Abstract

The genus Moritiella Buffington, n. gen., is described, diagnosed and illustrated (Hymenoptera: Figitidae: Eucoilinae). Two species new to science are described: M. elegans n. sp. and M. astrudae n. sp. Phylogenetic evidence suggests Moritiella is among the Zaeucoila group of genera, a group of eucoilines chiefly parasitic upon leaf-mining Agromyzidae (Diptera).
