Review describes new genus and two new species of parasitoids from Brazil and El Salvador, suggesting increased diversity in the New World.
Proteroptine braconids, koinobiont endoparasitoids of sawfly larvae, are speciose and diverse in the New World though rarely collected worldwide. Here we describe a new genus, Bicariniproterops Liu and Polaszek gen. n. with a new species, Bicariniproterops brasiliensis Liu and Polaszek, sp. n. from Brazil. A new species of Proterops, P. spinatus Liu and Polaszek, sp. n. is described from El Salvador. An illustrated key to the New World Proterops is provided.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:423605AD-1728-489E-9EFE-6ADEC499A360
