A new braconid genus from the subfamily Doryctinae, Mexiare gen. nov. (type species M. toledoi sp. nov.) is described\ from the state of Morelos in Central Mexico. The described species of this genus is characterised by having immovably\ fused first and second metasomal tergites, a feature also present in species of two Oriental (Arhaconotus Belokobylskij\ and Mimipodoryctes Belokobylskij) and one Neotropical (Iare Barbalho et Penteado-Dias) genera. The new genus, however,\ can be distinguished from the Neotropical Iare by the presence of a semi-oval basal area on the second metasomal\ tergite, distinctly short submedial (subbasal) cell of hind wing, more than three hamuli, considerably short second radiomedial\ (submarginal) cell, narrow radial (marginal) cell of fore wing and mostly smooth mesoscutum. A phylogenetic\ analysis among doryctine genera based on two gene markers (28S and COI) placed Mexiare gen. nov. within a previously\ recovered major South American clade, though its relationships with other taxa remain unclear.

The genus Monarea Sz\épligeti is recorded from Mexico for the first time. A new species, Monarea fridae sp. nov., is described and illustrated from the states of Morelos, Puebla and Jalisco, Mexico. The phylogenetic placement of the genus is investigated based on nuclear (28S) and mitochondrial (COI) DNA sequence data. Based on the relationships recovered,\ Monarea is transferred to the tribe Holcobraconini, which is also supported by features of the internal ovipositor structure and the venom glands and reservoir. A key to the four currently recognised species of Monarea is provided.
