Abstract

Two new genera Presoter gen. nov. and Admonitosoter gen. nov. (Braconinae, Braconidae) are erected to include two new species from the southern part of Africa. These species are Presoter yusufi sp. nov., from South Africa and Admonitosoter rafiqui sp. nov. from Congo. These new genera appear closely related to Serrundabracon Achterberg and Soter Saussure.
