A new enigmatic genus perhaps belonging to the braconid wasp subfamily Pambolinae, Zeachremylus gen. nov. (type species Z. wardi sp. nov.), is described from New Zealand. The taxonomic position of this new genus is discussed.

Braconidae is one of the insect families with more diversity in the world. Pambolinae is one of the most distinctive subfamilies because the spines present on the propodeum. In this note, Pambolus oblongispina Papp is a new record for Mexico, collected in the State of Tamaulipas. This species was previously known only from Honduras.

Pambolus albospina sp. n. and Pambolus rastafari sp. n. are described from Jamaica. Pambolus rastafari can be distinguished from all other Neotropical species of the genus by its antennal color pattern and the smooth sculpture of the head and mesoscutum. Pambolus albospina is morphologically close to P. hemitaeniatus van Achterberg, from which it can be distinguished by the number of white antennal segments and the sculpture on the first metasomal tergite. These two new species constitute the first records of the genus for the Caribbean Islands. Fil: Martinez, Juan Jose. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.

Ten new species of Braconidae (Hymenoptera) from French Guyana, Suriname and Panama are described and illustrated. Seven species of the genus Pambolus Haliday, 1836, (Pambolinae: P. pappi spec. nov., and P. rufus spec. nov. from French Guyana, P. granulatus spec. nov. from Suriname, P. duplotaeniatus spec. nov., P. hemitaeniatus spec. nov., P. micropennis spec. nov., and P. microstriatus spec. nov. from Panama) and three species of the genus Phaenocarpa Foerster, 1862 (Alysiinae: P. acarinata spec. nov. and P. insolita spec. nov. from French Guyana, and P. areolata spec. nov. from Panama). Keys to the Neotropical species of both genera are given. Some data on the distribution of other Neotropical species of the genera Phaenocarpa, Idiasta Foerster and Gnathopleura Wharton are added.

A new genus of the subfamily Pambolinae (Braconidae) is reported from Peru (Carinichremylus gen. nov.; type species: Carinichremylus peleopodae spec. nov.), illustrated and described. The type species has been reared from a Peleopoda spec. (Lepidoptera: Oecophoridae). The new genus is closely related to the Australian genus Chremylomorpha Belokobylskij, 1986.

The new Neotropical doryctine genus Doryctopambolus gen. n. is erected to contain D. pilcomayensis (van Achterberg & Braet, 2004), comb. n., which was previously placed within Pambolus (Pambolinae), as well as three new species, D. clebschi sp. n., D. dominicanus sp. n. and D. sarochensis sp. n. Membersof this new genus are mainly characterised by the presence of at least one pair of conspicuous propodeal apico-lateral projections, which are similar to those present in all members of Pambolinae and in species of three Australasian doryctine genera. We generated DNA barcoding sequences for the three newly described species. We discuss the morphological similarity between species of the Australasian Echinodoryctes Belokobylskij, Iqbal & Austin and Doryctopambolus. A key for the described species of Doryctopambolus is provided. Fil: Nunes, Juliano Fiorelini. Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais; Brasil Fil: Zaldívar Riverón, Alejandro.

In this paper, some faunistic results about the subfamilies Exothecinae, Hormiinae, Pambolinae and Rhyssalinae from Spain are presented. The genera Acrisis, Avga, Colastes, Noserus and Xenarcha are new record to the Spanish fauna, and eight species are a novelty. A updated check-list of all recorded species from Spain of these subfamilies is provided. Hormiopterus dusmeti Docavo, 1960 is a new synonym of Hormius moniliatus (Nees, 1812)., Dans ce travail les auteurs présentent les résultats de l'étude faunistique des sous-familles Exothecinae, Hormiinae, Pambolinae et Rhyssalinae d'Espagne. Ils citent les genres Acrisis, Avga, Colastes, Noserus et Xenarcha comme nouveaux pour la faune ibérique. Des onze espèces étudiées, huit n'avaient pas encore été signalées d'Espagne.
