	abstract = {<p>This study examined subfamilial relationships within Braconidae, using\&nbsp;4 kb of sequence data for 139 taxa. Genetic sampling included previously used\&nbsp;markers for phylogenetic studies of Braconidae (28S and 18S rDNA) as well as new\&nbsp;nuclear protein-coding genes (CAD and ACC). Maximum likelihood and Bayesian\&nbsp;inference of the concatenated dataset recovered a robust phylogeny, particularly for\&nbsp;early divergences within the family. This study focused primarily on non-cyclostome\&nbsp;subfamilies, but the monophyly of the cyclostome complex was strongly supported.\&nbsp;There was evidence supporting an independent clade, termed the aphidioid complex,\&nbsp;as sister to the cyclostome complex of subfamilies. Maxfischeria was removed from\&nbsp;Helconinae and placed within its own subfamily within the aphidioid complex.\&nbsp;Most relationships within the cyclostome complex were poorly supported, probably\&nbsp;because of lower taxonomic sampling within this group. Similar to other studies,\&nbsp;there was strong support for the alysioid subcomplex containing Gnamptodontinae,\&nbsp;Alysiinae, Opiinae and Exothecinae. Cenocoeliinae was recovered as sister to all\&nbsp;other subfamilies within the euphoroid complex. Planitorus and Mannokeraia,\&nbsp;previously placed in Betylobraconinae and Masoninae, respectively, were moved to\&nbsp;the Euphorinae, and may share a close affiliation with Neoneurinae. Neoneurinae and\&nbsp;Ecnomiinae were placed as tribes within Euphorinae. A sister relationship between\&nbsp;the microgastroid and sigalphoid complexes was also recovered. The helconoid\&nbsp;complex included a well-supported lineage that is parasitic on lepidopteran larvae\&nbsp;(macrocentroid subcomplex). Helconini was raised to subfamily status, and was\&nbsp;recovered as sister to the macrocentroid subcomplex. Blacinae was demoted to tribal\&nbsp;status and placed within the newly circumscribed subfamily Brachistinae, which also\&nbsp;contains the tribes Diospilini, Brulleiini and Brachistini, all formerly in Helconinae.</p>
