A revision of the wasp genus Paniscomima (Hymenoptera : Rhopalosomatidae) and a proposal of phylogenetic relationships among species

Thanks to all the institutions that lent specimens for this project. Particularly helpful were John Huber at CNCI, and David Wahl at AEIC. Thanks to D. C. Darling and D. C. Currie for their valuable comments and guidance through the duration of this work. This work was supported in part by an NSERC operating grant to D. C. Darling. For editing many versions of this manuscript and technical assistance, thank you Andy Bennett. Thanks also to John Swann, and Patrice Stephens-Bourgeault. I thank the anonymous reviewers who took the time to review this paper and provided me with valuable comments and suggestions. Thank you to my parents, Emidio and Angela, for caring for my sons Colin and Mason so I could finish this paper. Finally, I dedicate this work to my husband, Chris Walton, whose support throughout this project meant I was able to complete it.
