A phylogenomic study of one of the major groups in the highly speciose family Braconidae, the subfamily Rogadinae, is provided. The analyses are based on data from genomic ultraconserved elements (UCEs), recovering the monophyly of Rogadinae including the tribe Betylobraconini. It was found that the closely related subfamilies Lysiterminae and Hormiine are not reciprocally monophyletic, based on which the synonymy of the mentioned groups is suggested.
