Phylogenetic affinities of the non-cyclostome subfamilies Amicrocentrinae and Dirrhopinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) confirmed by ultraconserved element data
In this work we generated for the first time genomic ultraconserved element data for members of the subfamilies Amicrocentrinae and Dirrhopinae (Amicrocentrum seyrigi van Achterberg and Dirrhope americana Muesebeck) to assess their phylogenetic affinities, using exhaustive taxon sampling that includes all but one of the currently valid braconid subfamilies. Our results strongly confirm the placement of both taxa within the non-cyclostome helconoid and microgastroid complexes, respectively.
