T y p e d e s i g n a t i o n: Designation of the female lectotype of Bracon curticaudis View in CoL : (first label, my handscript) " Budapest / Farkasvölgy / V 27, leg. MOCSÁRY" (reverse is the original label with abbreviated collecting data and with MOCSÁRY’ s handscript; second label is the lectotype card; third label is with the inventory number "1396". - Lectotype is in good condition: (1) glued on pointed card by the left mesopleuron (partly) + metapleuron; (2) left flagellum missing; (3) ovipositor sheaths somewhat glueish.
M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d (16 + 2): Hungary: 5 + 2 from five localties. Scotland: 1. Sweden: 1. Finland: 1. Germany: 1. Bulgaria: 3 from three localities. Turkey: 4 from three localities.
R e d e s c r i p t i o n of the female lectotype of Bracon curticaudis: Body 3.8 mm long. Antenna somewhat shorter than body and with 29 antennomeres. First flagellomere nearly 1.4 times and penultimate flagellomere 1.7 times as long as broad, flgellum faintly attenuating ( Fig. 88 View Figs 88-98 ). - Head in dorsal view ( Fig. 89 View Figs 88-98 ) transverse, 1.8 times as broad as long, eye 1.35 times as long as temple, temple rounded, occiput excavated. Eye in lateral view 1.4 times as high as wide and 1.3 times (or one-fourth) wider than temple ( Fig. 90 View Figs 88-98 , see arrows). Horizontal diameter of oral opening 1.5 times as long as shortest distance between opening and compound eye ( Fig. 91 View Figs 88-98 ). Head polished, face laterally subgranulose.
Mesosoma in lateral view 1.4 times as long as high, polished. Notaulix distinct, shallow. Propodeum polished, close around lunule with a short carina issuing a few short rugulae ( Fig. 92 View Figs 88-98 ). - Hind femur 3.3 times as long as broad medially and less parallel longitudinally ( Fig. 93 View Figs 88-98 ). Claw downcurved, its basal lobe fairly large and pointed ( Fig. 94 View Figs 88-98 ).
Fore wing as long as body. Pterostigma ( Fig. 95 View Figs 88-98 ) fairly wide, 2.35 times as long as wide and issuing r just distally from its middle, r 0.6 times as long as width of pterostigma; 3- SR 1.3 times as long as 2-SR, SR1 straight, nearly 1.8 times longer than 3-SR and approaching tip of wing; 1-R1 1.5 times as long as pterostigma. First discal cell less high, 1-M nearly 1.7 times longer than m-cu, 1-SR-M just bent and also nearly 1.7 times as long as 1-M ( Fig. 96 View Figs 88-98 ).
First tergite ( Fig. 97 View Figs 88-98 ) broad, somewhat broader behind than long, beyond pair of spiracles weakly broadening, tergite laterally from scutum with crenulae, scutum polished and posteriorly with weak striolate elements. Second tergite 3.2 times as broad behind as long laterally, antero-medially rugulose ( Fig. 97 View Figs 88-98 ). Suture between tergites 2-3 bisinuate, fairly deep, smooth. Third tergite a bit longer than second tergite. Hypopygium pointed, ovipositor sheath short and as long as tarsomeres 1-2 combined ( Fig. 98 View Figs 88-98 ).
Ground colour of body black. Antenna black, flagellum with faint brownish tint. Orbit partly rusty. Oral organs brownish. Tegula blackish, parategula brown. Metasoma reddish yellow, first tergite entirely and tergites 5-6 almost entirely black, tergites 2-4 medially weakly blackish. Legs black, femora apically and hind tibia basally rusty. Wings brownish subfumous, pterostigma brown, veins light brown.
Variable features of the females (17). Similar to the female lectotype. Body (3-) 3.5-4 mm long. Antenna with 27-31 antennomeres. Temple in dorsal view a bit more rounded ( Fig. 99 View Figs 99-107 , 3 View Figs 1-14 ). Hind femur 3.1-3.3 times as long as broad medially, less usually not subparallel longitudinally ( Fig. 100 View Figs 99-107 ). Pterostigma 2.35-2.6 times as long as wide. First tergite as long as broad behind, beyond pair of spiracles just broadening ( Fig. 101 View Figs 99-107 , 4 View Figs 1-14 ).
D e s c r i p t i o n of the male (2): Similar to the female. Body 3.4 mm long. Antenna about as long as body and with 33 antennomeres. 1-R1 rather reaching tip of wing ( Fig. 102 View Figs 99-107 ). First tergite just broader behind than long, beyond pair of spiracles clearly broadening ( Fig. 103 View Figs 99-107 ). Corporal colouration similar to that of the female.
H o s t: unknown.
D i s t r i b u t i o n: Scotland, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey.
R e m a r k s: Within the subgenus Glabrobracon the species Bracon curticaudis is nearest to B. terebella WESMAEL , the two species are distinguished by the following features keyed:
1 (2) First tergite somewhat broader behind than long, beyond pair of spiracles broadening-sided, second tergite antero-medially uneven-rugulose ( Fig. 97 View Figs 88-98 ). Suture between tergites 2-3 distinct, bisinuate, deep ( Fig. 97 View Figs 88-98 ). Head in dorsal view slightly more transverse, 1.8 times as broad as long ( Fig. 89 View Figs 88-98 ). Claw as in Fig. 94 View Figs 88-98 . SR1 of fore wing approaching tip of wing ( Fig. 95 View Figs 88-98 ). Tergites medially dark coloured.: (3-) 3.5-4.5 mm,: 3.4 mm. – Europe .................. B. (Gl.) curticaudis SZÉPLIGETI 1901 2 (1) First tergite somewhat longer than broad behind, beyond pair of spiracles parallelsided, second tergite polished ( Fig. 104 View Figs 99-107 ). Suture between tergites 2-3 less distinct, weakly bisinuate to almost straight, less deep ( Fig. 104 View Figs 99-107 ). Head in dorsal view slightly less transverse, 1.7 times as broad as long ( Fig. 105 View Figs 99-107 ). Claw as in Fig. 106 View Figs 99-107 .
SR1 of fore wing reaching tip of wing ( Fig. 107 View Figs 99-107 ). Tergites usually widely dark coloured.: (2-) 3-4.5 mm. - Palaearctic Region ..... B. (Gl.) terebella WESMAEL 1838
Bracon curticaudis is also near to B. abbreviator NEES considering their short ovipositor sheath, the distinction between the two species is presented at the latter species.
