Ophion is a large and famous genus of ichneumonids, consisting of many testaceous species often caught with light traps. In a recent key the genus was revised in depth with molecular evidence, and although the work is not done yet (esp. for Central Continental Europe and Britain), many species have now received a more firm status (see JOHANSSON & CEDERBERG, 2019).
Ophion brocki is one of the newly described species. It is a big species with a large number of flagellomeres (59-64). Its propodeum usually has a clear and complete carination, with the anterior transverse carina centrally and laterally and the lateral longitudinal carina usually distinct. Its nervellus is broken distinctly below the middle ( JOHANSSON & CEDERBERG, 2019).
