Book Synopsis Systematics of the parasitic wasp genus Oxyscelio Kieffer (Hymenoptera, Platygastridae s.l.), part II: the Australian and southwest Pacific fauna by : Roger A. Burks
Book excerpt: This issue contains the second of a planned set of three publications greatly expanding knowledge of the platygastroid genus Oxyscelio Kieffer. We recognize 80 species in Australia and the southwest Pacific, 67 of which are described here as new species. We divided these species into 9 species groups in order to highlight shared morphological features. A total of 412 specimen photographs are provided to aid in specimen identification. Newly discovered species are described from mainland Australia, Fiji, Lord Howe Island, New Britain, New Caledonia, New Guinea, Tasmania, and Vanuatu.
