Abstract
The mango leafhopper Idioscopus clypealis (Lethierry) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from the Philippines is parasitized by two genera of Strepsiptera, Halictophagus and Callipharixenos. A redescription of the male Halictophagus fulmeki (Hofeneder), a new record and description of its conspecific female and a key to Halictophagus in the Philippines are given, and a new species of female, Callipharixenos philippines sp. n. is described. The inclusion of the family Callipharixenidae as a subfamily Callipharixeninae within the family Halictophagidae is discussed. © 2012 Magnolia Press.
