times as long as broad behind, beyond pair of spiracles parallel sided (Fig. 18) or slightly with converging sides (Fig. 19). Margin of scutum crenulate, otherwise together with further tergites polished. Third tergite slightly longer than second tergite, suture between them straight, shallow and smooth (Fig. 18). Ovipositor sheath as long as hind tibia or somewhat shorter. - Body usually brown to dark brown, less usually blackish brown; tegula yellow or brown. Legs either brown or yellow, coxae usually brown to dark brown. Wings subhyaline to faintly brownish fumous, pterostigma and veins opaque brownish. Specific features of the males (4 <$) - Similar to the female. Body 1.8-2.2 mm long. Antenna with 21-25 antennomeres. Head in dorsal view 1.7 times as broad as long. First tergite quadrate-subquadrate to 1.2(-1.3) times as long as broad behind. Tergites 2-3(-4) brownish yellowish; legs usually yellow, coxa dark. Hosts - Coleophora serratulae LINNAEUS (Lep. Coleophoridae) and Cydia nigricana FABRICIUS (Lep. Tortricidae). Both hosts new to the science. Distribution - Sweden, *EngIand, *Denmark, *Finland, *Hungary, *Greece, *Cyprus. Taxonomic position - Within the subgenus Glabrobracon the species Bracon claripennis stands nearest to B. pallicarpus THOMSON, their distinction is presented as follows: 1 (2) First tergite less long, quadrate-subquadrate to 1.2(-1.3) times as long as broad behind, its sides either parallel (Fig. 18) or slightly converging posteriorly (Fig. 19). Temple in dorsal view relatively more rounded (Fig. 14). Ovipositor sheath less long, as long as hind tibia or somewhat shorter. Third tergite slightly longer than second tergite (Fig. 18). 2: 1.8-2.4 mm, 0*: 1.8-2.2 mm B. (Gl.) claripennis THOMSON 2(1) First tergite long, 1.4-1.5 times as long as broad behind (Fig. 77). Temple in dorsal view relatively less rounded (Fig. 74). Ovipositor sheath long, as long as metasoma and mesosoma combined or slightly shorter than hind tibia + tarsus combined. Tergites 2-3 equal in length. Co 7 *: 1.8-2.2 mm B. (Gl.) pallicarpus THOMSON Bracon (Glabrobracon) colpophorus WESMAEL, (Figs 20-28) Braco (!) colpophorus WESMAEL, 1838: Nouv. Mém. Acad.
