}The Cryptini Petila new genus, from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, is proposed, described, illustrated, and cladistically compared with representative species of ten genera of the subtribe Lymeonina and six outgroup species. A total of 19 species and 87 characters were evaluated. All analyses clearly suggest that Petila must indeed be treated as a distinct genus, closest to Polycyrtidea Viereck. The species Petila capixaba, new species, is described and illustrated.

All analyses recovered all known Polyphrix species as a monophyletic group and an Amazonian origin of the genus, with species from northern Brazil appearing basally in the clade, while both Atlantic Forest species appear as sister groups.

The Cryptini Eknomia Santos et Aguiar gen. nov. is proposed, described, and cladistically compared with representatives of 40 outgroup genera from twelve cryptine subtribes and can be treated as a distinct genus.

The large New World genus Messatoporus Cushman is diagnosed, redefined, described, and its species revised, and the results also support the monophyletic group of Osprynchotina, in a clade including also Dotocryptus Brèthes.
Phylogeny and reclassification of Cryptini (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Cryptinae), with implications for ichneumonid higher‐level classification
- Biology

The first comprehensive phylogenetic study of the wasp tribe Cryptini is presented, based on 109 morphological characters and molecular data from seven loci, and shows little support for the current subtribal classification, with most subtribes recovered as polyphyletic.
