Macroglenes Westwood, 1832: 127 View in CoL ; type species M. oculatus Westwood View in CoL , by monotypy. For synonyms see Mitroiu (2010).

Diagnosis. Body usually non-metallic, but sometimes greenish or bluish; tarsi 5-segmented; anelli indistinct, 0–3 funicular segments large and provided with sensilla; M long, S and P very short; clypeal margin usually entire, but sometimes slightly incised; dorsellum much shorter than propodeum.

Comments. The genus Macroglenes Westwood includes species that are parasitoids, at least for the few species where the hosts are known, of gall midges ( Diptera : Cecidomyiidae ). The latest revision of the genus included the Palaearctic species ( Mitroiu 2010). Three species were described from Australia by Girault (1925, 1925a): M. clypeatus (Girault) , M. congener (Girault) and M. ipswichi (Girault) , but their descriptions, even if brief, indicate they are different species from those described bellow.
