A revision of Thai Agathidinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae), with descriptions of six new species.

The Thai fauna of eleven agathidine genera, i.e., Biroia, Braunsia, Camptothlipsis, Coccygidium, Cremnops, Cremnoptoides, Disophrys, Earinus, Gyrochus, Lytopylus, and Troticus, are revised. 25 species are treated, 20 of which are found in Thailand and five that are likely to occur there. Six new species are described, i.e., Braunsia chaweewanae Sharkey, sp. n., Camptothlipsis annemariae Sharkey, sp. n., Camptothlipsis sheilae Sharkey, sp. n., Coccygidium mastigion Sharkey, sp. n., Coccygidium phaeoscapos Sharkey, sp. n., and Cremnoptoides yui Sharkey, sp. n. The following new synonomies are proposed: Isopronotum seminigripenne Enderlein, 1920, Isopronotum tricolor Enderlein, 1920, Biroia soror van Achterberg & Long, 2010, are all synonymized with Biroia fuscicornis (Cameron, 1903). Braunsia pumatica van Achterberg & Long 2010 is synonymized with B. fumipennis (Cameron, 1899). Braunsia devriesi van Achterberg & Long 2010 is synonymized with B. smithii (Dalla Torre, 1898). Cremnops malayensis Bhat, 1979 and Agathis nigritarsus Cameron 1899 are synonymized with C. desertor (Linnaeus, 1758). Disophrys macilifera van Achterberg & Long 2010 is synonymized with Disophrys strigata Enderlein, 1920. Disophrys quymanhi van Achterberg & Long 2010 is synonymized with Disophrys subfaciata (Brullé, 1846). Agathis burmensis Bhat & Gupta (1977) is synonymized with Lytopylus ebulus (Nixon, 1950). Disophrys ornatipennis Cameron 1905 is transferred to Gyrochus ornatipennis Cameron, 1905, comb. n. Agathis flavipennis Brullé is transferred to Gyrochus flavipennis (Brullé, 1846), comb. n. A key to the genera of Thai Agathidinae and keys to the species of each genus with multiple species are presented.
