Revision of the genus Hormoserphus Townes, 1981 has shown that its type species, Proctotrupes clypeatus Ashmead, 1893 belongs to Oxyserphus Masner, 1961 (Oxyserphus clypeatus (Ashmead, 1893), comb. n. [= Hormoserphus transgressus Townes, 1981, syn. n.]) thus making Hormoserphus a junior synonym of the latter genus. Trachyserphus Kolyada, gen. n. is described to accommodate Oriental Trachyserphus segregatus (Townes, 1981), comb. n. (from Hormoserphus), Central American Trachyserphus defrictus (Townes, 1981), comb. n. (from Sminthoserphus Townes, 1981) and South American Trachyserphus masneri Kolyada, sp. n. Hormoserphus chinensis He \& Fan, 1991 and Hormoserphus striatus He \& Xu, 2015 are treated as junior synonyms of T. segregatus. An identification key to the species of Trachyserphus is provided.

The male of Afroserphus bicornis Masner is redescribed, and female of this species is described for the first time. This extremely rare species is recorded from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Zambia, and South Africa. The genus Afroserphus is hypothesised to be a Gondwanan relic.

Re-examination of the type material of six species described by Brues from the Baltic amber in the genus Cryptoserphus revealed that none of them belong to this genus but represent four species within other extant genera, i.e. Fustiserphus pinorum (Brues, 1940) comb. nov., Mischoserphus gracilis (Brues, 1940) comb. nov., Oxyserphus obsolescens (Brues, 1940) comb. nov., and O. hamiferus (Brues, 1940) comb. nov. Two other species (Cryptoserphus tertiarius and C. succinalis) described by Brues and Cryptoserphus koggeauxillarius described by Szabo \& Oehlke (1986) are synonymised under O. obsolescens. All species are redescribed and illustrated.

New data on the distribution of the proctotrupid genus Exallonyx in South Africa are provided. One new species, E. townesi Kolyada, is described from the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal provinces. E. cingulatus Townes, 1981 is synonymised with E. leptocorsa Townes, 1981. A key is provided to the four species of Exallonyx recorded from South Africa.
