            <p> Etymology. We dedicate the genus to the Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (  ATREE ), a global environmental think tank and leading research institution commemorating their 25 years of active contributions in the fields of biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. </p>
            <p>Distribution. Indomalayan region (India and Taiwan).</p>
            <p> Comparative diagnosis. The new genus,  Atree share a more or less plesiomorphic character, presence of wide, crenulate groove on propleuron with other diospiline genera. But  Atree gen. nov. can be differentiated from the rest of genera in having a combination of characters viz., presence of deep pronope, second submarginal cell of fore wing parallel sided anteriorly and tarsal claw without basal lobe. The parallel-sided second submarginal cell of fore wing can be useful to separate the new genus from the diospiline genera,  Aspicolpus and  Vadumasonium . Additionally, the absence of curved longitudinal carina of first metasomal tergite clearly separate the new genus from  Vadumasonium . Based on this character the new genus comes close to the nearest genus,  Diospilus , but the former can be separated by a combination of characters like, presence of deep pronope, medial sulcus of propleuron widened anteriorly and tarsal claw without basal lobe. The new genus is also similar to the Australian genus,  Depelbus in having clypeus with distinct protrusion medio-ventrally. This character is likely a homoplastic character within the tribe  Diospilini , and it can be used as an intergeneric character only in combination with other characters. </p>
            <p> So far, antennal glands have been reported only in braconid subgenera  Aphidiinae (Aphidius) and  Ichneutinae (Paroligoneurus) (Quicke 2015). Till now, this character is completely unknown from  Brachistinae (Donald Quicke, personal communication). For the first time a glandular opening in the first flagellomere (Figs 4C, D) is reported from the  Brachistinae genus  Atree gen. nov. Detailed examination of the two Taiwanese species described in the genus  Baeacis (junior synonym of  Diospilus ) falls in line with the character boundaries of the newly described genus. So, we hereby transfer these species to  Atree gen. nov. as,  A. improcerus comb. nov. and  A. validus comb. nov. However,  A. improcerus comb. nov. does not have the medio-longitudinal carina at the frons. The new genus,  Atree belongs to the diospiline genus group (  Aspigonus group) having distinct, anteriorly widened medial groove on propleuron and deep pronope. </p>
