Three genera of the subfamily Doryctinae Foerster, 1862 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) are treated and keyed: Ptesimogaster Marsh, 1965, Caingangia Marsh, 1993, and Leptodoryctes Barbalho \& Penteado-Dias, 1999. The latter genus is characterised by the presence of an apical setal comb on the hind tibia. Two new genera are described: Ptesimogastroides gen. nov. (type species: P. cerdai spec. nov. from French Guiana and Brazil) and Dicarinoryctes gen. nov. (type species: D. apicalis spec. nov. from French Guiana). A further three new species are described: Caingangia delicata spec. nov. from French Guiana, Leptodoryctes barbalhoae spec. nov. from French Guiana, and Ptesimogaster lemkoi spec. nov.b from Brazil. Pseudorhoptrocentrus platyfemur (Marsh, 1993) is a new combination.

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.

From French Guyana four new genera of the subfamily Doryctinae Foerster, 1862 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)\ with six new species (Lamquetia gen. nov.; type species: L. rufa Braet \& van Achterberg, spec.\ nov., L. marshi Braet \& Barbalho, spec. nov.), Ondigus gen. nov. (type species: O. bicolor spec. nov.),\ Neostaphius gen. nov. (type species: N. striatus spec. nov.), and Dapsilitas gen. nov. (type species: D.\ bicolor spec. nov.; D. robustisoma Braet \& van Achterberg, spec. nov.) are described. In addition, three\ new species of the genera Achterbergia Marsh, 1993 (A. cornicoxa Braet \& Barbalho, spec. nov.), Aphelopsia\ Marsh, 1993 (A. striata Braet \& Barbalho, spec. nov.) and Nervellius Roman, 1923 (N. exquisitus Braet\ \& Barbalho, spec. nov.) are described. Additional distributional data on Achterbergia arawak Marsh,\ 1993; Aphelopsia annulicornis Marsh, 1993; and Ptesimogasteroides cerdai Braet \& van Achterberg, 2001,\ are given. The internal microsculpture of the ovipositor of P. cerdai is illustrated. The genus Sharkeyelloides\ Marsh, 2002, is synonymized with Ptesimogastroides Braet \& van Achterberg, 2001 (syn. nov.).\ Keys to the species of the genera Achterbergia Marsh, Aphelopsia Marsh, Nervellius Roman, Lamquetia\ gen. nov., Dapsilitas gen. nov. and Ptesimogastroides Braet \& van Achterberg are given.
