Centistidea acrocercopsi Ahmad & Pandey, sp. nov., C. cosmopteryxi Ahmad & Pandey, sp. nov., and C. tihamica Ghramh & Ahmad, sp. nov. are described as new to science. The genus Centistidea Rohwer (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Miracinae) is recorded for the first time from Saudi Arabia. Two species were reared from Acrocercops phaeospora Meyrick and Cosmopteryx phaeogastra (Meyrick) in India, while Centistidea tihamica was collected by Malaise trap in Saudi Arabia. Characters of these new species and their affinities with related taxa are discussed. Data on habitat, host records, and host plant species for all the parasitoid species are also provided.

The species of chalcidid wasps of Dirhinus Dalman, 1818 (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae) from Saudi Arabia are reviewed. Seven species are reported from Al Bahah, Asir, Jazan and Riyadh regions, of which three have hitherto been recorded: D. (Dirhinus) anthracia Walker, 1846, D. (Dirhinus) himalayanus Westwood, 1836 and D. (Dirhinus) wohlfahrtiae Ferrière, 1935. One species D. (Dirhinus) claviger Bouček & Narendran, 1981 is recorded for the first time from Saudi Arabia (Asir). Additionally, three new species: D. (Dirhinus) asirensis sp. nov. (Asir), D. (Dirhinus) sculpturatus sp. nov. (Al Bahah, Asir and Riyadh) and D. (Pareniaca) transversus sp. nov. (Al Bahah, Asir and Jazan) are described and illustrated.

First Time

A phylogenetic study based on 25 species of Phasgonophorinae (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae) and 36 characters was carried out for ensuring the generic placement of three new species from Saudi Arabia. As a result of this study, the genera Trigonura Sichel, 1866, Bactrochalcis Kieffer, 1912, Centrochalcis Cameron, 1913, Centrochalcidia Gahan & Fagan, 1923, Chalcidellia Girault, 1924, Urochalcis Nikol’skaya, 1952, Trigonurella Bouček, 1988, and Muhabbetella Koçak & Kemal, 2008 are synonymized with Phasgonophora Westwood, 1832. This genus is recorded in Saudi Arabia for the first time, represented here by P. rubens (Klug), and newly described species P. baiocchii Soliman & Gul, sp. nov., P. granulis Delvare, sp. nov., and P. magnanii Gadallah & Gul, sp. nov. An illustrated key to species of the Arabian Peninsula is provided. The relevant specimens were mostly reared from buprestid species infesting Acacia sp. and Dodonaea viscosa in Al-Baha, Asir and Riyadh regions, Saudi Arabia.
