new and partially illustrated: Pedinoplura christinae sp.n. (Braconinae), Chelonus (Areselonus) missai sp. n. and C. (A.) minutissima sp. n. (Cheloninae). Another species of Pedinopleura, near P. christinae sp. n., is also illustrated. P. australiensis is recorded for the first time for the country. The subgenus Areselonus subgen.n. is established to group the species of Chelonus that share the pr&eacute;sence of a dorso-apical spine on the carapace. The idnetification keys to the new taxa are given.</p>
