03A387DCAC0A7E03C9FEFB45FC2E4471.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The Eocene aulacid genus Vectevania Cockerell, 1922 and the Mesozoic Electrofoenops Engel, 2017, Electrofoenus Cockerell, 1917, Exilaulacus Li et al., 2018, Paleoaulacus Jouault & Nel, 2021, Electrofoenia Jouault et al. 2020 differ from the new fossil in the narrower cell 1 M, a very short basal part of M, and an elongate 2 Rs + M (Cockerell, 1922; Jennings et al., 2004 c; Rasnitsyn, 2013; Engel, 2017; Turrisi & Ellenberger, 2019; Jouault et al., 2020; Jouault & Nel, 2021; Li et al., 2022). The Eocene genus Xuaulacites Hong, 2002, now considered as Braconidae nomen dubium, strongly differs from the new fossil in the very short basal part of Rs (Hong, 2002).	en	JOUAULT, CORENTIN, NEL, ANDRÉ (2022): The oldest crown representative of the family Aulacidae (Hymenoptera: Evanioidea) from the Paleocene of Menat (France).
