Uncobracon Papp, 1996: 168; Tobias and Belokobylskij 2000: 119; Tan et al. 2012: 64; Samartsev 2018: 249. Type species: Bracon apoderi Watanabe, 1933 (monobasic and orginal designation).

Diagnosis.

Antenna usually as long as body, flagellomeres longer than wide; in lateral view, cheek below with a hook-like process directed anteriorly; temples often distinctly narrowed behind eyes; notauli often deeply impressed; propodeum with a medio-longitudinal carina or rugose medially and with a medio-longitudinal groove; second submarginal cell of fore wing medium-sized; hind wing vein 2-SC+R1 relatively long, longitudinal; second metasomal tergite with subfoveolate or reticulate or striated sculpture; third tergite with fine antero-lateral grooves; third to sixth tergites discrete and separate (not confluent) punctures and interspaces polished or with striae; ovipositor sheath often shorter than body.

Biology.

Only known from one species, Bracon (Uncobracon) apoderi Watanabe, 1933 which is an ectoparasitoid of larvae of Apoderus balteatus (Roelofs, 1874) ( Coleoptera: Attelabidae ) ( Watanabe 1933).

Distribution.

Oriental; Palaearctic.
