A morphological and molecular analysis ofGryonHaliday (Platygastroidea, Scelionidae) was conducted to provide a taxonomic and phylogenetic context for a species under evaluation as a biological control agent ofBagrada hilaris(Burmeister) (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae). Our analysis revealed thatGryonis polyphyletic and that the biological control agent is notG. gonikopalense, a name that was tentatively applied to this species in 2019. We here describe this species as new,Gryon aetheriumTalamassp. nov., and resurrect the generic nameHadronotusFörster. Morphological characters that delimit our concepts ofGryonandHadronotusare presented. Based on morphological characters and multilocus phylogenies, we determined that five presently valid scelionid genera belong withinGryon. In total, 15 species are transferred intoGryonfrom these genera, 215 species are transferred fromGryontoHadronotus, and 6 species are transferred fromGryontoDyscritobaeusPerkins. Specimens collected during field studies in California and reevaluation of specimens determined asG. myrmecophilumin Mexico reveal thatG. aetheriumis adventive in North America.
