Abstract

The phylogenetic relationships among representatives of 64 genera of the cosmopolitan parasitic wasps of the subfamily Doryctinae were investigated based on nuclear 28S rDNA (~650bp of the D2-3 region) and COI mtDNA (603bp) sequence data. Monophyly of several widely distributed genera was also tested and the biogeography of the subfamily was inferred. The partitioned Bayesian analyses performed do not recover a monophyletic Doryctinae, though the relationships involved were weakly supported. Strong evidence was found for rejecting the monophylies of Dendrosoter, Doryctes, Ontsira, Rhaconotus, and Spathius. A dispersal-vicariance analysis showed a strong geographical signal for the taxa included, with molecular dating estimates for the origin of Doryctinae and its subsequent radiation occurring during the Eocene. The divergence time estimates suggest that diversification in the subfamily could have in part occurred due to the continental break-up events that took place in the southern hemisphere, though more recent dispersal events account for the current distribution of several widespread taxa. Several taxonomic inferences are made to the higher level classification of Doryctinae.
