Distribution: Turkey and Iran ( Ameri et al., 2015).

Description. Body length 2.5–2.7 mm, forewing length 2.4–2.6 mm. Width of head in dorsal view 1.9–2.0 times its median length. Transverse diameter of eye (dorsal view) 1.4–2.0 times longer than temple. Face width 1.4–1.5 times its height with clypeus. Longitudinal diameter of eye 3.2–3.6 times longer than malar space (front view). Hypoclypeal depression 1.2–1.5 times as wide as distance from depression to eye. Antennae 26–28-segmented. Mesosoma 1.5–1.6 times longer than maximum height. Notauli distinct and shallow. Vein r of forewing arising slightly behind middle of pterostigma. Vein 1-R1 1.5–1.7 times longer than pterostigma, 3.5–3.8 times longer than distance from apex of marginal cell to apex of wing. Vein 3-SR 1.9–2.2 times longer than vein r, 0.60–0.65 times as long as vein SR1, 1.2–1.4 times longer than vein 2-SR. Hind femur 3.5–4.2 times longer than wide. Median length of first metasomal tergite, measured from petiolar process, 1.2–1.3 times as large as its apical width. Second metasomal tergite 2.2–2.3 times as wide basally as its length, 0.8–0.9 times as long as third metasomal tergite. Second metasomal suture deep and smooth. Ovipositor sheath 0.9–1.2 times as long as hind tibia and 0.25–0.30 times as long as forewing. Body smooth; second metasomal tergite usually with very weak shagreen sculpture. Head reddish-yellow to black. Mesosoma completely black or middle part of mesoscutum and scutellum reddish-yellow. Metasoma completely black or lateral margins and desclerotized parts of metasomal tergites second to sixth yellowish-red. Wings weakly darkened, pterostigma and veins brownish.

Remark. In B. erzurumiensis , the variability of coloration is revealed. Dark-colored specimens of this species are hardly distinguishable from members of B. cingulator Szépligeti, 1901 and B. osculator Nees, 1811 . Representatives of the two latter species differ by their shorter ovipositor (its sheath 0.6–0.7 times as long as hind tibia) and by completely smooth metasomal tergites.

Remarks. The resurrection of Bracon minutus from synonyms of Bracon osculator and the established synonymy with B. chagrinicus are based on examination of the types of the three taxa [the holotype of B. chagrinicus Beyarslan : ♀, “TR-Uşak-Banaz, 27.7.1997, A. Beyarslan”, “ Bracon ♀ chagrinicus n. sp., dt. Beyarslan 2.5.99”, “ Bracon ♀ chagrinicus n. sp., dt. Beyarslan 2.V.1999 ”, “ Holotype ” (Trakya University, Turkey); the lectotype of B. minutus Szépligeti : ♀, “Budapest, Svábhegy”, “[1]899. VIII.4, Szépligeti”, “ Lectotypus Bracon ♀ minutus sp. n. Szépl. 1901, des Papp J 1968”, “Hym. Typ. No. 1317 Museum Budapest”, “ Bracon ♀ osculator Nees det Papp, J. 1968” (HNHM); the neotype of B. osculator Nees : ♀, “Coll Wesmael”, “2080”, “Type”, “ Braco disignatus mihi ♀, dét. C. Wesmael”, “ Lectotypus ♀ Braco bisignatus Wesm. 1838 sp. n., des. Papp. J. 1982”, “ Neotypus ♀ Bracon osculator Nees, 1811 , des. Papp. J. 1982, ant. 27-art.”, “R. Mus. Hist. Nat. Belg. I. G. 3.317” (IRSNB)].

Diagnosis. Bracon minutus differs from B. osculator in the following characters:

1. Longitudinal diameter of eye 1.9–2.2 times longer than malar space (front view; Figure 7b ). Marginal cell of forewing more shortened, vein 1-R1 2.3–3.5 times longer than distance from apex of marginal cell to apex of wing ( Figure 7c ). Metasomal tergites second to sixth weakly shagreened ( Figure 7e ). 1.9–2.8 mm … Bracon minutus Szépligeti, 1901

– Longitudinal diameter of eye 2.4–3.0 times longer than malar space (front view). Marginal cell of forewing less shortened, vein 1-R1 4–7 times longer than distance from apex of marginal cell to apex of wing. Metasomal tergites second to sixth smooth. 1.5–3.5 mm … Bracon osculator Nees, 1811

Diagnosis. Bracon parvicornis is closely related to B. karakumicus Tobias, 1967 ( Figures 10a–10c ) and B. popovi Telenga, 1936 ( Figures 10d–10f ).
