A new genus belonging to the braconid wasp subfamily Doryctinae, Venifurca gen. n., is described containing\ one species, Venifurca leiosoma sp. n. The new genus is morphologically similar to Johnsonius\ Marsh and Semirhytus Sz\épligeti. A phylogenetic analysis based on one nuclear (28S) and one mitochondrial\ (COI) gene marker supported the close affinity of these three genera + Bolivar Zald\ívar-River\ón \&\ Rodr\íguez-Jim\énez and Parallorhogas Marsh. All these genera are mainly characterized by having vein\ m-cu of the hind wing slightly curved distally.
