The cladistic analysis of the genera of Labeninae by Gauld is reviewed
. The tribus Brachycyrtini is removed from Labeninae. While generic re
lationships within Gauld's tribus are essentially unchanged, a differe
nt set of tribus relationships was found. At the generic level, Apecho
neura Kriechbaumer 1890 is synonymized with Certonotus Kriechbaumer 18
89 (n. syn.) Macrogrotea Brethes 1916 is synonymized with Grotea Cress
on 1864 (n. syn.) and Echthropsis Brethes 1916 maintained as a synonym
of Grotea. The mature larva of Labium Brulle 1846 is described for th
e first time. The Brachycyrtini are hypothesized to be the sister-grou
p of Phygadeuontinae + Ichneumoninae, and are elevated to subfamilia r
ank. Within Brachycyrtinae, Habryllia Walkley 1956 is synonymized with
Brachycyrtus Kriechbaumer 1880 (n. syn.).
