The new doryctine genus Sergey gen. n. is described with four new species (S. cubaensis Zald\ívar-River\ón\ \& Mart\ínez, sp. n., S. coahuilensis Zald\ívar-River\ón \& Mart\ínez, sp. n., S. tzeltal Mart\ínez \& Zal\ídivar-River\ón, sp. n., S. tzotzil Mart\ínez \& Zal\ídivar-River\ón, sp. n.) from temperate forests of Mexico and\ Cuba. Similar to many other doryctine taxa, the new genus has a considerably elongated, petiolate basal\ sternal plate of the first metasomal tergite, although it can be distinguished from these by having the\ mesoscutum sharply declivous anteriorly with sharp anterolateral edges. The described species have been\ characterised molecularly based on two mitochondrial (COI, cyt b) and one nuclear (28S) gene markers.\ Based on the mitochondrial gene genealogies reconstructed, the evidence suggests the existence of incomplete\ lineage sorting or hybridization in the populations from Chiapas and Oaxaca assigned to S. tzeltal\ sp. n.

Braconidae has about 19,500 valid species, and Doryctinae is one of its most\ diverse subfamilies with over 1000 species in about 180 genera. However, the\ authors point out that the greater diversity of the group lies in the Neotropics,\ where there are about 70\% of the genera. In Brazil, have been recorded near 60\ genera, 32 for the Brazilian Amazon. However, these genera are known only by\ their type-localities, and their identification is so hardy due to the lack of keys for\ the region, and the ones that exist belongs to other regions and are outdated.\ Thus, the objective here was to conduct a taxonomic study of the Doryctinae\ genera occurring in the Brazilian Amazon. For its realization, mainly material from\ Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amaz\ônia (INPA) and Museu Paraense\ Em\ílio Goeldi (MPEG) were analyzed, besides other entomological collections of\ the Amazon region. The material was identified in part through the keys of Marsh\ (1997 and 2002) to the New World and Costa Rica, respectively and original\ descriptions. It was possible to analyze more than 900 specimens classified into\ 44 existing genera, beyond recognition of seven new genera and three new\ species, all here described. Barbalhoa Marsh, Curtiselloides Marsh, Pannuceus\ Marsh, Percnobracon Kieffer, Vanderentiellus Marsh and Bolivar Zald\ívar-River\ón \& Rodr\íguez-Jim\énez are new records for Brazil, while Aphelopsia\ Marsh, Neoheterospilus Belokobylskij, Panama Marsh and Ptesimogastroides\ Braet \& van Achterberg are news for the Brazilian Amazon region; besides 24\ genera had their records expanded within this region. The subfamily was\ recorded in almost all the states that comprise the Brazilian Amazon, except for\ Tocantins and Mato Grosso. The largest number of genera was found in\ Amazonas (44), followed by Par\á (23) and Roraima (20). It is suggested that\ further collection efforts should be concentrated on those states that had fewer\ genera registered (Rond\ônia, Mato Grosso, Tocantins and Maranh\ão) and also\ have greater risk of loss of biodiversity due to deforestation. The taxonomic\ analysis suggests the existence of a possible synonymy of Johnsonius Marsh\ under Semirhytus Sz\épligeti, and Aphelopsia Marsh under Callihormius\ Ashmead. The Notiospathius Matthews \& Marsh and Allorhogas Gahan have a\ great diversity within the region and should be studied separately in the future,\ considering the possibility of discovering new species in the first, and a better\ definition of it limits in the second.

Metasomal elongation is a common feature in species of various parasitoid Hymenoptera, probably due to adaptive morphological convergence to similar parasitoid strategies. The braconid subfamily Doryctinae is perhaps where this feature has evolved the most times independently. Here we recognise a new Neotropical doryctine wasp genus with a petiolate first metasomal tergum, based on molecular and morphological analysis. The phylogenetic affinities of the new genus within Doryctinae and the relationships among six of its described and three potentially cryptic, undescribed species were reconstructed using sequence data from three genes, wingless, 28SrDNA and COI. The new genus is resolved in a clade together with Semirhytus Sz\épligeti, Johnsonius Marsh and Parallorhogas Marsh. These four genera share vein m-cu of the hind wing slightly curved distally and the propodeum with a distinct lateral and median longitudinal carina and an apical areola. The relationships recovered among the examined species suggest a South American origin for the new genus and its subsequent diversification into Central America and Mexico. Described as Bolivar, gen. nov., this new taxon comprises eight species, two species previously placed within Notiospathius Matthews \& Marsh, B. ornaticornis (Cameron), comb. nov., and B. bribri (Marsh), comb. nov., and six new species (B. ecuadorensis, sp. nov., B. helmuthi, sp. nov., B. pittieri, sp. nov., B. risaraldae, sp. nov., B. teres, sp. nov. and B. tuxtlae, sp. nov.).
