Papp, J.: First synopsis of the species of obscurator species-group, genus Bracon, subgenus Glabrobracon (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Braconinae)

Pterostigma (Fig. 80) 2.5-3 times, usually 2.6 times, as long as wide and issuing r proximally from its middle. Second submarginal cell short, somewhat narrow and small: 3-SR as long as to somewhat longer than 2-SR, both veins minutely cither longer or shorter each, 4-SR about three times as long as 3-SR and either approaching to (almost) reaching tip of wing. - First tergite (Fig. 81) 1.2-1.4 times as long as broad behind, beyond pair of spiracles parallel sided. Second tergite 3.3-3.4 times as broad behind as long, third tergite slightly longer than second tergite, suture between them almost straight, smooth. Tergites polished. Ovipositor sheath as long as hind tibia or somewhat shorter. - Body black, sometimes with brownish tint. Palpi blackish to dark brown. Legs also black(ish) to brownish black, at most hind tibia basally yellowish. Wings hyaline, pterostigma and veins brown. Specific features of the males (5 ó*) - Similar to the female. Body 1.9-2.2 mm long. Antenna clearly as long as three-fourths of body and with 16-18 antennomeres. Penultimate flagellomere twice as long as broad. Head in dorsal view 1.8-1.9 times as broad as long, temple rather rounded. Host unknown. Distribution - Sweden, *Czech Republic, *Slovakia, Hungary, Kazakhstan. Taxonomic position - Within the subgenus Glabrobracon the species Bracon parvicornis is nearest to B. marshalli SZÉPLIGETI, the two species are distinguished by the features presented in the key-couplets 23 (26)-26 (23), p. 234. B. pauris BEYARSLAN is also very near to B. parvicornis, their distinction see in the key-couplets 38 (41 MO (39), p. 236.
