Description
Summary:Two new genera and one new species of the Braconinae tribe Adeshini are described and illustrated: Ranjith & Quicke, , type species Ranjith, 2017, from India, and Quicke & Butcher, , type species Quicke & Butcher, from South Africa. The former lacks the mid-longitudinal propodeal carina characteristic of the tribe, and the latter displays less derived fore wing venation with two distinct abscissae of vein 2CU. A molecular phylogenetic analysis is included to confirm their correct placement. Since neither of the two new genera displays all of the characters given in the original diagnosis of the Adeshini a revised diagnosis is provided, as well as an illustrated key to the genera.
