A new species of the genus Megalommum Szépligeti (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Braconinae), reared from the pistachio longhorn beetle (Calchaenesthes pistacivora Holzschuh; Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), is described and illustrated.

The following new combinations are given: M. xanthoceps (Fahringer, 1928), comb. n., M. jacobsoni (Tobias, 1968), comb. n., M. ayyari (Watanabe, 1950), comb. n., M. philippinense (Baker, 1917), comb. n., M. dodecanesi (Ferrière, 1922), comb. n., M. ceresense (Turner, 1922), comb. n., M. inareatum (Granger, 1949), comb. n., M. antefurcale (Szépligeti, 1915) comb. n. and M. tibiale (Ashmead, 1906), comb. n.
