Seven new Mexican species of the gall associated doryctine genus Allorhogas are described, illustrated and\ molecularly characterized: A. amuzgo sp. nov., A. coccolobae sp. nov., A. crassifemur sp. nov., A. jaliscoensis sp. nov.,\ A. marshi sp. nov., A. parvus sp. nov., and A. scotti sp. nov. These new species were collected in tropical dry forests\ situated along the Pacific coast of Mexico in the states of Jalisco, Oaxaca and Guerrero. Allorhogas coccolobae was\ reared from leaf galls probably induced by an unidentified cecidomyiid (Diptera) on Coccoloba barbadensis Jacq.,\ representing the first record of this genus on Polygonaceae galls. A key to the described Mexican species of Allorhogas\ is provided.

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.).

A new species of Lissodoryctes Marsh 2002 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Doryctinae) is described from Brazil. This species is morphologically similar to L. zurquiensis Marsh, but differs by having the eyes blackish, fore and middle legs honey yellow, fore trochanter black, hind coxa reddish black; wings with stigma yellow, tegula black; frons smooth; malar space about 0.3 the eye height; and the first and second metasomal terga rugose. The discovery of this new species substantially extends the known distribution of this genus in the Neotropical Region.

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.
