The Charipinae have been little studied in the Neotropical region. There are only three species in South America and some identifications are erroneous. In this work, all the species of Charipinae from South America were studied and two new species are described: Apocharips angelicae Pujade-Villar and Evenhuis sp. n. and Alloxysta desantisi Pujade-Villar and Díaz sp. n. New synonyms also are given. Several unusual morphological features of Apocharips angelicae are discussed and illustrated. Finally, we argue that the genera Bothriocynips and Emargo are synonymous.
