Type species. Astarteserphus grimaldii sp. nov.

Etymology. The new genus-group name is a combination of the Ancient Greek name for the Near Eastern goddess Ἀστάρτη / Astártē (particularly worshipped among the Phoenicians) and Serphus Schrank (from Ancient Greek σέρΦΟΣ / sérphos, meaning, “small winged insect” and at the time likely referring to gnats), the latter a historical name for Proctotrupes Latreille. The gender of the name is masculine.
