1 (2) Straw yellow tergites I-5(-6) behind with dark brown transverse streaks. Tergites 1-3 largely sculptured: first tergite behind, second tergite entirely and third tergite basally rugo-rugulose, first tergite twice as long as broad behind (Fig. 134). Temple in dorsal view somewhat more receded (Fig. 130). 4-SR distinctly twice as long as 3-SR and approaching tip of wing (Fig. 131). Hind femur broadest basally (Fig. 133). Pterostigma opaque yellow (Fig. 131). Ç: 13-14 mm S. virgulatus sp. n. 2(1) Reddish yellow tergites 1-5 without dark transverse streaks. Tergites 1-3 largely smooth, scutum of first tergite behind and second tergite around medio-basal field with short and rather longitudinal rugulosity, first tergite 1.2-1.4 times as long as broad behind (Fig. 20 in CtiiSHTl & QuiCKE 1996: 233). Temple in dorsal view receded (Fig. 135-136). 4-SR as long as 3-SR and ending far before tip of wing (Fig. 137). Hind femur broadest medially (Fig. 138). Pterostigma yellow, its distal half to third dark brown (Fig. 137). Ç: 9.8-14.5 mm S. oculatus SZEPLIGETI Taxonomic remarks - Recently CHISHTI & QuiCKE (1996) have revised the Stenobracon SZEPLIGETI, 1901 species distributed in the Indo-Australian Region where these species are important agent in controling the stem borer pests or Scirpophaga moth species (Lep., Pyralidae). Currently seven Stenobracon species are registered worldwide, they are listed below: brevis CHISHTI et QuiCKE, 1996 - Cambodia, Laos. Philippines clarus CniSHTl et QUICKE, 1996 - Australia, Papua New Guinea deesae (CAMERON, 1902) (Bracon) - Pakistan, India, Malaysia malensis CHISHTI et QuiCKE, 1996 - Burma, Malaysia, Indonesia nicevillei (BINGHAM, 1901 ) (Bracon) - India, Nepal, Sri Lanka oculatus SZEPLIGETI, 1901 - India, Laos, Malaysia, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia virgulatus sp. n. - Laos Acknowledgements - My sincere thank should go to the curators of five museums who kindly assisted me with a long-term loan of braconid type and authentic material promoting my taxonomic work. They are as follows: Dr. T. HuTLEJT (Zoological Institute and Museum, Warshaw), Mrs KLEINE-MÖLLHOFF and Dr. F. KOCH (Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin), Mrs S. LEWIS (The Natural History Museum. London), Dr. A. TAEGER (Deutsches Entomologisches Institut, Eberswalde) and Dr. C. ViLLEMANT (Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris). - The present study was supported by the Hungarian Scientific Research Fund (OTKA grant No. 17467). REFERENCES ACMTERBERG, C.
