Abstract. The chrysidid genus Adelphe is reviewed. The species Nesogyne taino Krombein is
movedintoAdelphe (new combination) and Nesogyne Krombeinis synonymized herein as ajunior
synonym of Adelphe. Thirteen new species are described, namely acuta (Dominican Republic),
azurea (Costa Rica, Panama), gibba (Ecuador), glabra (French Guiana), guayanensis (French
Guiana, Guyana), hyalophora (Puerto Rico), intermedia (Costa Rica, Panama), leuropos (Ecuador,
Peru), lobata (Ecuador, Brazil), lyra (Venezuela), paracubana (Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic),
polita (Bolivia) and unidens (Costa Rica). All of these species are based on males, or males and
females, with the exception of lyra, which is known only from females. In addition, a key to the
species is provided.
The genus Adelphe is among the more of the pronotal disk and wraps laterally,
