The genus is named after the combination of the remarkable rugose or carinate sculpture of the propodeum and ‘ <i>Mirax</i> ’, the type genus of the subfamily.</p> <p> <b>Distribution</b>. Oriental region (India and Taiwan).</p> <p> <b>Comparative diagnosis</b>. Propodeal sculpture within the Miracinae subfamily is a taxonomically stable character. The new genus <i>Rugosimirax</i> exhibit an intermediate condition of the propodeum i.e., propodeum without transverse carinae and more or less longitudinally or obliquely (rugose-) carinate. Based on this character state, <i>Rugosimirax</i> <b>gen. nov.</b> could be placed near <i>Centistidea</i> as the propodeum is more or less carinate. Similarly, the new genus exhibits well developed and long fore wing vein R1 (longer than length of pterostigma, but short in <i>R. fereta</i> <b>comb. nov.</b>), which is a plesiomorphy. However, <i>Rugosimirax</i> <b>gen. nov.</b> is unique within the subfamily in having the ovipositor sheath with tuft of setae apically, the apical antennomeres quadrate in shape and (in two species) the fourth flagellomere bearing an acute apical tooth. This character state is unknown in the other two genera, <i>Mirax</i> and <i>Centistidea</i>. The propodeal sculpture and the shortening of the apical antennomeres are putative apomorphic character states of <i>Rugosimirax</i> <b>gen. nov.</b> Apart for these characters <i>Rugosimirax</i> <b>gen. nov.</b> exhibits plesiomorphic characters shared with <i>Centistidea,</i> viz., partial development of notauli and the state of posterior circular pits on the scutellum. The distance between posterior pits on the scutellum is probably of subgeneric importance as shown by the subgenus <i>Paracentistidea</i> of <i>Centistidea</i> has well separated posterior pits (van Achterberg & Mehrnejad 2002). The shape of the posterior pits is important to distinguish the new genus from both other genera. In conclusion, the new genus is similar to the genus <i>Centistidea,</i> but has several apomorphic characters to warrant a separate status.</p> <p> Considering the listed apomorphic character states exhibited by the new genus we transfer two species previously placed in the genus <i>Centistidea</i> to the new genus. <i>Centistidea fereta</i> (Papp & Chou 1996) <b>comb. nov.</b> and <i>Centistidea glabrator</i> (Ranjith & van Achterberg 2019) <b>comb. nov.</b></p> Key to species of <i>Rugosimirax</i> Ranjith & van Achterberg gen. nov. <p> 1.
