Dinotrema amparoae sp. n., Dinotrema benifassaense sp. n., Dinotrema lagunasense sp. n., Dinotrema pilarae sp. n., Dinotrema robertoi sp. n., Dinotrema teresae sp. n.,Dinotrema tinencaense sp. n., and Dinotrema torreviejaense sp. n..


introduction
The genus Dinotrema Foerster, 1862 is the largest braconid genus of the subfamily Alysiinae with approximately 320 species worldwide (Yu et al. 2012). The current position of the genus Dinotrema was suggested by van Achterberg (1988), and it differs from the related genus Aspilota Foerster, 1862 by the small size of the paraclypeal fovea which are distinctly separated from the inner margin of eyes. Species of Dinotrema parasitise in the larvae of Diptera predominantly belonging to the family Phoridae (van Achterberg 1988). Some species were also reared from the members of the families Anthomyiidae and Platypezidae (Fischer et al. 2008), but these data need to be verified. Fischer (1972) and Tobias (2003Tobias ( , 2004aTobias ( , 2004bTobias ( , 2006 suggested division of the Dinotrema species into some morphological groups characterized by extend and type of sculpture of the propodeum and presence/absence of the mesoscutal pit. These features were also used in recent papers on the Western Palaearctic species of the Dinotrema species and in the study of its Spanish species.

Material and methods
The specimens for this study were collected by Malaise traps in the Natural Parks of Carrascal de la Font Roja (Alicante Province, Spain), La Tinença de Benifassà (Castellon Province, Spain) and Las Lagunas de La Mata-Torrevieja (Alicante Province, Spain). The climatic and orographic characteristics of these parks were described by Peris-Felipo and Jiménez-Peydró (2012).
For the terminology of the morphological features and sculpture, measurements and wing venation nomenclature, see Fischer (1973). The following abbreviations are used in the paper: POL -post-ocellar line; OOL -ocular-ocellar line; OD -maximum diameter of lateral ocellus.
The types of the described species are deposited in the following entomological collections:
