5B243547FFDEFFC11AB08CD7F3A6F875.taxon	discussion	Rhaconotus signipennis species group can be recognized by combination of the following features: metasoma with six visible tergites in normal condition (Figs 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12 F); second metasomal tergite with basal separated transverse area (Figs 2 H, 4 E, 6 G, 8 H, 10 G, 12 F), and this is the only species-group that keys out separately here; propodeum with basal carina, rarely with areola, usually with baso-lateral areas (Figs 2 G, 4 F, 6 F, 8 F, 10 F, 12 C); occipital carina not fused ventrally with hypostomal carina being obliterated shortly upper base of mandible (Figs 2 E), or obliquely or curvy fused with hypostomal carina below upper base of mandible (Figs 8 B, 10 C, 12 B). This character was recognized in all members of the signipennis species group from Vietnam and is considered as one of meaningful features used in the key and for describing new species.	en	Oanh, Nguyen Thi, Dzuong, Nguyen Van, Long, Khuat Dang, Pham, Nhi Thi (2026): The signipennis-group and testaceiceps-group of Rhaconotus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Doryctinae) in Vietnam, with descriptions of new species.
