Worldwide species of the genus Spathius Nees with reduced wings are reviewed. A new micropterous species, Spathius\ himalayicus Ranjith et Belokobylskij, sp. nov. from Northeast India is described and illustrated. A key to all known\ brachypterous, micropterous and apterous Spathius species is provided. Images of seven species not previously imaged,\ viz., S. apotanus Wilkinson, 1931, S. canariensis Hedqvist, 1976, S. critolaus Nixon, 1939, S. cursor Wilkinson, 1931, S.\ maderi Fahringer, 1930, S. pedestris Wesmael, 1838 and S. turneri Nixon, 1943, are provided.

Here we describe the doryctine wasp Spathius lubomiri sp. n., a highly aberrant member of the genus from Lord Howe Island, which is characterised, among other features, by having the wings reduced to\ sclerotised rod-like structures, and the dorsal body covered with long bristle-like setae. We also briefly discuss the composition of the hymenopteran fauna and prevalence of reduced wing taxa for the island, and provide a personal account in celebration of Lubo Masner\’s 75th birthday.
