A new species of the mymarid wasp genus Anagrus Haliday is described from the Province of Tucumán, Argentina. The type series of A. Anagrus miriamae, S. Triapitsyn and Virla sp. nov. was reared from eggs of the planthopper Delphacodes sitarea Remes Lenicov and Tesón on a common pasture and lawn grass, Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walter) Kuntze. Both the parasitoid and its host are widely distributed in Argentina. Anagrus Haliday is described from the Province of Tucumán, Argentina. The type series of A.(Anagrus) miriamae S.
