Type species: Biroia elegans Szépligeti, 1900 .
Isoptronotum Enderlein, 1920 , synonymized by Sharkey et al. (2006). Type species: Isoptronotum taeniocauda Enderlein, 1920 .
Distribution: Old world tropical, including African, Oriental, and Australian regions. Bhat and Gupta (1977) used the name Isoptronotum for the same concept, and it here considered a junior synonym (following Sharkey et al. 2006). Bhat and Gupta (1977) included 10 species (of the present concept of Biroia ) in the Oriental Region. No specimens have been recorded from Th ailand but we have collected one or two species; that is, one polymorphic species or two closely related species.
Diversity: 29 species are known of which 12 are recorded from the Oriental region.
Biology: Unknown, the long ovipositors suggest concealed hosts.
Phylogenetic Information. Sister to Zacremnops , a small genus with a Neotropical distribution ( Sharkey et al. 2006).
Taxonomic Information. Most authors treated species under Isoptronotum prior to Sharkey et al. (2006).
Diagnosis: Mesoscutum smooth, lacking notauli (Fig.7a); fore and mid claws bifid (Fig. 2a), lateral carina of frons lamellate (high and thin) (Fig. 8a); ovipositor more than half length of metasoma ( Fig.20a).
