The revision of Philocaenus Grandi, an African genus of sycoecine fig wasps is completed. Seres levis Waterston is transferred to Philocaenu s. A further eight new species are described: P. bakeri (Cameroun, ex F sansibarica macrosperma (Mildbr. & Burr.) Berg), P. bifurcus (Kenya, ex F. ottonifolia ulugarensis (Mildbr. & Burr.) Berg), P. rasplusi (G abon, ex F artocarpoides Warb.), P. clairae (South Africa, ex F tremul a tremula Warb.), P. warei (South Africa, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, ex F glumosa Delile), P. quatuordentatus (South Africa, ex F craterostom a Mildbr. & Burr. [?]), P. zambesiacus (Malawi, ex F. bussei Mildbr. & Burr.), P. rotundus (South Africa, Botswana, Malawi, Zimbabwe, ex F a butilifolia (Miq.) Miq). A key is provided to all Philocaenus species in both sexes and one to the sycoecine genera. A checklist of the Syco ecinae with host and pollinator relationships is compiled.
