| Abstract: | ABSTRACT. A phylogenetic analysis of the genera of the euphorine braconid tribes Perilitini, Dinocampini and Euphorini was conducted to determine the correct placement of the eximius Muesebeck species-group, which has formerly been placed in Perilitus Nees. Results indicate that the eximius-gxoxvp cannot be validly assigned to Perilitus , rather, it should be assigned to a new genus in the tribe Euphorini. Ononis gen.n. is described to include O.eximius (Muesebeck) comb.n. and O.masoni sp.n. |
