Anagrus Haliday, 1833: 346 . Type species: Ichneumon atomus Linnaeus , by subsequent designation ( Westwood, 1839: 78).

Pteratomus Packard, 1864: 137 . Type species: Pteratomus putnamii Packard , by monotypy. Synonymy formalized by Annecke & Doutt (1961: 7), following Girault (1929 [428]: 27).

Paranagrus Perkins, 1905: 199 . Type species: Paranagrus optabilis Perkins , by subsequent designation ( Gahan & Fagan, 1923: 106). Synonymy by Bakkendorf (1926).

Diagnosis. Anagrus belongs to the Anagrus group of genera. It is distinguished from other genera in the group as follows: female clava entire ( Fig. 34 ); protibial spur comblike ( Fig. 32 ); axillae advanced forward of posterior margin of mesoscutal midlobe; posterior scutellum short, with each lobe at most as long as wide; fore wing with posterior margin behind venation only slightly lobed ( Fig. 33 ). Male antenna filiform, with an 11- segmented flagellum and apical two segments not fused, their junction similar to preceding segments ( Fig. 34 ). Male genitalia (subgenus Paranagrus is illustrated) as in Fig. 35 .

Body length. 376–683 µm.

Distribution: Worldwide.

Hosts. Cicadellidae and Delphacidae reported for Australian species. Elsewhere reported also from Cercopidae , Tingidae , and Odonata (Zygoptera) .
