Abstract

The female of Colocharis hungi Torréns (Hymenoptera: Eucharitidae) is newly described, detailing the characters that distinguish this species. In addition, we provide images and comments for C. hungi, diagnoses for all species of Colocharis Heraty, a key to species, and a distribution map for the species.
