Title: The oldest trigonalid wasp in the Late Albian amber of Charente-Maritime (SW France) (Hymenoptera : Trigonalidae)
Abstract: Albiogonalys elongatus gen. n., sp. n., oldest known representative of the family Trigonalidae, is described from the Late Albian amber of France. It could be placed in a very basal position, as sister group of the modern representatives of the family. The positions of the fossil taxa currently attributed to this family are discussed. Except for Cretogonalys taimyricus Rasnitsyn 1977, almost all of these taxa are too poorly preserved or described for accurate attributions to this family.
