Abstract

In the present study, we describe and illustrate several new taxa of the subfamily Ichneumoninae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) from Gabon (Central Africa) and one species from Sierra Leone (West Africa). Five new species are hereby described: Adelotropis gabonense nov.sp., Adelotropis spinosus nov. sp., Compsophorus coxator nov. sp., Compsophorus fuscopetiolaris nov. sp. and Compsophorus paracorrugata nov. sp. Two new subspecies are proposed: Compsophorus corrugata gabonense nov. ssp. and Ctenocalus maculipennis rufopetiolaris nov. ssp. The male of Magwengiella congica Heinrich, 1937, is hereby described for the first time. For the genus Adelotropis Waterston we provide a determination key for the known species.
