A new tribe of the subfamily Doryctinae from Papua New Guinea (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
S.A. Belokobylskij
Abstract. Siragra nitida Cameron from New Guinea is redescribed and figured. This genus has such important morphological characters as loss of the prepectal and occipital carinae, presence of propodeal bridge (“pseudosternite”) and special apical process of scapus margined by strong lateral carinae. The new tribe Siragrini trib. n. is established for this genus.
