A Second Species of the Rogadine Genus, Batothecoides Watanabe, 1958 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from Thailand
A second species of the rogadine braconid wasp genus, Batothecoides Watanabe, 1958 is described from Thailand, the genus having been known only from the type species for the past 66 years. The new species, Batothecoides sirindhornae Ranjith, Butcher & Quicke, sp. nov., is distinguished from the type species of the genus, B. yakushimensis (Watanabe, 1938), by morphology, color and DNA sequence data. The type species is redescribed based on images of the holotype. A molecular phylogeny of all members of the subtribe Spinariina for which barcode data are available is presented.
