0386C903FF90C81DA397FD7FFC601918.taxon	discussion	In the Afrotropical Region, there are only first three groups of Dryinus present; group 4 is absent being limited to the Nearctic and Neotropical regions. Group 1 has included 39 species (Olmi et al. 2019) and is the most diverse (groups 2 and 3 include in fact only 4 and 14 species, respectively). Following the description of D. lesianus n. sp., group 1 grows now to 40 species. Most of them are broadly distributed in the Afrotropical Region. On the other hand, endemism is very rare in the Dryinidae (Olmi et al. 2019). For this reason, we presume that D. lesianus n. sp. is not endemic to the Republic of the Congo, but should have a broader distribution, including at least the neighbouring countries. The knowledge of the hosts should be useful to understand the possible distribution range of the new species, but unfortunately they are unknown. The situation is not unique, as in group 1 the hosts of only five species out of 40 are known in the Afrotropical Region (Guglielmino et al. 2013; Olmi et al. 2019). These hosts belong to the Dictyopharidae, Flatidae, Lophopidae, Ricaniidae and Tropiduchidae (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha) (Guglielmino et al. 2013).	en	Olmi, Massimo, Capradossi, Leonardo, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2021): Discovery of a new species of Dryinidae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) from the Republic of the Congo.
