Nine species are transferred from Megastigmus to Bootanomyia as new combinations: B. almusiensis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Doğanlar, 1989);, B. dorsalis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fabricius 1789);, B. dumicola insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Boucek 1982);, B. habui insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Kamijo, 1962);, B. maculipennis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Yasumatsu and Kamijo, 1979);, B. nipponicus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Yasumatsu and Kamijo, 1979);, B. stigmatizans insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fabricious 1789);, B. synophri insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Mayr 1874);, and B. zhaoi insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Xu & He, 2003);. Megastigmus bohemanii Ratzeburg, 1848 is reinstated as a species from synonymy under M. dorsalis Fabricius and transferred to Bootanomyia as B. bohemanii insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ratzeburg, 1848); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(comb. and status n.);. Seven species are described as new species: B. balikesirensis, B. emrezaferi, B. hepdurgunae, B. mehmeti, B. onuri, B. saragoldae, and B. shebnemae.
