The Afrotropical species of Norbanus Walker, 1843 (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) are revised. Four previously described Afrotropical species are recognized as valid and redescribed: N. africanus Subba Rao, 1973, N. garouae (Risbec, 1956) comb. nov. (transferred from Bruchobius Ashmead), N. kitegaensis (Risbec, 1957) and N. seyrigi (Risbec, 1952) comb. nov. (from Habrocytus Thomson). In addition, the Mediterranean species N. tenuicornis Bouček, 1970 is recorded for the first time from the Afrotropical region, and 21 species are described as new: N. aequus sp. nov., N. awi sp. nov., N. brevicephalus sp. nov., N. breviclava sp. nov., N. caloramans sp. nov., N. draco sp. nov., N. erebus sp. nov., N. foritempus sp. nov., N. gibber sp. nov., N. gracilis sp. nov., N. incombo sp. nov., N. ingens sp. nov., N. longissimus sp. nov., N. maliarphae sp. nov., N. mustatai sp. nov., N. pilosus sp. nov., N. pleuralis sp. nov., N. polaszeki sp. nov., N. prinslooi sp. nov., N. rotundus sp. nov., and N. sunabron sp. nov. Three extralimital species from North Africa are included in the key: N. cerasiops (Masi, 1922), N. guyoni (Giraud, 1869), and N. obscurus (Masi, 1922). Lectotypes are designated for N. cerasiops, N. kitegaensis and N. seyrigi. The subgenus Picroscytoides Masi is placed in synonymy with Norbanus s.s. syn. nov. Host records are given for several new species, including some economically important pests of maize, sorghum or rice.
对1843年沃克所描述的非洲区诺巴努斯属(膜翅目:金小蜂科)物种进行了修订。确认了4个先前描述的非洲区物种为有效物种并重新进行了描述:1973年的非洲诺巴努斯、1956年里斯贝克描述的加鲁诺巴努斯(新组合,从布鲁乔比乌斯属转入)、1957年的基特加诺巴努斯以及1952年里斯贝克描述的塞里吉诺巴努斯(新组合,从哈布罗西图斯属转入)。此外,地中海物种1970年的细角诺巴努斯首次在非洲区被记录,同时还描述了21个新物种:平诺巴努斯、阿维诺巴努斯、短头诺巴努斯、短棒诺巴努斯、嗜热诺巴努斯、天龙诺巴努斯、厄瑞玻斯诺巴努斯、长时诺巴努斯、粗瘤诺巴努斯、纤细诺巴努斯、因科博诺巴努斯、巨大诺巴努斯、最长诺巴努斯、马利亚尔法诺巴努斯、穆斯塔泰诺巴努斯、多毛诺巴努斯、胸膜诺巴努斯、波拉谢基诺巴努斯、普林斯洛依诺巴努斯、圆形诺巴努斯以及苏纳布龙诺巴努斯。检索表中纳入了来自北非的3个分布区外物种:1922年的樱桃诺巴努斯、1869年的居约诺巴努斯以及1922年的暗诺巴努斯。为樱桃诺巴努斯、基特加诺巴努斯和塞里吉诺巴努斯指定了选模标本。将皮克罗西托伊德斯亚属与诺巴努斯属(狭义)异名化(新异名)。给出了几个新物种的寄主记录,包括一些对玉米、高粱或水稻具有经济重要性的害虫。
