Zootaxa 5737 (1): 96-104, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5737.1.4, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5737.1.4AbstractThe first undoubted discovery of a parasitoid ismarid wasp from Cenomanian Kachin amber is presented here. A new genus and species, Thyburia christophi gen. et sp. nov., is described and illustrated, based on a female holotype. The family Ismaridae is synonymised with the family Diapriidae and is considered here as the subfamily Ismarinae.
