Abstract

In this study a new species of Neralsia is described, N. incompleta n. sp. The radial cell shape allows to distinguish it clearly from the rest of species of the genus. The distribution of Neralsia incompleta n. sp. is probably the entire American continent, having been collected from Canada to Paraguay. In spite of its abundance, the associated biology is unknown, although it should be related with parasitism of Diptera Cyclorrhapha.

Résumé

Description d’une nouvelle espèce de Neralsia Cameron avec une larege distribution dans le continent américain : N. incompleta n. sp. (Hymenoptera : Figitidae : Figitinae) Dans ce travail, on décrit une nouvelle espèce de Neralsia, N. incompleta n. sp. La forme de la cellule radiale permet de distinguer clairement cette espèce de toutes les autres du genre. Neralsia incompleta n. sp. se distribue probablement dans le continent américain tout entier puisqu’elle y a été collectée depuis le Canada jusqu’au Paraguay. En dépit de son abondance, sa biologie est inconnue bien qu’elle puisse être en relation parasitaire de diptères cyclorrhaphes.
