FOLIA ENTOMOLOGICA HUNGARICA ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK LX 1999 pp. 269-282 Bracon (Glabrobracon) dilatus sp. n. from Iran and Iraq with taxonomical remarks on several related species (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Braconinae) J. Papp Bracon (Glabrobracon) dilatus sp. n. from Iran and Iraq with taxonomic remarks on several related species (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Braconinae) — Description and taxonomic position of Bracon (Glabrobracon) dilatus sp. n. is presented. By its long ovipositor apparatus the new species is related to the following species: B. (G.) dolichurus Marshall, B. (G.) fumatus Szépligeti, B. (G.) lividus Telenga, B. (Lucobacon) meyeri Telenga, B. (G.) pineti Thomson and B. (G.) trypanophorus Marshall. The species B. (G.) dolichurus Marshall and B. (G.) fumatus Szépligeti are redescribed and their taxonomic position reassessed. The name B. (G.) csikii Szépligeti, 1901 is a new junior synonym of B. (G.) dolichurus Marshall, 1897 sen. syn. and the name dolichurus is revalidate over B. (G.) monticola Kokujev, jun. syn. Lectotypes and paralectotypes are desigated for B. (G.) brunneipennis Szépligeti, B. (G.) csikii and B. (G.) fumatus. With 39 original figures. INTRODUCTION The new species, Bracon (Glabrobracon) dilatus sp. n., is described on the basis of two female specimens, the holotype was taken in Iran and the paratype in Iraq. The ovipositor apparatus of the new species is one-and-a-half as long as the body and by this characteristic feature it is related to six Bracon species, i.e. five species belong to the subgenus Glabrobracon and one species to the subgenus Lucobracon, respectively. Redescriptiqns are presented for two species, Bracon (Glabrobracon) dolichurus Marshall and B. (G.) fumatus Szépligeti, both species are related to each other and the latter species to B. (G.) brunescens Fahringer et Schmiedeknecht and B. (G.) hilarellus Schmiedeknecht too. Further novelities are given in the abstract. In the descriptions of the species the following abbreviations are applied: Ocelli: OOL = shortest distance between hind ocellus and eye, POL = shortest distance between hind two ocelli. Wing venation (after Van Achterbertg 1979: 248-249): cu-a = transverse cubito-anal vein, m-cu = transverse medio-cubital vein, r = transverse radial vein, 1CU(1) and 2CU(1) = first and second sections of the discal vein, 1-M = basal vein, 2-SR = first transverse cubital vein, 3-SR and 4-SR - second and third sections of the radial vein.
