Eucharitidae (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea), a family new to the fauna of Saudi Arabia, with the description of the previously unknown male of Eucharis (Psilogastrellus) affinis Boucek.


ABSTRACT: The family Eucharitidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) is recorded for the first time for the fauna of Saudi Arabia based on Hydrorhoacaffra (Westwood) and Eucharis (Psilogastrellus) affinis Bou?ek. The record of Hydrorhoacaffra suggests that Al-Baha and Asir provinces should be considered as part of the Afrotropical rather than the Palaearctic region. The previously unknown male of Eucharisaffinis Bou?ek is described and figured. Macrophotographs of the species are provided.
