Nyereria albicentrus Long & van Achterberg, 2008 and N. yenthuyensis Long & van Achterberg, 2008. In this paper, a new species of this genus is described and illustrated: Nyereria bicolorata Long & van Achterberg, sp. n The checklist and distribution of the twenty three named species are given, of those eighteen species are described from the Afrotropical region and four species from the Oriental region. One species is known from the East Palaearctic region. A key to the species of the genus Nyereria from Vietnam is provided. Keywords: Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Microgastrinae, Nyereria, new species, Vietnam. INTRODUCTION The genus, Nyereria Mason, 1981, is common in the Afrotropical region (more common and diverse than Mason thought when he described the new genus in 1981). In the previous paper, two species of this genus from Vietnam’s fauna were described in Protapanteles Ashmead because Nyereria Mason was treated as subgenus of Protapanteles (Long & van Achterberg, 2008). In this paper, Taxapad (Yu et al., 2012) [16] is followed, where Nyereria is treated as a valid genus. Particularly, the incorrect locality of the holotype of Nyereria albicentrus Long & van Achterberg, 2008 indicated in the original description was replaced as written in the type label. Up to date, the genus Nyereria comprises twenty three species, of which eighteen species occur in the Afrotropical .
