New species of Idris Forster (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea) from southeast Asia, parasitoids of the eggs of pholcid spiders (Araneae, Pholcidae).

ABSTRACT: Four new species of the genus Idris Förster (Hymenoptera: Platygastroidea), reared from the eggs of pholcid spiders (Araneae: Pholcidae) in southeast Asia are described on the basis of external morphology and the barcode region of the mitochondrial COI gene. The new species and their hosts are: I.badius Johnson & Chen, sp. n. (ex Nipisaphyllicola (Deeleman-Reinhold), Panjangehamiguitan Huber), I.balteus Johnson & Chen, sp. n. (ex Panjangecamiguin Huber), I.curtus Johnson & Chen, sp. n. (ex Calapnitanunezae Huber, Panjangecamiguin Huber, Tissahamiabukittimah (Huber), Uthinaluzonica Simon), and I.fusciceps (ex Belisanakhaosok Huber).
