RESUMEN
An overview of the family Leucospidae (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) is provided for the leucospid fauna of the Arabian Peninsula. Two genera containing four species are identified based on morphometrics and colour patterns. One species, Leucospisayezae Usman, Anwar & Ahmad, sp. nov., is described. Leucospiselegans Klug had been previously recorded from Arabia Felix (= Yemen) and is recorded here for the first time from Saudi Arabia. The status of Leucospisaff.namibica from Yemen has been clarified, and this species is placed here in the genus Micrapion Kriechbaumer as M.clavaforme Steffan. An updated key and a map showing the distribution of the family Leucospidae in the Arabian Peninsula is provided. The occurrence and color morphs of all leucospid species that have been recorded so far from the region are briefly discussed.
RESUMEN
Two species of Anaphes Haliday with distinctive females are described from India (A. triapitsyni Anwar Zeya, sp. nov.) or from India and Indonesia (A. kailashchandrai Anwar Zeya, sp. nov.). The only other Anaphes species known to occur in India is A. quinquearticulatus Huber Triapitsyn because previous records of A. pallipes (Ashmead) and A. pullicrurus (Girault) are based on misidentifications. These latter two names are therefore removed from the faunal list of India. An illustrated key to females of the three described species of Anaphes known from India is given. The described species of Anaphes known from Australia are also briefly reviewed, with type material of four previously unillustrated species being newly imaged and compared to the Indian species.
