Abstract

A new genus and species of parasitoid wasp is described from Burmese amber: Prototeleia kleiogen. nov., sp. nov. (Platygastroidea, Platygastridae). Prototeleia kleio exhibits multiple characters that we consider to be plesiomorphic for Platygastridae. These characters are analyzed and discussed in the context of extant and fossil taxa.
