The Afrotropical Oberthuerellinae are revised, and new dichotomous and multi-entry keys to the species of Oberthuerella, Tessmannella, and Xenocynips are provided. All previously described species in these genera are redescribed; descriptions are augmented by color images of the holotype for each species. The following 11 species are described as new: Oberthuerella cyclopia Buffington & van Noort; Oberthuerella eschara Buffington & van Noort; Oberthuerella kibalensis van Noort & Buffington; Oberthuerella pardolatus Buffington & van Noort; Oberthuerella sharkeyi Buffington & van Noort; Oberthuerella simba Buffington & van Noort; Tessmannella copelandi Buffington & van Noort; Tessmannella kiplingi Buffington & van Noort; Tessmannella roberti Buffington & van Noort; Xenocynips rhothion Buffington & van Noort; and Xenocynips ronquisti Buffington & van Noort. We provide identification keys to the genera and species occurring in the Afrotropical region. Online dichotomous and interactive Lucid keys to genera and species are available at http://www.waspweb.org/Cynipoidea/Keys/index.htm.

An online database mainly about the order Hymenoptera. It contains some 115,000 species and literally millions of specimens in collections around the world. Some parts of this database have extensive information available (e.g., Proctotrupoidea, Platygastroidea, Ceraphronoidea, Apoidea), even to the level of specimens (see Platygastridae, Pelecinidae, Monomachidae, Stephanidae). These data have been gathered with the collaboration of a number of colleagues. Other taxa still need work. Hymenoptera Online (HOL) is no longer solely dedicated to Hymenoptera as recent acquisitions have expanded the taxonomic scope of this resource to include Hemiptera, Coleoptera, Mites, Fishes, and others with the help of a number of tireless collaborators. If you would like to contribute to the further development and enhancement of this resource or need technical assistance related to Hymenoptera Online services, please contact HOL Help, Norman F. Johnson, or the HOL Google+ Page. Search for taxa, collections, authors, collectors and specimens by typing your simple query in the text box below. Taxon name searches are case-sensitive and a wildcard (%) will automatically be appended to the end of your query (e.g. Telenomus); the same applies to collectors and authors (e.g. Johnson), collections (e.g. CNC), places (e.g. Bahia), journals (e.g. Memoirs), and specimen searches by specimen ID (e.g. ANIC DB 32).
