Morphological convergence is a frequently observed pattern that occurs in species with similar environments, trophic niches, and/or life history strategies. In particular, adaptive morphological convergence is common in small, highly diverse invertebrate taxa sharing similar life history strategies such as parasitoidism. The genus Notiospathius is a braconid parasitoid wasp group with a vast, undetermined number of species distributed throughout the Neotropics. Members of this genus possess a considerably elongated, petiolate first metasomal tergite. This structure, however, also occurs in species of other doryctine genera, both closely and distantly related, probably due to adaptation for attacking wood and bark boring coleopteran larvae. Here we investigated the phylogenetic relationships among 117 species assigned to Notiospathius, including species of its closely related genera Masonius and Tarasco, as well as members of a number of other doryctine genera in order to test its monophyly. Separate and concatenated Bayesian partitioned analyses were carried out using two mitochondrial and three nuclear gene markers. The influence of each gene on the overall topology was verified using a cross-validation analysis for each marker with a ‘‘leave-one-out’’ approach. Moreover, the historical biogeography of Notiospathius was assessed calculating divergence time estimates of clades with BEAST and performing ancestral area reconstruction analyses both with RASP (Bayesian and S-DIVA) and Lagrange (DEC). All analyses recovered a polyphyletic Notiospathius consisting of three separate clades that were more related to other doryctine genera than to each other. The relationships reconstructed could not be used to confidently establish the limits of Notiospathius with respect to its closely related genera Tarasco and Masonius, and thus the generic status of the latter two taxa is maintained. Our divergence time estimates and ancestral area reconstructions indicate that the most recent common ancestor of Notiospathius sensu stricto originated in the Caribbean subregion during the Oligocene–Miocene boundary, and subsequently diversified during the mid- to late Miocene, radiating throughout the Neotropics.

For the first time an ichneumonoid parasitoid is reported from the peach flatheaded rootborer Capnodis tenebrionis (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) in a heavily infested plum and apricot orchard in south-western Sicily. In 2005 and 2006 the ecology of the ectoparasitoid Spathius erythrocephalus Wesmael, 1838, (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) was studied. The larvae are ectophagous and gregarious; obviously the parasitoid search for the large buprestid larval (6.0 ± 0.4 cm). The adult parasitoid appeared in both cultivations in August and/or September and selected only the mature larvae for oviposition. In 2006 35% of the rootborer larvae on plum were parasitized. Significant differences were found between the mean depth in the soil in which parasitized and non-parasitized larvae were found, although C. tenebrionis larvae closest to the level of the soil surface are the easier to reach. The parasitoid is able to search for and parasitize host larvae up to a soil depth of 20 cm. No significant difference was found in the distribution of the parasitoid with respect to the compass orientation within the tree. Spathius erythrocephalus is a new promising antagonist for the biological control of the noxious peach flatheaded rootborer.

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.

The genus Psenobolus Reinhard, 1885 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Doryctinae) is revised and six new species are described and illustrated. As far as is known the species live as inquilines in galled flowers inside the syconia of the genus Ficus subgenus Urostigma section Americana only, the males are known to fight with each other.
Note:
Psenobolus plesiomorphus have been transfered to the genus Plesiopsenobolus in 2014 [bib]1822[/bib].

Pseudorhaconotus enervatus gen. nov. & spec. nov. (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Doryctinae) from Spain is described and illustrated. The new genus is similar to the genus Rhaconotus Ruthe, 1854, but differs by the lack of vein r-m of the fore wing and by the absence of dorsope on the first metasomal tergite.

The West Palaearctic species of the genera Gildoria Hedqvist, 1974, and Platyspathius Viereck, 1911 (Braconidae: Doryctinae) are revised. Five new species are described and illustrated: Gildoria elongata spec. nov. from Canary Islands, G. gijswijti spec. nov. from France, G. iberica spec. nov. from Spain, G. striata spec. nov. from Morocco and Platyspathius europaeus spec. nov. from France and Italy. The genus Gildoria is re-instated, Gildoria anthaxiae (Belokobylskij, 1983), G. grandis (Fahringer, 1930), G. planus (Ratzeburg, 1848), G. similis ( Bouc˘ek, 1955) and G. titubata (Papp, 1985) are new combinations, and Dendrosotinus ilanotensis Capek, 1992, is synonymized with Gildoria titubata (Papp, 1985). Doryctes lenticularis Granger, 1949, is designated as type species of the subgenus Lenticularia nov. from Madagascar. A key to the species of both genera is added.

Oroceguera andersoni n. gen. and n. sp., an apterous braconid in the subfamily Doryctinae is described from Costa Rica. Portions of the diagnostic keys from Marsh (1997; 2002) are combined and updated to include this new genus. Diagnostic features are presented to distinguish it from other Doryctinae; its unusual morphology is discussed and conjecture is made on life history.

Members of two endemic Australian genera of Braconidae, the helconine Trichiohelcon and the doryctine Acanthodoryctes, possess remarkable dense setosity around the propodeum and anterior metasomal segments which gives these regions a brilliant silvery-white appearance that contributes greatly to their overall colour patterns. Scanning electron micrographs are presented showing that two very different modified hair structures are involved, flattened ones in Acanthodoryctes and fused ones in Trichiohelcon. Diagnostic features of Trichiohelcon, Acanthodoryctesand two other genera of Braconidae parasitic on Phoracantha with similarly coloured species,Callibracon and Syngaster, are described and illustrated. Gymnoscelus rufoniger Turner is transferred to Trichiohelcon and features enabling its separation from T. phoracanthae are illustrated. Possible reasons for the evolution of the specialized reflective setae and their consequent effects on overall colour pattern are discussed in the general context of the development of homeochromy between species with linked life histories such as parasitoids and their hosts or predators and their prey, and the occurrence of this type of mimicry is surveyed.
