Remarks.

Rostrobracon Tobias, 1957 is considered here a valid subgenus, because its synonymisation with Cyanopterobracon Tobias, 1957 was not justified ( Papp 2012). On the contrary, the latter subgenus differs by the less elongate eyes, about 1.5 × as long as wide in lateral view (in Rostrobracon , ca. 2 ×), the long malar space, ca. 0.5 × longitudinal diameter of eye in anterior view (ca. 0.25 ×), the elongate, 1.3-1.6 × as long as high, mesosoma (robust, 1.1-1.2 × as long as high) with evenly convex median lobe of mesoscutum (the median lobe dorsally flattened in anterior part), the deep second metasomal suture (mostly shallow in Rostrobracon ), and the shorter ovipositor sheath, ca. as long as hind tibia (ca. 2 × as long as hind tibia in Rostrobracon ).
