Key to the Afrotropical species of Dioxybracon View in CoL (females)

1 Top of head smooth, sparsely punctate, without obvious striation ( Figure 1 View Figure 1 (d)); flagellum largely brown but basal segments darker ( Figure 1 View Figure 1 (b,d)); middle lobe of mesoscutum without a sub-medial pair of grooves anteriorly ( Figure 1 View Figure 1 (d)); posterior half of mesopleuron largely smooth and shiny without punctures .......................... .................................................................................................................... D. bimucronatus Granger View in CoL

- Top of head with fine striate running from eye and across frons, curving medially towards stemmaticum ( Figures 2 View Figure 2 (b), 4(c), 6(b)); flagellum black ( Figure 4 View Figure 4 (a)); middle lobe of mesoscutum with a sub-medial pair of grooves anteriorly; posterior half of mesopleuron densely punctured though somewhat less densely than on anterior half ........................................................................................................................................................... 2

2 Hind leg entirely yellow-brown ( Figure 6 View Figure 6 (a)); forewing venation largely pale yellow, contrasting with nearly black vein C+SC+R and pterostigma ( Figure 7 View Figure 7 (a)); midlongitudinal groove of 1st metasomal tergite bordered laterally by distinct, dorsallyprotruding, lamelliform, pair of carinae ( Figure 6 View Figure 6 (e)) .................... D. vannoorti sp. nov.

- Hind leg with at least the tibia black ( Figure 2 View Figure 2 (a)); forewing venation brown, paler than with nearly C+SC+R and pterostigma but not strongly contrasting ( Figure 2 View Figure 2 (a)); mid-longitudinal groove of 1st metasomal tergite not bordered by dorsally-protruding, lamelliform carinae ( Figures 3 View Figure 3 (a), 5(b)) ................................. 3

3 Head and thorax entirely yellow brown ( Figure 2 View Figure 2 (a)); base of hindwing with large glabrous area ( Figure 2 View Figure 2 (f)); medio-posterior emargination of metasomal tergite 6 deep and bordered by a translucent flange ( Figure 3 View Figure 3 (c)) .......................... ............................................................................................................ D. aurumoram sp. nov.

- Head and thorax black ( Figure 4 View Figure 4 (a)); base of hindwing largely setose ( Figure 5 View Figure 5 (a)); medio-posterior emargination of metasomal tergite 6 less deep and bordered by a thickened, black flange ( Figure 5 View Figure 5 (c)) .............................................. D. maridadi sp. nov.
