Abstract

Encyrtus sugonjaevi Simutnik sp. n. is described from Israel. The new species has a bow-like, transverse frontofacial carina extending across the entire width of the head, and the genae with a poorly developed carina. This species clearly differs from the other species of the genus in the following characters: the funicle is wide and flat, with the 1st segment 1.5 times as long as wide; the basal part of the fore wing is glabrous from its base to a transverse band of coarse setae; the transverse band is well developed, bears long and thick setae.
