ANAGROIDEA Girault, 1915

(Figs 61–85)

Anagroidea Girault, 1915 [228]: 164. Type species: Eustochus dubius Girault, 1913, by original designation.

Dahmsia Doutt, 1975: 254 . Type species: Dahmsia australiensis Doutt, 1975, by original designation. Synonymy by Noyes & Valentine, 1989: 25.

Diagnosis. Body length 560–595 μm. Head and mesosoma with distinctly raised, reticulate sculpture (Figs 62a, 66–77); head in lateral view with face angular (Figs 66, 70); mandibles pointing ventrally, not crossing medially when closed (Figs 62, 67, 71, 72) and operating in an anterior/posterior direction (Fig. 70); hind wing often with membrane extending narrowly to base of venation, wing width near apex as wide as at level of hamuli, and with rather widely rounded apex (Fig. 65); fore-tibial spur comb-like

Discussion. Anagroidea is superficially similar to Caraphractus and Eustochus, both of which also have distinctly raised, reticulate head and mesosomal sculpture, but otherwise it is more closely related to Cleruchus group of genera and particularly to the extralimital Eubroncus Yoshimoto, Kozlov & Trjapitzin.

Nearctic hosts. Unknown.
