Abstract

In the paper some taxonomic corrections and numerous new records of Braconidae species in the fauna of Russia or its regions are provided. The new synonyms are suggested: Rhoptrocentrus piceus Marshall, 1897 = Rhoptrocentrus quercusi Yang et Cao in Cao et al., 2015, syn. nov.; Pareucorystes varinervis Tobias, 1961 = Leluthia chinensis Li et Achterberg in Li et al., 2015, syn. nov.; Heterospilus cephi Rohwer, 1925 = Heterospilus magnastigmata Beyarslan, 2019, syn. nov. The new names for junior homonyms are given: Dinotrema (Dinotrema) marshakovi Belokobylskij, nom. nov. for Dinotrema (Dinotrema) concinnum Tobias, 2007, nec D. (D.) concinnum (Haliday, 1838); Ascogaster vitobiasi Belokobylskij, nom. nov. for Ascogaster breviventris Tobias, 2000, nec A. breviventris Granger, 1949. The generic status of Rhaconotinus Hedqvist, 1965 (status resurr.) and species status of Avga singularis Belokobylskij, 1986 (status resurr.) were restored. A new generic combinations are suggested: Microctonus haeselbarthi (Belokobylskij, 2000), comb. nov. instead original Perilitus (Townesilitus) generic position; Microctonus strophosomi (Haeselbarth, 2008), comb. nov. instead original Perilitus generic position; Ipodoryctes formosanus (Watanabe, 1934), comb. nov. instead original Rhaconotus generic position; Ipodoryctes signipennis (Walker, 1860), comb. nov. instead original Spathius generic position; Ipodoryctes vagrans (Bridwell, 1920), comb. nov. instead original Hormiopterus generic position; Rhaconotinus iterabilis (Belokobylskij et Chen, 2004), comb. nov. instead original Rhaconotus generic position; Rhaconotinus nadezhdae (Tobias et Belokobylskij, 1981), comb. nov. instead original Ipodoryctes generic position.
