Abstract

Discovery of a new species from the genera Sycophila Walker, 1871 (Hymenoptera, Eurytomidae): Sycophila gatesi Pérez-Alférez & Pujade-Villar n. sp., on the finding of males and females emerged from galls of Cynipidae (Hymenoptera) on Quercus in Mexico. The diagnostic morphological features of the adults are pictured and discussed.
