The following 11 species are described as new: Oberthuerella cyclopia Buffington & van Noort; O. eschara Buffington & van Noort; O. kibalensis van Noort & Buffington; O. pardolatus Buffington & van Noort; O. sharkeyi Buffington & van Noort; O. simba Buffington & van Noort; Tessmannella copelandi Buffington & van Noort; T. kiplingi Buffington & van Noort; T. roberti Buffington & van Noort; Xenocynips rhothion Buffington & van Noort; and X. ronquisti Buffington & van Noort. We provide identification keys to the genera and species occurring in the Afrotropical region.
