Abstract: Members of the Monoctonina subtribe have long been neglected in applied studies of
the subfamily Aphidiinae, due to their low economic importance, as they do not parasitize pests
of cultivated plants. Consequently, data about this group are scarce, including its taxonomy and
phylogeny. In the present study, we explore inter- and intraspecific genetic variation of Monoctonina
species, including genera Monoctonus Haliday 1833, Monoctonia Starý 1962, Falciconus Mackauer
1959 and Harkeria Cameron 1900. We employ two molecular markers, the barcode region of the
mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and the D2 region of the 28S nuclear gene
(28S rDNA), to analyze genetic structuring and phylogeny of all available Monoctonina species,
and combine them with morphological data for an integrative approach. We report one new species,
and three potentially new species which can be formally described when further specimens are
available. Analysis of phylogenetic rel...ationships within the subtribe shows a basal position for the
genera Falciconus and Monoctonia, and the close relatedness of Harkeria and Monoctonus.
