Discovery of the Old World genus Rogas Nees (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Rogadinae) in the New World by DNA barcoding

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Morphological taxonomy and a molecular phylogenetic analysis led to the recognition of a new species of Rogas Nees from Costa Rica, R. shimborii Quicke & Sharkey, sp. nov. This represents the first discovery of the genus from the Americas; all previous records being the results of misidentifications and alternative interpretations. The new species is illustrated photographically, a minimalist diagnosis based on the COI DNA barcode is provided, supplemented by morphological and color diagnostic features.
