Abstract - Description of eleven new braconid species from both the Old and the New World: Doryctinae: Ecphylus topali sp. n. (India); Exothecinae: Proavga attenuata sp. n. (Australia); Blacinae: Blacus (Tarpheion) Concors sp. n. (India), Blacus (Ganychorus) topali sp. n. (India); Alysiinae: Afysia (Afysia) luteostigma sp. n. (Romania); Cheloniriae: Chelonus pictus sp. n. (Afghanistan), Chelonus setaceus sp. n. (Iran); Microgastrinae: Napamus zomborii gen. et sp. n. (Armenia), Protapantelespraecipuus sp. n. (Italy); Miracinae: Mirax topali sp. n. (Argentina) and Helconinae: Diospüus contractus sp. n. (Australia). Creation of two new genera: (1) Napamus is presented for the species of vipio species-group (type species: Apanteles vipio REINHARD, 1880, Palaearctic Region), (2) Depelbus is erected for the species biroi (Australia) originally assigned to the genus Diospilus by SZEPLIGETI (1905). Faunistic contributions of 13 Blacus species distributed in India and 1 Proavga species in Australia are given. With 79 figures. subfamily Doryctinae / Ecphylini Ecphylus topali sp. n. $ (Figs 1-2) Description of the holotype ?. - Body 1.8 mm long. Head in dorsal view (Fig. 1) cubic, 1.45 times as broad as long, eye 1.22 times as long as temple (or temple 0.81 times as long as eye), latter rounded, occiput with strong carination. Eye in lateral view nearly round, 1.55 times as long as high, temple slightly broadening ventrally and its widest section behind eye somewhat wider than width of eye. Head polished. - Antenna filiform and somewhat longer than body, with 15 antennomeres, second flagellomere 1.5 times as long as first flagellomere, second flagellomere 7.5 times as long as broad apically, further ones gradually shortening so that penultimate flagellomere five times as long as broad. Mesosoma in lateral view elongated, 1.96 times as long as high. Notaulix distinct on anterior declivous part of mesonotum, on disc of mesonotum indistinct, mesonotum itself (anteriorly) almost smooth and shiny. Scutellum polished. Sternaulix distinct, crenulo-rugulose; mesopleuron polished. Propodeum anteriorly almost smooth, shiny, posteriorly rugo-rugulose, dull. - Hind femur four times as long as broad somewhat distally from its middle. Hind tibia a bit longer than hind tarsus, hind basitarsus as long as tarsal segments 2-4. Fore wing as long as body. Pterostigma five times as long as wide, issuing radial vein distally from its middle; rl 1.4 times as long as width of pterostigma, r2 reaching almost tip of wing. N. bas. issuing n cu. from its middle; cu3 as long as cul. Metasoma as long as head and mesosoma together. First tergite (Fig. 2) somewhat (i.e. 1.1 times) longer than wide at hind, from its base evenly broadening posteriorly, pair of spiracles before its middle, pair of converging keels merging beyond middle of tergite into longitudinal striation of tergite. Second and further tergites polished. - Ovipositor sheath long, in lateral view as long as hind tibia and basitarsus.
