Description

Species of the genus Protelenomus Kieffer (Platygastroidea, Scelionidae) are phoretic egg parasitoids of coreid bugs. The discovery, DNA sequencing, and molecular phylogenetic analysis of a Protelenomus species phoretic on Cletus punctiger (Dallas) (Hemiptera, Coreidae) shows that Protelenomus is a derived lineage of Trissolcus Ashmead. Protelenomus is treated as a junior synonym and a new species of phoretic Trissolcus, T. siliangae Yan, Chen & Talamas, is described from China.
