Abstract
The bethylid wasp subfamily Pristocerinae is revised and its possible phylogenetic relationships are discussed. The cladistic analysis indicated that the clade ((Dicrogenium+Neodicrogenium)+Kathepyris) is positioned basally, and Pristocera and Acrepyris constitute the earlier branches of the cladogram. After that there is a division into two groups : (((Afgoiogfa+Parascleroderma)+Prosapenesia)+Diepyris) and the rest. Subgenus Acrepyris of the genus Pristocera is raised to the generic state. A key to the genera of the world is presented.
