R e m a r k: The three taxa by SZÉPLIGETI in question are objective junior synonyms of
B. luteator
. This identity was indicated by SZÉPLIGETI himself relegating them as varieties of
B. minutator
(FABRICIUS)
(which species was misinterpreted for a long time and clarified its true taxonomic position in the present paper by a reliable distinction from
B. luteator
). The redescription and taxonomic position of
B. luteator
will be discussed in a revision of the European species of the genus
Bracon
.
