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

laterally sometimes finely granulate - Propodeum polished. Hind femur 3.3-3.6 times as long as broad medially. - Pterostigma (Fig. 83) 2.3-2.5(-2.6) times as long as wide and issuing r proximally from its middle or, exceptionally, just from its middle. Second submarginal cell moderately long, 3-SR 1.2-1.35 times as long as 2-SR, 4-SR 1.8-2(-2.3) times as long as 3-SR and reaching tip of wing. - First tergite (Fig. 85) 1.3-1.4(-l .5) times as long as broad behind, beyond pair of spiracles posteriorly somewhat with converging sides, rim laterally from scutum narrow. Tergites 2-3 either equal in length or third tergite slightly longer, second tergite 3.1-3.3 times as broad behind as long; suture between them either just straight or weakly bisinuate (Fig. 85), distinct and smooth. Tergites polished, exceptionally second tergite more or less (and rather anteriorly) rugose to rugulose (Fig. 86). Ovipositor sheath as long as body or, less usually, somewhat shorter or longer. - Body black, sometimes with more or less brownish tint. Legs also black, at most hind tibia basally yellow, rarely fore femur apically and fore tibia basally yellow(ish). Wings subhyaline to fumous, pterostigma and veins brown (to brownish). Specific features of the males (17 $) - Similar to the female. Body 3-3.2 mm long. Antenna almost as long as body and with 26-29 antennomeres. Penultimate flagellomere twice as long as broad. Temple somewhat receded (Fig. 84). Tibiae with more yellow(ish) pattern basally. Hosts - Orellia ruficauda FABRICIUS, Sitarea lurida (LOEW), S. scorzonerae ROBINEAU-DESVOIDY, Tephritis bardanae SCHRANK, T. puklira LOEW (Dipt. Tephritidae). Gastrophysa polygoni LINNAEUS, G. viridula DEGEER (Col. Chrysomelidae). - Remark: T. bardanae is the only authenticated host, the rest of the host species is in need of confirmation. Distribution - Frequent in the Palaearctic Region. Figs 85-92. Bracon (Glabrobracon) parvulus WESMAEL: 85 = tergites 1-3, 86 = second tergite.
