    Turkish Journal of Zoology, 2015
    Co-Authors: Ali Ameri, Ahmet Beyarslan, Ali Asghar Talebi, Ehsan Rakhshani, Karim Kamali
    Abstract:

    The present contribution is based on the genus Bracon Fabricius, 1804 collected from the southern part of Iran during 2010-2013. A total of 10 species belonging to 6 subgenera were collected and identified, of which 2 subgenera (OphthalmoBracon Tobias, 1957, and OsculoBracon) and 6 species are recorded for the first time from Iran. The newly recorded species from Iran are as follows: Bracon (GlabroBracon) ahngeri Telenga, 1936; Bracon (HabroBracon) didemie (Beyarslan, 2002); Bracon (OphthalmoBracon) ophthalmicus Telenga, 1933; Bracon (OsculoBracon) erzurumiensis Beyarslan, 2002; Bracon (OsculoBracon) osculator Nees 1811; and Bracon (GlabroBracon) obscurator Nees, 1811. Geographical distributions of all species and diagnostic characters of the newly recorded species from Iran are provided.

    Abstract:

    A survey on the genus Bracon Fabricius, 1804 was conducted in Hormozgan province, Southern Iran, during February 2011–July 2012. In all, 19 species belonging to seven subgenera were collected and identified, of which seven species and the subgenus AsiaBracon Tobias, 1957 are recorded for first time from Iran. Bracon ( OrthoBracon ) persiangulfensis Ameri, Beyarslan & Talebi sp. n. is newly described and illustrated from the Queshm island of Persian Gulf. Morphological characters of the new species were compared with the congeneric species. The newly recorded species from Iran were as follow: B. ( AsiaBracon ) quardrimaculatus Telenga, 1936; B. ( Bracon ) kozak Telenga, 1936; B. ( GlabroBracon ) immutator Nees; B. ( HabroBracon ) telengai (Mulyarskaya, 1955); B. ( HabroBracon ) variegator Spinola, 1808; B. ( OrthoBracon ) epitriptus Marshall, 1885 and B. ( OrthoBracon ) exhilarator Nees, 1834. A key is presented for identification of Bracon species collected in Hormozgan province as well as an updated checklist of all Bracon species occurring in Iran.

Thirteen new Bracon species were published from Turkey. With this present study Bracon (LucoBracon) achterbergi Beyarslan sp. n. is described and its diagnostic characters are illustrated. The distribution of Bracon species are discussed according to the Euxin, Subeuxin, Mediterranean, Xeroeuxin, Iran Steppe, Anatolia Steppe, Central Anatolia Steppe and Mesopotamian Steppe phytogeographical provinces of Turkey.

  • Braconinae parasitoids (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) emerged from larvae of Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) feeding on Daphne gnidium L.
    ZooKeys, 2016
    Co-Authors: Augusto Loni, Konstantin G. Samartsev, Pier Luigi Scaramozzino, Sergey A. Belokobylskij, Andrea Lucchi
    Abstract:

    Bracon admotus Papp, 2000, and three species of the genus HabroBracon Ashmead, 1895, HabroBracon concolorans (Marshall, 1900), HabroBracon hebetor (Say, 1836) and HabroBracon pillerianae Fischer, 1980, were obtained from the larvae of Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermuller, 1775) (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) feeding on Daphne gnidium Linnaeus, 1753 (Thymelaeaceae) in the natural reserve of Migliarino-San Rossore-Massaciuccoli (Pisa-Central Italy). Bracon admotus, HabroBracon concolorans and HabroBracon pillerianae were found for the first time to be associated with Lobesia botrana, while HabroBracon hebetor was reared for the first time from the larvae of Cryptoblabes gnidiella (Milliere, 1867) (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae, Phycitinae) that was found on the same host plant. Bracon admotus and HabroBracon pillerianae are new to the fauna of Italy and Western Europe. A key is proposed for the determination of HabroBracon species reared from Lobesia botrana and related Palaearctic species of this genus. HabroBracon lineatellae Fisher, 1968 is considered as a valid species.
