Abstract

Fontaliella, a new genus of Eucoilinae (Hymenoptera, Cynipoidea, Figitidae) and F. colombiensis sp. nov. from Colombia, are described and illustrated. This new genus belongs to the Ganaspini and morphologically resembles Zamischus Ashmead, 1903, Perischus Weld, 1931 and Steleucoela Kieffer, 1908. A key to differentiate these genera and species is given.
