Four new species of the subfamily Braconinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from Vietnam

Abstract

This paper contains descriptions and illustrations of four new species of braconine wasps from two genera Megalommum Szépligeti, 1900 and Nedinoschiza Cameron, 1911 from Vietnam, viz. Megalommum hoabinhense Long, sp. nov., M. simulatum Long, sp. nov., M. sonlaense Long, sp. nov. and Nedinoschiza khuathalinhae Long, sp. nov. Additionally, the genus Megalommum is the first record for Vietnam.

Two new genera and one new species of the tribe Adeshini (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Braconinae) from India and South Africa

“…We have seen numerous other specimens of Spinadesha from Thailand and Borneo all of which are morphologically very similar. Oanh et al (2023) provided a key to the five species described to date based largely on coloration and slight differences in the profiles of the denticulations on the posterior margin of the 5 th metasomal tergite.…”

“…Including those described in this paper, the Adeshini includes 16 described species classified within nine genera ( van Achterberg 1983 ; Quicke 1986 , 1988 ; Quicke and Ingram 1993 ; Quicke and Polaszek 2000 ; Wang et al 2006 ; Liu et al 2007 ; Ranjith et al 2017 ; Oanh et al 2023 ). The known species are entirely from the Old World, being distributed from Africa, through tropical Asia to Australia ( Yu et al 2016 ).…”
