Stenocorse (Braconidae) is a doryctine wasp genus widely distributed from\ southern USA to central Argentina, and it has been reported to be ectoparasitoid of over 60\ bruchine (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) species. The genus currently contains a single\ described species, S. bruchivora (Crawford), though recent molecular and morphological\ evidence revealed that it is actually composed of various undescribed species. Here we\ redescribe S. bruchivora (Crawford) and describe five new species from various\ geographic regions along the Neotropics (S. atlanticus sp. nov., S. maesoi sp. nov.,\ S. pacificus sp. nov., S. rosabricenae sp. nov., S. sudamericanus sp. nov.) We could\ not morphologically distinguish S. atlanticus sp. nov. from S. pacificus sp. nov., though\ they can be consistently delimited both geographically and with mitochondrial and nuclear\ DNA sequence data. We include information about the host plant legumes where the\ recognised species of Stenocorse and their associated bruchines were reared. A key to the\ recognised species of Stenocorse is provided.

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.
