Papp Contribution to the braconid fauna of Hungary, XIII. Calyptinae - 2., Helconinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae). - A total of seventy-four braconid species are reported from Hungary divided in the calyptine tribe Triaspidini (47 species) and in the subfamily Helconinae (27 species). The tribe Triaspidini is represented by two genera (Schizoprymnus, Triaspis) and the subfamily Helconinae by eight genera (Aspicolpus, Baeacis, Cenocoelius, Diospilus, Dyscoletes, Helcon, Helconidea, Taphaeus), the latter genera are again assigned in three tribes. From among the seventy-four species 22 proved to be new to the fauna of Hungary. Four names are placed in synonymy. Localities of the species are presented according to the zoogeographical districts of the Carpathian Basin. INTRODUCTION Seventy-four braconid species are reported from Hungary, the species are assigned to two subfamilies, Calyptinae / Triaspidini and Helconinae (latter divided in three tribes: Cenocoeliini, Diospilini, Helconini) with 47 and 27 species, respectively. The triaspidine species belong to two genera (Schizoprymnus Foerster with 28 species and Triaspis Haliday with 19 species); the helconine species to eight genera: (Cenocoeliini:) Cenocoelius Westwood (2 species); (Diospilini:) Baeacis Fooerster (2 species), Diospilus Haliday (13 species), Dyscoletes Haliday (1 species), Taphaeus Wesmael (1 species); (Helconini:) Aspicolpus Wesmael (2 species), Helcon Nees (4 species), Helconidea Viereck (2 species). Further two diospiline species (Aspigonus diversicornis, Diospilus melanoscelus) are listed from the historical Hungary, from Transylvania (Romania) and Slovakia, respectively. The triaspidine and helconine material here discussed is deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest and partly in the Bakony Natural History Museum, Zirc. Faunistic and bionomical contributions were published for the Hungarian species of the tribe Triaspidini and for the subfamily Helconinae by Győrfi (1941, 1959), Papp (1981, 1983, 1987, 1991, 1992, 1996, 1997a, 19976, 1997c, 1998, Papp & RézbányaiReser 1996) and Szépligeti (1896a, 18966, 1898, 1900, 1901). Faunistic contributions for the countries adjacent to Hungary were published by Capek & Lukas (1989) for Slovakia, by ánoflák (1953) for former Czechoslovakia, Fischer (1965) and Zettel
