ANNALES HISTORICO-NATURALES MUSEI NATIONALIS HUNGARICI Volume 88. Budapest, 19% pp. 145-170. Braconidae (Hymenoptera) from Korea, XVIII. * J. PAPP Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum H-1088 Budapest, Baross u. 13, Hungary PAPP, J. (1996): Braconidae (Hymenoptera) from Korea, XVIII. - Annls hist.-nat. Mus. natn. hung. 88: 145-170. Abstract - Forty-six braconid species of the subfamilies Alysiinae (3 species) and Braconinae (43 species) are reported from Korea, the species belong to nine genera. New taxa are described in two subfamilies: Alysiinae: Synaldis cabinica asiatica ssp. n., Synaldis nodosa sp. n.; Braconinae: Uncobracon gen. n., Punctobracon subgen. n. (of the genus Bracon FABRICIUS), Bracon (Glabrobracon) bellicolor sp. n., Bracon (Punctobracon) corroboratus sp. n., Bracon (Foveobracon) flaccus sp. n., Bracon (Bracon) gilvus sp. n. and Bracon (Bracon) merseli sp. n. A checklist and a key were compiled for the Korean species of the genus Synaldis. Twenty-four braconinc species proved to be new to the fauna of Korea. With 59 original figures. Forty-six braconid species belonging to the subfamilies Alysiinae and Braconinae are reported from the northern half of the Korean Peninsula (i.e. Democratic People's Republic of Korea). The braconid wasps have been collected by the staff-members of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, during their collecting trips to North Korea in the years 1970-1992. Further details concerning the participants etc. are presented in my previous paper (PAPP 1990a). The braconid material of the present account is deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Specimens in the property of the Polish Zoological Institute in Warszawa are indicated in the species list as (in Warszawa) after the specimen numbers of the respective species. The 46 braconid species represent nine genera, subsequently they are enumerated with the indication of the numbers of the species in brackets belonging to: Alysiinae: Synaldis FOERSTER (3 species); Braconinae: Atanycolus FOERSTER (1 species), Bracon FABRICIUS (32 species), Cyanopterus HALIDAY (3 species), Habrobracon ASHMEAD (2 species), lphiaulax FOERSTER (2 species), Pseudoshirakia VAN ACHTERBERG (1 species), Uncobracon gen. n. (I species) and Vipio LATREILLE (1 species). From among the taxa here treated one genus, one subgenus, six species and one subspecies are new to the science, their specification is given in the abstract. For each species the localities are given in an abbreviated form, i.e. with the locality numbers presented in the original itinerary of the collecting trips. In the previous five papers of my series (PAPP 1989, 1990a, 1990b, 1992, 1994) on the braconids of Korea I have published a long list of the locality numbers completed with the detailed collecting * Zoological Collectings by the Hungarian Natural History Museum in Korea, No. 133.

Beron & Popov. 1 Ç (in Warszawa): Mts Keumkang, 28 August 1959, leg. Pisarski. The subgenus Sculptobracon monotypic species Bracon burjaticus to represent this subgenus within the genus of Bracon was described by TOBIAS in 1961 on the basis of the TOBIAS. In checking the species B. yakui it proved FABRICIUS. A comparative examination of the type-series of B. yakui and authentic specimen (1 Ç: det. TOBIAS) of B. burjaticus led me to the recognition that B. burjaticus is a junior synonym ot'b. yakui sen. syn. Having examined the type-series of B. yakui significant deviations were observed between the Japanese type forms and the Korean forms, these are as follows: Japanese forms: Body 4-4.5 mm long, antenna with 28 antennomeres, ground colour of body black with little reddish testaceous pattern, legs blackish or brownish with yellow pattern on fore and middle femora-tibiae. Korean forms: Body 3-3.5 mm long, antenna with 23-24 antennomeres (23: 2 ÇÇ, 24: 5 ÇÇ), ground colour of body black with variable reddish yellow pattern, legs reddish yellow to yellow. Since its description the species is known only from the type localities in Japan (B. yakui) and in Russia: Baykal Region (B. burjaticus). New to the fauna of Korea.

Uncobracon gen. n. (Figs 54-59) Type species - Bracon apoderi WATANABE, 1933: monotypic and orginal designation. Etymology - The generic name Uncobracon is a combination of the Latin name "unco" (= uncus, hook) and the taxon name Bracon, gender masculine. Description - In several respects the new genus is similar and related to the genus Bracon FABRICIUS, 1804, the distinctive features of the new genus are as follows: Cheek below with a hook-like process directed anteriorly (Fig. 54). Propodeum with a medio-longitudinal carina (Fig. 55). Second tergite subfoveolate-rugose, tergites 3-6 with discrete and separate (i.e. not confluent) punctures, interspaces polished (Fig. 58).

Considering the modern requirements it seems expedient to complete W A T A N A B E's original description regarding the specimens (i.e. four females) of the same species taken in Korea.
