Comments on previously described species of Megaspilidae
The focus of the present study is on the family Ceraphronidae because overwhelmingly more material of this family was available for study compared to Megaspilidae. Accordingly, also the number of newly described and treated species is higher in Ceraphronidae. We refrained from commenting on all previously described Afrotropical species of Megaspilidae (for current status of knowledge, see Johnson & Musetti 2004).
Three previously described species of Megaspilidae were also found in the present study. For these species, we complement the current knowledge with additional information on body and male genitalia characters, analogous to the treatments of newly described species.
