New genus records three new species from Borneo, indicating biodiversity gaps in the region.
The wood-boring endoparasitoid beetle genus Wroughtonia Cameron (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Helconinae) is quite diverse in the Oriental region, yet its equatorial fauna remains poorly understood. In this study, the genus is reported for the first time from Borneo. Three new species from Brunei are described and illustrated: Wroughtonia vermiculata Yan & Polaszek, sp. nov ., W. belalongensis Yan & Polaszek, sp. nov . and W. variivena Yan & Polaszek, sp. nov . A key to the species of Wroughtonia from Borneo is provided.
