The two species are distinguished by the following features: 1 (2) Temple in dorsal view receded (Fig. 45). Radial vein reaching tip of wing (cf. Fig. 15). Face and frons granular. Body black with rusty red pattern laterally on tergites. Ç: 3.4 mm B. (B.) merseli sp. n. 2(1) Temple in dorsal view rounded (Fig. 49). Radial vein approaching tip of wing (Fig. 50). Face and frons polished. Body reddish yellow with more or less black(ish) pattern. Çd: (2.5-)4-5.5 mm B. (B.) luteator ab. nigripedator (NEES) Figs 45-52. 45-48: Bracon (Bracon) merseli sp. n.: 45 = head in dorsal view, 46 = cheek and mandible in latero-frontal view, 47 = hind femur, 48 = tergites 1-3. 49-50: Bracon (Bracon) luteator ab. nigripedator (NEES): 49 = head in dorsal view, 50 = distal part of right fore wing. 51-52: Bracon (Bracon) trucidator MARSHALL: 51 = head in dorsal view, 52 = first discal cell (Dl) of fore wing
