Résumé

Sept espèces, dont trois sont décrites pour la première fois, du genreHabrolepis Foerster d'Afrique du Sud sont étudiées et une clé est donnée pour leur identification. Il est conclu queH. fanari Delucchi est synonyme deH. aspidioti Compere & Annecke.H. obscurus Compere & Annecke s'est révélé une espèce commune et largement répandue montrant de façon apparente une variation considérable d'importants caractères tels que l'ovipositeur, les antennes et le frontovertex de la femelle, et les antennes du mâle.A. miyarai Tachikawa est signalé de l'île Maurice où il parasite une Diaspine importante, ravageur de la canne à sucre. De même queH. obscurus, A. inglisiae Compere & Annecke est reconnu parasite d'une gamme de Diaspines qui comprend des espèces introduites d'importance économique.
