Abstract

Abstract Only three species of Dryinidae were known so far from Mozambique. In 1985 and 1992 the author collected and reared several species there, resulting in the discovery of three new species (Gonatopus festivus, G. amoenus and Paradicondylus australis) and 9 known species of which 7 are new records from Mozambique (Anteon afrum Olmi, Echthrodelphax migratorius Benoit, Gonatopus varipes Brues, G. ochreus Olmi, G. incognitus Olmi, G. ridens Olmi, and G. communis Olmi). Gonatopus festivus, sp. nov. and Paradicondylus australis, sp. nov. were reared from Nisia nervosa (Mots.) (Meenoplidae), reporting dryinids parasitizing Meenoplidae for the first time. Also the male of Gonatopus varipes is described for the first time.
