Rasnitsynorytes alexandri gen. et sp.n., a new genus and species of the subfamily Doryctinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from Malaysia.

A new genus, Rasnitsynoryctes gen.n., with the type species R. alexandri sp.n., from Malaysian Peninsula is described and illustrated. The main diagnostic characters of the new genus are the short mediocubital cell of the hind wing, presence of the two longitudinal lateral furrows on the second metasomal tergite, the transformed inner tibial spur of the hind leg, and the dense pubescence over the most part of the body. The comparisons of the new genus with Neotropical and Oriental Pedinotus Szepligeti, Afrotropical Doryctoproctus Belokobylskij, and Oriental Halycaea Cameron are given.
