We obtained the first molecular data for\n                    <jats:italic>Pronkia<\/jats:italic>\n                    comprising sequences for five heritage gene fragments (the barcoding region of COI, the nuclear protein-coding elongation factor-1 alpha gene, and three ribosomal genes, 28S, 18S, and 16S) and analysed them together with data from a wide range of other non-cyclostome braconid subfamilies. None of our analyses support the inclusion of\n                    <jats:italic>Pronkia<\/jats:italic>\n                    within Meteorideinae; instead,\n                    <jats:italic>Pronkia<\/jats:italic>\n                    was placed in the strongly supported sigalphoid clade when each of the genes was analysed separately, as well as in the analysis of the combined dataset. In the latter, it was recovered as a sister group to Sigalphinae, but with very low support, essentially in a trichotomy with each of the three sigalphoid subfamilies monophyletic with both 100% UFB and SH-aLTR support.
