Braconidae has about 19,500 valid species, and Doryctinae is one of its most\ diverse subfamilies with over 1000 species in about 180 genera. However, the\ authors point out that the greater diversity of the group lies in the Neotropics,\ where there are about 70\% of the genera. In Brazil, have been recorded near 60\ genera, 32 for the Brazilian Amazon. However, these genera are known only by\ their type-localities, and their identification is so hardy due to the lack of keys for\ the region, and the ones that exist belongs to other regions and are outdated.\ Thus, the objective here was to conduct a taxonomic study of the Doryctinae\ genera occurring in the Brazilian Amazon. For its realization, mainly material from\ Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amaz\ônia (INPA) and Museu Paraense\ Em\ílio Goeldi (MPEG) were analyzed, besides other entomological collections of\ the Amazon region. The material was identified in part through the keys of Marsh\ (1997 and 2002) to the New World and Costa Rica, respectively and original\ descriptions. It was possible to analyze more than 900 specimens classified into\ 44 existing genera, beyond recognition of seven new genera and three new\ species, all here described. Barbalhoa Marsh, Curtiselloides Marsh, Pannuceus\ Marsh, Percnobracon Kieffer, Vanderentiellus Marsh and Bolivar Zald\ívar-River\ón \& Rodr\íguez-Jim\énez are new records for Brazil, while Aphelopsia\ Marsh, Neoheterospilus Belokobylskij, Panama Marsh and Ptesimogastroides\ Braet \& van Achterberg are news for the Brazilian Amazon region; besides 24\ genera had their records expanded within this region. The subfamily was\ recorded in almost all the states that comprise the Brazilian Amazon, except for\ Tocantins and Mato Grosso. The largest number of genera was found in\ Amazonas (44), followed by Par\á (23) and Roraima (20). It is suggested that\ further collection efforts should be concentrated on those states that had fewer\ genera registered (Rond\ônia, Mato Grosso, Tocantins and Maranh\ão) and also\ have greater risk of loss of biodiversity due to deforestation. The taxonomic\ analysis suggests the existence of a possible synonymy of Johnsonius Marsh\ under Semirhytus Sz\épligeti, and Aphelopsia Marsh under Callihormius\ Ashmead. The Notiospathius Matthews \& Marsh and Allorhogas Gahan have a\ great diversity within the region and should be studied separately in the future,\ considering the possibility of discovering new species in the first, and a better\ definition of it limits in the second.

A new species of Neoheterospilus, N. chamelae n. sp., is described from the Chamela-Cuixmala biosphere reserve in the Pacific coast of Jalisco, Mexico. This new species is placed within\ the subgenus Harpoheterospilus as it has an almost indistinct suture between the second and third\ metasomal terga and by the absence of a delineated apical area on the second metasomal tergite.\ Neoheterospilus chamelae is distinguished from the other species of the subgenus, N. (H.) falcatus, by\ its smooth vertex, single transverse carina in the prescutellar sulcus, a longer basal carina on the\ propodeum, and an elongate first metasomal tergite.

Background and aims. The preliminary results of a DNA barcoding study of the doryctine fauna of parasitoid wasps from the Chamela\–Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve in Mexico, a region dominated by tropical dry forest, are presented. So far, three field trips have been carried out to the reserve and 468 specimens have been collected, of which 407 cox1 sequences were obtained.
Materials and methods. The general mixed Yule-coalescent model was applied to a phylogram to investigate the number of evolutionary units that can be detected from the DNA sequence data examined.
Results. A total of 185 barcoding species assigned to 20 identified doryctine genera were discriminated using the above model, 115 of which belong to the speciose genus Heterospilus, pointing out the extraordinary species richness of this subfamily of insects in a Mexican tropical dry forest.
Conclusion. On the basis of the DNA barcodes generated, Ptesimogastroides Braet \& van Achterberg is proposed to be a junior synonym of Ptesimogaster Marsh syn. nov. Neoheterospilus was also found deeply nested within a large Heterospilus clade, suggesting the paraphyly of the latter genus.

A new genus Neoheterospilus gen. n. with an almost worldwide distribution and two subgenera (Neoheterospilus s. str. and Harpoheterospilus subgen. n.) are described. Seven new species of this genus are described and illustrated: N. africanus sp. n. (S. Africa); N. australicus sp. n. (Australia, Queensland), N. canberraensis sp. n. (Australia, ACT), N. cardaleae sp. n. (Australia, Queensland), N. insularis sp. n. (Christmas Islands), N. koreanus sp. n. (S. Korea; type species), N. subtropicalis sp. n. (Vietnam, S. China, Japan). New combinations of species originally described in the genus Heterospilus are given: N. coffeicola (Schmiedeknecht), comb. n. (Uganda, Tanzania; Brazil, Indonesia), N. curvicaudis (Belokobylskij), comb. n. (Vietnam), N. falcatus (Marsh), comb. n. (Venezuela). A new synonym is suggested: Pioscelus Muesebeck and Walkley, 1951 = Amazondoryctes Barbalhoa and Penteado-Dias, 1999, syn. n. Reduction of the first radiomedial vein of fore wing in the subfamily Doryctinae is surveyed.
