R e m a r k: The forms B. breviventris View in CoL and B. collinus View in CoL are representing variety of B. variator var. maculiger (WESMAEL) View in CoL . It seems remarkable to point out that the species B. variator View in CoL is highly variable considering its colour pattern, length of ovipositor apparatus and a few corporal measurements (on head, alar venation, tergites). The describer E. V. NEES (l.c.) himself has perceived this extreme variability denominating the many colour forms with Latin and Greek letters. - Besides SZÉPLIGETI’ s two species there have been

described further species too which proved identical with B. variator (B. bipartitus WESMAEL, B. cieslikii NIEZABITOWSKI , B. collaris TELENGA , B. guttator PANZER , B. kotulai NIEZABITOWSKI, B. maculiger Wesmael, B. minutator SPINOLA , B. ornatulus TELENGA , B. rimulator NIEZABITOWSKI ). The redescription, taxonomic position etc. of B. variator is planned to be presented in a revision of WESMAEL’ s Bracon species as the first reviser of B. variator ).
