Belokobylskij, Sergey A. & Kula, Robert R., 2012, Review of the brachypterous, micropterous, and apterous Braconidae of the cyclostome lineage (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea) from the Palearctic Region 3240, Zootaxa 3240 (1), pp. 1-62 : 6

Genus Achaiabracon Belokobylskij

( Figs 108–109 )

This genus, known from females and males of a single apterous species, was described recently from the Greek Islands ( Belokobylskij 2009a). It was separated from other genera in Achaiabraconini on the basis of the following combination of features: eyes long and sparsely setiferous, antennal sockets positioned close to each other, narrow postgenal bridge developed, antennae subclavate, mesosoma with fine postpectal carina, tarsal claws with small basal tooth, fore and mesotibiae with distinct and numerous spines, first metasomal tergum without dorsope, second and third metasomal terga entirely with long and sparse setae, and fourth through sixth terga with two rows of setae.
