Monitoriella Hedqvist is a phytophagous, gall-inducer Braconidae genus, known only from the New World. Its placement\ in a higher taxonomic level has been uncertain until recent phylogenetic investigations on cyclostome braconids, which\ reinforce its position in Doryctinae. Three new species of Monitoriella are described: M. costalimai sp. nov., M. spinata\ sp. nov., and M. ubatuba sp. nov., all from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Monitoriella anthurii is redescribed and illustrated.\ A key to all known species is provided.

A review of the Afrotropical genus Stephanospathius Belokobylskij is provided. A new species Stephanospathius benoiti sp. n. from the Republic of Congo, and the male and, for the first time, the female of Stephanospathius ornatipes (Kieffer) are described. A discussion of the status and composition of the tribe Stephaniscini is given and a new name for this tribe, Leptospathiini, nom. n., is proposed. A key to the included genera and a key to species of Stephanospathius are provided.

The species of the genus Spathius Nees without the first radiomedial vein in the forewing and the status of the subgenera Antespathius Belokobylskij and Ambispathius Belokobylskij of this genus are discussed. Six new species from the species groups S. antennalis Sz\épligeti and S. rusticulus Wilkinson and the genus Ambispathius Belokobylskij from Vietnam are described and illustrated: S. alahamatus, n.sp., S. maichauensis, n.sp., S. pacoensis, n.sp., S. sterlingi, n.sp., S. subanervus, n.sp., and S. tramlapus, n.sp.
