105 Braconinae Specimens with Five-Gene Phylogenetic Data

105 Braconinae wasp specimens, along with five outgroup taxa, are listed with provenance and genetic identifiers. The dataset supports a taxonomic review of the genus Philomacroploea, including new host and food plant records for Braconinae. It was authored by Mostafa Ghafouri Moghaddam and last updated on 2026-05-28.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic analysis based on five gene markers (COI, cytb, 16S, 28S D2–D3, EF1-α) mentioned in the description
• Studying host-parasitoid associations based on documented observations of oviposition attempts on Danaus and Tirumala butterflies
• Taxonomic classification and synonymy validation based on the review of Philomacroploea species
• Geographic distribution analysis based on specimen provenance data, including the first report from Hong Kong

Strengths

• Includes 105 Braconinae specimens and five outgroup taxa for phylogenetic context
• Links specimen data to external genetic databases via BOLD Process IDs and GenBank accession numbers
• Provides new host and food plant records for the subfamily, documented in the description

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specimens collected
