Hymenoptera Figitidae Anacharitinae taxonomic status

Abstract

The status of Hexacharis is updated. A diagnosis and redescription of Hexacharis flavipes Kieffer, including the first description of the female, is given. Aegilips neuropterophaga (Díaz) is synonymized with Calofigites nitidus Kieffer. A key to the genera of Anacharitinae is provided.
