Abstract

A new genus and species of the braconid subfamily Euphorinae, Palaeorionis longicaudisgen. et sp. nov., is described and illustrated from Miocene Dominican amber. This new genus is characterised by the long and tube-shaped petiole, presence of both radiomedial (2-SR and r-m) veins on the infuscate fore wing and long ovipositor.
