Afrotropical-north American disjunct distribution of Minanga (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) with the description of a new species and first record for the new world

Previously known only from seven Afrotropical species, this article describes a new species of Minanga from northern Mexico. Speculations are made on the biogeographic history of the genus. Specialized glands on the vertex of the head and modified setae on the hind tibia are illustrated with high magnification scanning electron micrographs.
