Abstract

The New World species of Eurytenes Foerster sensu stricto (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Opiinae) are revised, and a key to these species is presented. Four new species are described: Eurytenes (Eurytenes) dichromus sp. n. from Texas, E. (E.) microsomus sp. n. from Texas, E. (E.) pachycephalus sp. n. from Mexico, and E. (E.) ormenus sp. n. from Mexico. Eurytenes abnormis (Wesmael) is redescribed for comparison, and its host records are reviewed.
