Rhynchopsenellinae Lepeco and Melo, 2024

Lepeco, Anderson & Melo, Gabriel A. R., 2024, Revisiting the phylogeny of the scolebythid wasps (Hymenoptera: Aculeata) through Bayesian model evaluation and parsimony, with description of a new fossil family of Chrysidoidea, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 201, pp. 57-85 : 70

Subfamily † Rhynchopsenellinae Lepeco and Melo , subfam. nov.

Type genus: † Rhynchopsenella Lepeco and Melo, 2022a .

Included genera: † Libanobythus Prentice et al., 1996 ; † Rhynchopsenella Lepeco and Melo, 2022a .

Diagnosis: Setae on tibiae shorter than the maximum width of the tibia; setae on tarsomeres shorter than the width of basitarsus; medial cell and submarginal cell closed by tubular veins; apex of marginal cell open.

Comments: Although we consider that a precise placement of † Libanobythus would require examination of the type specimen, we tentatively include it in † Rhynchopsenellinae subfam. nov. based mainly on the pubescence of the legs and wing venation.
