ter than metasoma or as long as hind tibia + basitarsus. Posterior end of ovipositor pointed (Fig. 40). Body yellow, legs also yellow. Palpi straw yellow. Scutum of first tergite behind and tergites 2-4(-5) with faint brownish tint. Scape and pedicel yellow, flagellum darkening yellowish greyish. Ovipositor sheath brownish. Wings subhyaline, pterostigma yellow, veins opaque yellow. Male and host unknown. The new species, Bracon (Bracon) gilvus sp. n., is nearest to B. (B.) dahuricus TELENGA, 1936 (Russia: Ussuri Region) considering their strongly rounded temple in dorsal view, polished propodeum with a distinct medio-longitudinal keel and radial cell reaching tip of wing. In a few respects the following three species are also similar to the new species: B. (B.) intercessor ab. subtilis (SZÉPLIGETI, 1901) (western Palaearctic Region, the nominate form Transpalaearctic), B. (B.) onukii WATANABE, 1932 (Japan, Korea) and B. (B.) schmidti KOKOUJEV, 1912 (Cyprus, Azerbaidzhan, Kazakhstan, Iran). The five species are distinguished with the following key: 1 (2) Propodeum entirely polished, i.e. without a medio-longitudinal keel. Temple in dorsal view rounded, about half as long as eye (Fig. 41). Suture between tergites 2-3 faintly bisinuate. Ovipositor sheath about as long as metasoma. Pterostigma opaque yellow. Çd: 3-5 mm B. (B.) intercessor ab. subtilis (SZÉPLIGETI) 2(1) Propodeum not entirely polished, either with sculpture of variable extent or with a medio-longitudinal keel. 3 (4) Propodeum almost entirely rugose to rugulose and above lunule with oblique rugae-rugulae (Fig. 42). Suture between tergites 2-3 straight. Otherwise similar to B. intercessor. °: 3-4 mm B. (B.) schmidti KOKOUJEV 4 (3) Propodeum not entirely rugose or rugulose, i.e. either partly (latero-anteriorly) or entirely smooth and shiny (Figs 36, 42). 5 (6) Head in dorsal view less transverse, ( 1.6-) 1.7-1.8 times as broad as long, temple rounded (Fig. 43). Propodeum medially rugose-rugulose and here with a keel not reaching fore margin of propodeum (Fig. 44). Antenna with 33-37 antennomeres. Ground colour of body reddish yellow eventually with blackish pattern on mesonotum, propodeum and tergites 1-3. Çd: 3-3.5 mm B. (B.) onukii WATANABE 6 (5) Head in dorsal view transverse, about twice as broad as long, temple strongly rounded or receded (Fig. 35). Propodeum polished and with a medio-longitudinal keel (Fig. 36). 7 (8) Antenna with 27 antennomeres, flagellomeres 2-6 3-2.7 times as long as broad apically. First tergite 1.25 times as long as broad behind, evenly broadening posteriorly (Fig. 39). Suture between tergites 2-3 bisinuate; tergites 2-6 granularly rugose, tergites 2-3 with striate elements (Fig. 39). Ovipositor sheath shorter than metasoma, i.e. as long as hind tibia + basitarsus. Body and legs yellow, tergites with faint brownish tint. Wings subhyaline, pterostigma yellow. Ç: 2.6 mm
