چکیده
Five new species belonging to the poorly known Neotropical doryctine parasitoid wasps genera Heerz Marsh (Heerz ecmahlasp. n. and Heerz macrophthalmasp. n.), Lissopsius Marsh (Lissopsius pacificussp. n. and Lissopsius jalisciensissp. n.) and Ondigus Braet, Barbalho & van Achterberg (Ondigus cuixmalensissp. n.) are described from the Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere reserve in Jalisco, Mexico. Keys to the described species of the above three genera are provided. The phylogenetic placement of the examined taxa is investigated based on mitochondrial (COI) and nuclear (28S, 2(nd) and 3(rd) domain regions) DNA sequence data.

متن کاملFirst record of the genus Caenophanes Foerster (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Doryctinae) for America north of Mexico with a description of a new species from Wyoming USA .
The first species of Caenophanes Foerster recorded from America north of Mexico is described: Caenophanes harlowi Haimowitz and Marsh, and a key to distinguish the two described New World species is provided. We discuss evidence that suggests that Caenophanes is likely to have cosmopolitan distribution and may be more common than might be anticipated from the current number of described species.
