We found that many species or species groups of Afrotropical Scelio are morphologically Welcome to Afrotropical Pteromalidae. Species noted as 'introduced' are considered to be introduced into at least one country within the region (but may be native in other countries). The following species and subspecies are known from the Afrotropical Region. A noteworthy fact is the early (about 5.4 Myr ago) differentiation of the endemic species of Sulawesi (C. elongata, C. lea, C. levicula, C. musseri, and C. rhoditis, i.e. confusus Evans and Leeson, An.

Pteromalidae is one of the largest and most diverse family in the superfamily Chalcidoidea, including over 3500 described species placed in almost 600 genera and 30 subfamilies. The Pseudochironomini genus Manoa Fittkau, first described from the Amazon, Brazil, also exhibit Inabrezian vicariance following the discovery of one species from the West Usambara Mountains in Tanzania (Andersen & Sæther 1997) and one from the Everglades in Florida (Jacobsen & Perry 2002). In Southern Africa, the climate was apparently more stable in the last 3.5 Myr, with little or no long-term change in the moisture gradient over the last 2.5 Myr (Maslin et al., 2012). The babiyi group is made up of 2 Afrotropical, 1 Holarctic and 1 Sino-Indian species. The Afrotropical (African) Ecozone. Of the 11 species of Madagascar, only two are known from continental Africa. brucei Service, An.

A noteworthy fact is the early (about 5.4 Myr ago) differentiation of the endemic species of Sulawesi (C. elongata, C. lea, C. levicula, C. musseri, and C. rhoditis, i.e. Brothers, D.J. Biology: Ectoparasitoids of larvae or pupa of other insects. The single Afrotropical species, D. reidi (Freeman) was redescribed in detail by Sæther & Andersen (2000). Madagascar and the Indian Ocean Islands are home to ten endemic families of flowering plants; eight are endemic to Madagascar ( Asteropeiaceae , Didymelaceae , Didiereaceae , Kaliphoraceae , Melanophyllaceae , Physenaceae , Sarcolaenaceae , and Sphaerosepalaceae ), one to Seychelles ( Mesdusagynaceae ) and one to the Mascarene Islands ( Psiloxylaceae ).
