Previous research has shown interesting features in hymenopteran mitochondrial genomes.

The analysis employing 96 phylogenetically informative characters was performed using the computer- ized parsimony programmes PAUP and Hennig86. The cladograms obtained show that the Bracon- idae can be divided into three major groups of subfamilies. These are a lineage comprising the mainly ectoparasitic cyclostomes and relatives, and two advanced endoparasitic groups, both apparently derived from somewhere near the endoparasitic cyclostome subfamily Rogadinae Foerster, 1862 sensu stricto. As a result of the phylogenetic analysis subfamily rank is given to the Exothecinae Foerster, 1862 (including the Hormiini Foerster, 1862), the Rhyssalinae Foerster, 1862 (including the Pambolini Marshall, 1885), the Charmontinae van Achterberg, 1979, and the Microtypinae Sz{\'e}pligeti, 1908. The tribes Meteorini Cresson, 1887 and Muesebeckiini Mason, 1969 are retained as tribes because this anal- ysis did not provide conclusive arguments to separate these groups from the Euphorinae Foerster, 1862 sensu stricto and the Ichneutinae Foerster, 1862 sensu stricto, respectively. The limits of the sub- family Rogadinae Foerster, 1862 are narrowed to include only endoparasitic taxa.}, keywords = {Braconidae, metasomal, morphology, ovipositor-shape, phylogeny, subfamilies}, isbn = {0000000000}, author = {Quicke, D.L.J. and Achterberg, C. van} } @article {200, title = {Doryctorgilus gen. nov. and other new taxa, with a study of the internal microsculpture of the ovipositor in the subfamily Orgilinae Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)}, journal = {Zoologische Mededelingen Leiden}, volume = {77}, year = {2003}, pages = {127-152}, abstract = {

One new monotypic genus of the subfamily Orgilinae Ashmead, 1900 (type species: D. morvanae spec. nov.), two new species of the genus Podorgilus van Achterberg, 1994 (P. nemorensis spec. nov. and P. luteus spec. nov.) and one new species of the genus Agathis Latreille, 1804 (A. depressifrons spec. nov.) are described. The internal microsculpture of the ovipositor in several genera of the subfamily Orgilinae has been examined and revealed several new features with a potentially high phylogenetic value. A cladistic analysis has been performed with some of these new character-states which corroborate the recognition of the tribe Mimagathidini Enderlein, 1905 (excluding the subtribe Mesocoelina Viereck, 1918), and support the division of this subfamily into three tribes. The study of the genera Bentonia and Stantonia showed the need of an accurate analysis to verify the status of the genus Bentonia.

Eleonoria gen. nov.

Keys to the species of Eleonoria gen. nov. and the genus Orgilonia van Achterberg are included. Eleonoria chuchiensis (Chou, 1995) is a new combination. The tribe Mesoscoelini Viereck, 1918 (= Aneurobraconinae Fahringer, 1936) is removed from the subfamily Agathidinae and included in the Orgilinae and synonymised with the tribe Mimagathidini (syn. nov.).
