Remarks.

Bracon flaccus Papp, 1996 described from North Korea used to be considered a synonym of Syntomernus asphondyliae (Watanabe) ( Tobias and Belokobylskij 2000), but recently has been synonymised with S. sunosei (Maeto, 1991) ( Samartsev and Ku 2020). The key to the Eastern-Palaearctic species of Syntomernus is given in Samartsev and Ku (2020: 34).
