  abstract = {{M}any parasitoid species are subjected to strong selective pressures from their host, and their adaptive response may result in the formation of genetically differentiated populations, called host races. {W}hen environmental factors and reproduction traits prevent gene flow, host races become distinct species. {S}uch a process has recently been documented within the {C}otesia flavipes species complex, all of which are larval parasitoids of moth species whose larvae are stem borers of {P}oales. {A} previous study on the {A}frican species {C}. sesamiae, incorporating molecular, ecological and biological data on various samples, showed that a particular population could be considered as a distinct species, because it was specialized at both host ({S}esamia nonagrioides) and plant ({T}ypha domingensis) levels, and reproductively isolated from other {C}. sesa-miae. {D}ue to its potential for the biological control of {S}. nonagrioides, a serious corn pest in {M}editerranean countries and even in {I}ran, we describe here {C}otesia typhae {F}ernandez-{T}riana sp. n. {T}he new species is characterized on the basis of morphological, molecular, ecological and geographical data, which proved to be useful for future collection and rapid identification of the species within the species complex. {F}ecundity traits and parasitism success on {A}frican and {E}uropean {S}. nonagrioides populations, estimated by laboratory studies, are also included.},
