Uncobracon gen. n. (Figs 54-59) Type species - Bracon apoderi WATANABE, 1933: monotypic and orginal designation. Etymology - The generic name Uncobracon is a combination of the Latin name "unco" (= uncus, hook) and the taxon name Bracon, gender masculine. Description - In several respects the new genus is similar and related to the genus Bracon FABRICIUS, 1804, the distinctive features of the new genus are as follows: Cheek below with a hook-like process directed anteriorly (Fig. 54). Propodeum with a medio-longitudinal carina (Fig. 55). Second tergite subfoveolate-rugose, tergites 3-6 with discrete and separate (i.e. not confluent) punctures, interspaces polished (Fig. 58). Uncobracon apoderi (WATANABE) Bracon apoderi WATANABE, 1933: Insecta Matsumurana 7 (4): 180 Çd, type locality: Shizuoka, Honshu Island, Japan, holotype Ç (= "Type") in Entomological Department, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan; examined. - SHENEFELT 1978: 1616 (literature up to 1964). Material examined - Holotype and 1 d paratype (paratype from the same locality as the holotype). - 1 Ç: Korea, Kangwon Prov., Mts Kumgang, singled material along the pathway to Kuryong-popo, 12 July 1991, leg. Mészáros & Zombori, loc. No. 1553. - 3 ÇÇ (ab. testaceus ab. n., description see further on): 1 Ç: Korea, Mts Kumgang, Ruekhaam, taken with Malaise trap, 1012 July 1977, leg. Dely & Draskovits, loc. No. 358. - 1 Ç: Korea, Kangwon Prov., Mts Kumgang, Samil po, warm sunny day, Pinus densiflora forest with rich and partly degraded shrub-layer and underwood, sweeping and beating the vegetation, 18 June 1988, leg. Merkl & Szél, loc. No. 1324. - 1 Ç: Korea, North Pyongan Prov., Mts Myohyang, Hyangsan, singled material in the garden along the edge of the wood around Myohyangsan Hotel, very warm day with temperature around 35 °C, 3 July 1991, leg. Mészáros & Zombori, loc. No. 1491. Through Dr M. SUWA'S kindness (Entomological Department, Sapporo) I had the opportunity to check the type series (holotype ? and 1 6 paratype) of Bracon apoderi. Considering the modern requirements it seems expedient to complete WATANABE'

s original description regarding the specimens (i.e. four females) of the same species taken in Korea. Description (holotype Ç and 4 ÇÇ). - Body 3.5-4.5 mm long (3.5: 2 ÇÇ, 4: 1 ?. 4.5: 2 ÇÇ). Head in dorsal view (Fig. 53) transverse, 1.9-2 as broad as long, eye twice as long as temple, latter receded. Eye slightly protruding from outline of head (Fig. 53). Circular opening about onethird wider than shortest distance between eye and margin of opening. Cheek below with an unciform process directed anteriorly (generic feature, Fig. 54). Eye in lateral view 1.3-1.4 times as high as wide and distinctly twice as wide as temple. Face rugulose (2 ÇÇ) to subrugulose (3 ÇÇ), frons with fine and more or less dense punctation; vertex, occiput and temple polished with disperse and hardly distinct fine punctation. - Antenna with 27-34 antennomeres (27: 1 Ç, 30: 1 Ç, 34: 1 Ç, 2 ÇÇ with damaged antenna). Mesosoma in lateral view 1.3 times as long as high. Notaulix distinct and evenly deep. Propodeum polished and with a medio-longitudinal strong carina as well as a pair of less strong carinae restricted to posterior half of propodeum and reaching up to spiracle situated medially close to lateral margin of propodeum (Fig. 55). Hind femur 4-4.2 times as long as broad distally (Fig. 56).
