Twenty-nine species are treated, most of which have host caterpillar and food plant records, and all but one are new to science. The first host record for the agathidine genus Amputoearinus is given. Gnathopleurajosequesadai Sharkey, sp. nov. is reported as a hyperparasitoid of fly larvae, the first such record for the genus. The following new species are diagnosed primarily using COI barcode data; Sharkey is the authority for all: Agathidinae: Aerophilusdavidwagneri, Aerophilusfundacionbandorum, Aerophilusnicklaphami, Lytopylusdavidstopaki, Lytopylusdavidschindeli ; Alysiinae: Gnathopleurajosequesadai ; Braconinae: Braconandreamezae, Braconfranklinpaniaguai, Braconrafagutierrezi, Braconguillermoblancoi, Braconoscarmasisi, Braconpauldimaurai, Braconshebadimaurae, Saciremakarendimaurae ; Cheloninae: Chelonusminorzunigai ; Homolobinae: Homolobusstevestroudi ; Macrocentrinae: Macrocentrusmichaelstroudi ; Orgilinae: Stantoniagilbertfuentesi ; Rhysipolinae: Rhysipolisstevearonsoni ; Rogadinae: Aleiodeskaydodgeae, Aleiodeskerrydresslerae, Aleiodesjosesolanoi, Aleiodesjuniorporrasi, Aleiodesrocioecheverri, Aleiodesronaldzunigai, Choreborogasjesseausubeli, Triraphisdoncombi , and Yeliconesmayrabonillae .
