Papp, J., 2008, A revision of the Bracon (subgenera Bracon s. str., Cyanopterobracon, Glabrobracon, Lucobracon, Osculobracon subgen. n., Pigeria) species described by SZÉPLIGETI from the western Palaearctic Region (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Braconinae), Linzer biologische Beiträge 40 (1), pp. 1741-1837 : 1787-1788

Bracon (Lucobracon) larvicida WESMAEL

Bracon larvicida WESMAEL 1838: 41 , type locality: "environs de Bruxelles " ( Belgium), female lectotype (and three female paralectotypes) in Institut royal des Sciences naturelles de Bel- gique, Bruxelles; examined. - SHENEFELT 1978: 1636 (literature up to 1974). TOBIAS 1986: 136 (in key).

Bracon crassiusculus SZÉPLIGETI 1901a: 265 (in key), 279 (description) (in Hungarian), 1904 (1901): 177, 178 (in key), 182 (description) (in German), type locality: "Pápa" ( Hungary), female lectotype in Magyar Természattudományi Múzeum, Budapest; examined. - SHENEFELT 1978: 1619 (as synonym of B. grandiceps THOMSON after PAPP 1969: 325, literature up to 1974). TOBIAS 1986: not mentioned. PAPP 2004: 173 (type designation and depository, as synonym of B. larvicida ).

R e m a r k: The junior synonymy of B. crassiusculus with the valid species (sen. syn.) of B. larvicida is based on the examination and comparison of the types of the two taxa in question. This synonymization was omitted in my previous paper ( PAPP 2005) hence this complementation is an addition to it. The redescription and taxonomic placement of B. larvicida will be presented in a paper of WESMAEL’ s Bracon species.
