Microgastrinae is a megadiverse subfamily of wasps in the family Braconidae. As parasitoids of caterpillars, members of the subfamily play important roles in regulating native caterpillar populations, and several species are used commercially as biological control agents. The genus comprises a large portion of total microgastrine diversity, however it has not been studied in Australia for more than 30 years, with only nine described species previously known from the continent. We explore the diversity and systematics of in Australia, using cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and Wingless (wg) DNA barcodes from more than 400 Australian specimens. Using molecular species delimitation in combination with reduced morphological diagnoses, at least 48 distinct molecular lineages of are confirmed in Australia, and 34 new species are formally described, all authored by Slater-Baker, Fagan-Jeffries, Fernández-Triana, Portmann & Oestmann: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and .

小腹茧蜂亚科是茧蜂科中一个具有高度多样性的黄蜂亚科。作为毛虫的寄生蜂，该亚科成员在调节本地毛虫种群数量方面发挥着重要作用，并且有几个物种被商业用作生物防治剂。该属占小腹茧蜂总多样性的很大一部分，然而在澳大利亚已经有30多年没有对其进行研究了，此前已知该大陆仅有9种已描述的物种。我们利用来自400多个澳大利亚该属标本的细胞色素c氧化酶亚基I（COI）和无翅（wg）DNA条形码，探索澳大利亚该属的多样性和系统发育。结合分子物种界定和简化的形态学诊断，在澳大利亚确认了至少48个该属不同的分子谱系，并正式描述了34个新物种，所有新物种均由斯莱特 - 贝克、费根 - 杰弗里斯、费尔南德斯 - 特里亚纳、波特曼和奥斯特曼命名：，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，。
