Abstract
Pteroceraphron is a morphologically distinct genus of ceraphronid wasps known only from few female specimens of two species, Pteroceraphron mirabilipennis Dessart, 1981 from the Nearctic Region and P. apoorva Bijoy & Rajmohana, 2021 from the Oriental Region. Our study provides the first report and description of male specimens of the genus Pteroceraphron , the first record of Pteroceraphron mirabilipennis Dessart, 1981 from the Neotropics (Costa Rica), including the first DNA barcode data, as well as an updated diagnosis for the genus.
