Abstract

Collections of Amitus (Hymenoptera: Proctotrupoidea, Platygastridae) from the Western Hemisphere are referred to the following species: from Canada and the United States, A. aleurodinis Haldeman, A. granulosus n. sp., and A. gibbosus n. sp.; from Mexico and South America, A. spiniferus (Brethes), A. pigeanus n. sp., A. hesperidum Silvestri, and A. fuscipennis n. sp.

A lateral plate-like process on the male fourth antennal segment is regarded as a phenocline, characteristic of species or species groups.
