Abstract
A new parasitoid wasp species, Torymus moazopisp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Torymidae), is described from Mexico. This new species was reared from seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris L. and Phaseolus lunatus L. (both Fabaceae) associated with some Bruchinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). Torymus moazopisp. nov. is morphologically similar to Torymus atheatus Grissell (Hymenoptera: Torymidae), but it can be distinguished by its ovipositor length, thorax coloration, and the distinctively wide fore and hind femora in males.
