03F0360FFFFED26CFF215C1F5E0B3BCD.taxon	discussion	Remarks on the diagnosis of the genus. The previous review of the genus with its redescription (Samartsev 2023) was based on the study of types of only a part of included species and lacked sufficient information on the type species. The material collected in Vietnam allows to specify the following characters in the diagnosis of this genus: the clypeus with not protruding or more or less protruding ventral rim; the vertex without the mid-longitudinal sulcus, but weakly longitudinally impressed in the specimens of S. hispae and S. sumodani from Vietnam; the notauli are deep or shallow anteriorly; the mesoscutum is evenly setose or entirely setose with longer setae on notaulic area, or widely smooth medially; T 1 is usually with the complete dorsal carinae, but with no carinae in S. storozhenkoi sp. nov.; the median area of T 2 variable, absent or developed (in latter case narrow, elongate-triangular, strongly elongated and extending into longitudinal carina or wider, parallel-sided); in some species, the metasoma with granulate sculpture.

03F0360FFFFED26EFF215A8E5D783B5A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The study of the Vietnamese specimen allows us to question the earlier conclusion from Samartsev (2023: 387) that the material for the redescription of S. hispae in the paper by Quicke & Walker (1989) was incorrectly identified. This conclusion was based on differences in descriptions, which appear to be merely different interpretations of the same character states, as well as on misinterpretations of the characters in the illustrations from the earlier work.	en	Samartsev, Konstantin G., Duong, Tran Dinh, Long, Khuat Dang (2025): The genus Scutibracon Quicke & Walker (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in Vietnam, with new records and descriptions of two new species.
