Hypoclypeal depression round or oval. Malar suture usually absent, and sometimes present but usually very shallow. Occipital carina upper usually distinct and complete, below often not reaching base of mandible and obliterated here. Scapus of antenna simple, without basal constriction and apical lobe.</p><p>Pronotal collar usually short, dorsally often convex and with distinct pronotal carina. Mesoscutum usually gently-roundly elevated above pronotum; mesoscutum with distinct and complete or rarely incomplete (present only anteriorly) notauli. Prepectal (epicnemial) carina complete, rather strong, sometimes ventrally coarse and wide. Propodeum without or with areas (at least basolateral ones) delineated by distinct carinae, areola present or absent.</p><p>Predominantly full-winged, but rarely (some Rhaconotus) present micropterous or apterous forms. Fore wing often hyaline, but sometimes maculated or infuscate. Pterostigma rather wide, only rarely ( Grangerdoryctes) narrowed. Second radiomedial (submarginal) cell usually medium-sized. Second radiomedial (r-m) usually present, but rarely absent second ( Grangerdoryctes, Pseudorhaconotus) or first radiomedial (2RS) ( Antespathius) veins. Recurrent (m-cu) vein often postfurcal (distal to first radiomedial vein (2RS)), more rarely interstitial or at least weakly antefurcal ( Rhacontsira, some species of Ipodoryctes and Rhaconotus). Parallel vein (CU1a) often interstitial, rarely not interstitial ( Bathycentor, Ipodoryctes, Mimipodoryctes, Rhacontsira) and arising before, from or behind middle of the vein (2CUa) closed brachial (subdiscal) cell posteriorly. Hind wing recurrent vein (m-cu) usually present, but often weakly sclerotised, sometimes absent.

In some cases ( Antespathius, Grangerdoryctes, Platyspathius, Rhacontsira) apical tergites less strongly sclerotised, with more tergites visible behind fifth (seven or eight) and usually much less sculptured in distal half of metasoma. Laterotergites (epipleura) of second and following tergites usually distinctly separated and spiracle situated on lateral parts of tergites near folds.

Fifth ( Euryphrymnus, Pseudorhaconotus, Rhaconotus) or sixth ( Arhaconotus, many Ipodoryctes, Mimipodoryctes, etc.) tergites more or less distinctly enlarged, often longer than previous ones; rarely these tergites in posterior margin with distinct submedian processes or median excision.

However, recent molecular phylogenetic studies that have included this taxon (Zaldívar-Riverón et al. 2008; Jasso-Martínez et al. 2019) have confirmed its placement within the tribe Rhaconotini (sensu nova) as a separate genus. Antespathius distinctly differs from the remaining Rhaconotini genera by having a considerable petiolate first metasomal tergite with strongly elongated acrosternite, equal to 0.6–0.7 times length of tergite, face with very dense, even and slender transverse aciculation (as on CD disc), and nervulus (cu-a) of fore wing distinctly antefurcal.

Species of Leptorhaconotus are characterized by having various exclusive morphological features, including metasomal tergites laterally evenly bend down at long distances; ventral margins of sixth tergite below almost connected or closely situated; metasoma tube-shaped in dissection; acrosternite of first metasomal segment elongated; ovipositor basally flat and wide, evenly narrowed toward apex, strong upcurved, without dorsoapical tubercles and ventro-apical serration; and ovipositor sheath wide and flat, leaf-shaped.

The recent molecular phylogenetic study for the tribe Rhaconotini (Jasso-Martínez et al. 2019) consistently showed that this genus should be only restricted to species of Rhaconotus with five dorsally visible metasomal tergites.</p><p>The apterous North American genus Aptenobracon Marsh, 1965 (with type species A. formicoides: Fig. 46) was deeply nested in the phylograms of the above phylogenetic study together with the New World Rhaconotus species. Brachyptery (reduction of the wings plate and venation) has been already recorded in the genus Rhaconotus for two species, Rh. brachypterus (Hesse, 1934) and Rh. hispanicus Belokobylskij, 2001, where such reduction of the wing was associated with transformation of metasomal structures (decreased mesothorax and enlarged prothorax and metathorax together with propodeum). The above phylogenetic affinities lead us to conclude that all diagnostic characters for Aptenobracon are only due to its loss of wings. We therefore consider Aptenobracon Marsh, 1965 syn. nov. as a junior synonym of Rhaconotus Ruthe, 1854 .</p><p>Study of rather numerous reared material for both sexes from Israel [3 ♀♀,Tarum, 25.II.1972,A.Goldstein leg., from Caryedon sp.; 2 ♂♂, Israel, II–III.1972, B.T.

Muhammadi leg.; 1 ♀, 7 ♂♂, Fars Province, Darab, coll 5.IV.2008 on Prosopis farcta (Fabaceae), A. Muhammadi leg.] revealed that Rhaconotus asiaticus Belokobylskij, 1990 syn. nov. (was originally described only for females) is a junior synonym of Rh. kerzhneri Belokobylskij, 1985, which was originally described only for males. Both sexes of this species are characterised by having a weakly shortened radial (marginal) cell of fore wing, but males additionally have a sharp sexual dimorphism, viz. the presence of double smoothed lateral areas on the second–fourth metasomal tergites (always absent in females).</p><p>The second metasomal tergite of several Rhaconotus species have transverse more or less lenticular apical area delineated anteriorly the transverse and usually curved sulcus (by different level of its development) and posteriorly by deep second suture. The anterior sulcus of the second tergite is a strongly variable structure (can be deep or shallow to very shallow), inclusive within a single species. The molecular phylogenetic study for the tribe Rhaconotini showed that the members of Rhaconotus s. str. with and without apical area on the second tergite are intermingled with other members of the genus (Jasso-Martínez et al. 2019).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AF1D4E27AD0F5F6AFDEBE053387E3AAC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
