Type species: Euagathis bifasciata Szépligeti, 1900 .
Chromomicrodus Ashmead, 1900 , first synonymized by Baltazar (1961) and confirmed by Shenefelt (1970), Bhat and Gupta (1977), Chou and Sharkey (1989), Simbolotti and van Achterberg (1995), Sharkey (1996, 1998), van Achterberg and Chen (2002), van Achterberg (2004a, b) and van Achterberg and Raychaudhuri (2004). Type species: Chromomicrodus abbotti Ashmead, 1900 .
Holcotroticus Cameron, 1902 , first synonymized by Simbolotti and van Achterberg (1995) and confirmed by van Achterberg and Chen (2002), van Achterberg (2004a, b) and van Achterberg and Raychaudhuri (2004). Type species: Holcotroticus ruficollis Cameron, 1902 .
Balcemena Cameron, 1903 , synonymized by van Achterberg and Chen (2002), confirmed by van Achterberg (2004a, b) and van Achterberg and Raychaudhuri (2004). Type species: Balcemena longicollis Cameron, 1903 .
Distribution: Old World, primarily tropical: African, Oriental, and Australian regions, with a few incursions into the East Palaearctic. We have collected about 10 species in Th ailand represented by 152 specimens.
Diversity: Bhat and Gupta (1977) recorded 46 species from the Oriental region, they also reported 6 species of Belcemena which is now considered a junior synonym, making the total 52. Four species have been recorded from Thailand, viz., E. abbotti (Ashmead 1900) , E. chinensis (Holmgren 1868) (as E. semiflava Szépligeti, 1908 ), E. forticarinata (Cameron 1899) and E. longicollis (Cameron, 1903) ( Bhat and Gupta 1977, Simbolotti and van Achterberg 1995, Quicke et al. 2008).
Biology: Most host records are on Lymantriidae and the short ovipositors suggest that exposed hosts are attacked.
Phylogenetic Information. Rather unplaced within the Disophrini based on Sharkey et al. (2006) although many analyses placed it as sister to Amputostypos (as Hypsostypos in Sharkey et al (2006)) and unpublished COI and 28S sequence data support this placement.
Diagnosis: Claws cleft (Fig. 2a); frons lacking lateral carinae (Fig. 9a); hind trochantellus lacking ventral carinae (Fig. 3b); ovipositor much shorter than metasoma ( Fig. 27a).
