Abstract

A review of the literature and application of the latest rules show that the justified emendation Paxylommatidae Foerster 1862 is the correct family-group name for Hybrizon Fallén 1813. Because Hybrizon lacks the chief apomorphy of braconids, fused metasomal terga II and III, and also lacks a major apomorphy of ichneumonids, loss of 1r-m and retention of 2r-m in the hindwing, it is placed in a separate family. Some unusual antennal sensilla are illustrated.

Résumé

Une étude bibliographique et l’application des plus récentes règles montrent que la variante corrigée et justifiée de Paxylommatidae Foerster 1862 est le nom de famille correct pour désigner Hybrizon Fallén 1813. Puisque Hybrizon ne possède pas la principale apomorphie des braconidés, les terga II et III métasomaux soudés ni une apomorphie importante des ichneumomidés, perd la 1r-m et conserve la 2r-m de l’aile postérieure, on le classe dans une famille distincte. L’ouvrage illustre quelques sensilles antennales de forme inhabituelle.
