Extract

Three new species and one new genus of Eulophidae are described, namely, Wichmannia pictipennis sp.n., reared from small bark beetles living in Euphorbia in the Canary Islands, Myrmokata diparoides gen.et sp.n. which parasitises ants of the genus Crematogaster in Cameroun, and Colpixys gigas sp.n. which destroyed more than 80% of the larvae of a Languriid beetle in the stems of elephant grass in Ghana. The genera Wichmannia Ruschka and Colpixys Waterston previously each included only one species.
