Full title: Phylogenomics of Ichneumoninae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) reveals pervasive morphological convergence and the shortcomings of previous classifications

DOI: 10.1111/syen.12484

Major taxonomic changes: Ichneumoninae taxonomy is revised to comprise 7 tribes (3 in our area: Ichneumonini, Phaeogenini, and Platylabini). Heresiarchini, Joppocryptini, and Listrodromini are all sunk under Ichneumonini.

Monophyletic subdivisions of the revised Ichneumonini include a Listrodromus-group (former Listrodromini), Callajoppa-group, Protichneumon-group (former Protichneumonina), and an Amblyteles-group (Ctenichneumon, Diphyus, Ectopimporpha, Eutanyacra, Limerodops, Neamblymorpha, Netanyacra, Spilichneumon, Setanta, and Tricholabus).
