Abstract
Genera of the braconid subfamily Doryctinae are revised for Australasia, a region defined as Australia and its dependencies, New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Fiji, New Caledonia, New Zealand and the near islands of Indonesia. We present a diagnosis of each genus, descriptions of new genera and species, an illustrated key to genera, and review information on the classification, relationships, biology, species diversity, distribution patterns and likely origins of the Australasian fauna. In total, 12 genera, 35 species and one subspecies are described as new for the region.
