KEY TO THE GENERA OF DIOSPILINI IN AUSTRALIA 1 (2) N cu. issuing from n. bas., latter vein joining to parastigma by a short vein (1-SR or n. bas. "petioled"), i.e. n. bas. and n. cu. issuing not directly from parastigma; rl nearly as long as r2 (Fig. 64). - One species in Australia: W. bicolor SZEPLIGETI, 1904

10 Westwoodiella SZEPLIGETI, 1904

11 2 (1) N. cu. and n. bas. issuing directly from parastigma; rl distinctly shorter than r2 (Figs 66, 75). 3 (4) Second segment of maxillar palp flattened. Clypeus angularly produced medially. - One species in New Zealand: A. hudsoni TURNER, 1922 (taxonomic position needs confirmation) Aspigonus WESMAEL, 1835 4 (3) Second segment of maxillar palp not flattened. Clypeus not produced angularly, at most with a median denticule (Fig. 69). 5 (6) Second flagellomere somewhat though distinctly longer than first flagellomere (Fig. 65). First discoidal cell (DI) wide, 1.5 times as wide as high (Fig. 66: see arrows). Body large, its length above 5 mm. - One species in Australia: D. biroi (SZEPLIGETI, 1902) Depelbus gen. n. 6 (5) Second flagellomere at most as long as, usually shorter than (Fig. 73), first flagellomere. First discoidal cell (DI) less wide, about as wide as high (Fig. 75: see arrows). Body small, at most 5 mm long. - Three species in Australia Diospilus HALIDAY, 1833 Depelbus gen. n. Description. - Second flagellomere somewhat though distinctly longer than first flagellomere (Fig. 65). First discoidal cell (DI) at least 1.5 times as wide as high (Fig. 66). Pair of tentorial pits deep. Sternaulix distinct and crenulated. rl distinctly shorter than r2, Cu2 rhombus-formed (like that of Diospilus). Related to the genus Diospilus HALIDAY, the distinction of the two taxa is detailed in the key compiled for the diospiline genera of the Australian Region (see before). Type species: Diospilus biroi SZEPLIGETI, 1902 (monotypic and original designation). Etymology. - The generic name "Depelbus" is a made-up name, gender masculine. Depelbus biroi (SZEPLIGETI) ó\ comb. n. Diospilus biroi SZEPLIGETI, 1902: Természetr. Fiiz. 25: 81 d, type locality: "New-Guinea: Sattelberg", holotype is in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. - Holotype examined. Description of the holotype d. - Body 10 mm long. Head in dorsal view (Fig. 67) less transverse, 1.76 times as broad as long, eye somewhat protruding and just longer than temple, latter rounded, occiput weakly excavated. Ocelli very near to each other, distance between them clearly shorter than diameter of an ocellus. PARROTT (1953: 198) reported a second Westwoodiella species as W. ruficeps BRULLÉ (originally described as Westwoodia ruficeps) from Tasmania, however, it is an ichneumonid species (subfamily Scolobatinae) (see also TOWNES et al. 1961: 213). Recently the genus was transferred to the subfamily Homolobinae (VAN ACHTERBERG 1992: 363-365).
