9F7587EEFF3E681D94742AEFFC91D5D9.taxon	discussion	Remarks The holotype of P. bellula from North Korea (Gang-von) was examined by using the original description, a photo of the holotype and additional Chinese specimens examined. There are thirty-eight females agreeing with the description of P. bellula except for the propodeum colouration (some females totally orange-brown vs only posteriorly orange-brown for the types). The holotype of P. rugifrontata from China was not available and the interpretation is based on the original description. Phanerotomella rugifrontata is treated as a junior synonym of P. bellula Papp, 1989 based on the following key characters: (1) vein m-cu postfurcal; (2) second submarginal cell sessile (the latter’s vein 2 - SR weakly developed); (3) antenna rather slender, with 57 segments and all antennal segments longer than wide; (4) length of eye in dorsal view equal to that of temple; (5) frons transversely rugulose, temple densely punctate, mesopleuron punctate (the latter’s punctate-reticulate) and mesoscutum honeycomb sculptured except medio-posteriorly rugose; (6) metasomal carapace elliptical, 1.6 × as long as maximum width; (7) vein 1 - R 1 longer than pterostigma.	en	He, Jia-Yue, Achterberg, Cornelis Van, He, Jun-Hua, Tang, Pu, Chen, Xue-Xin (2025): The genus Phanerotomella Szépligeti (Insecta, Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Cheloninae) from China, with descriptions of sixteen new species.

9F7587EEFF33682994022A26FB69D095.taxon	discussion	Remarks Phanerotomella brevifemorata sp. nov. is similar to P. gladia Chen & Ji, 2003 in having a similar colouration of the body. However, P. brevifemorata can be easily distinguished from P. gladia by having vein m-cu antefurcal (postfurcal in the latter), the second submarginal cell strongly petiolate (sessile in the latter), the temple in dorsal view narrowing behind the eye (widening in the latter), the hind femur at most 3.3 × as long as wide (3.9 × in the latter), the basal half of the flagellum yellow and the apical half brown (entirely brown in the latter). Phanerotomella brevifemorata sp. nov. is similar to P. longa Chen & Ji, 2003 because of the flagellum being basally yellowish and apically brown, the second submarginal cell distinctly petiolate, and the lateral border of the metasoma curved in dorsal view. However, P. brevifemorata sp. nov. can be distinguished from P. longa by having vein m-cu antefurcal (postfurcal in the latter), the temple in dorsal view narrowing behind the eye (widening in the latter), and the mesopleuron with a smooth area posteriorly (without a smooth area in the latter).

9F7587EEFF0F682F940D2C56FB41D772.taxon	discussion	Remarks The female holotype of P. collinsi from East Malaysia (Borneo, Sarawak) was not examined and our interpretation is based on the original description. There are 27 females agreeing with the description of the holotype of P. collinsi except for body length (2.6 – 3.5 mm vs 3.1 – 3.5 mm for the types), antenna number (44 – 49 vs 40 – 43 for the types), metasomal carapace length – width ratio (1.7 – 1.8 vs 1.9 for the types), temple – eye ratio in dorsal view (0.8 vs 0.5 for the types). There are four males agreeing with the description of P. collinsi. The female holotypes of P. longieyes and P. picticornis from China were not available and their interpretation is based on the original descriptions and additional Chinese specimens listed above. Phanerotomella longieyes and P. picticornis are treated as junior synonyms of P. collinsi based on the following key characters: (1) vein m-cu postfurcal; (2) second submarginal cell sessile; (3) eye in dorsal view distinctly protruding; (4) antenna slender and with 40 – 45 segments; (5) mesopleuron densely and finely honeycomb-sculptured but with smooth area posteriorly; (6) mandible slender.	en	He, Jia-Yue, Achterberg, Cornelis Van, He, Jun-Hua, Tang, Pu, Chen, Xue-Xin (2025): The genus Phanerotomella Szépligeti (Insecta, Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Cheloninae) from China, with descriptions of sixteen new species.

9F7587EEFF02683994772CF3FABFD7D5.taxon	discussion	Remarks Phanerotomella exilicornis sp. nov. is similar to P. albiscapa (Ashmead, 1905) because of the slender antenna of the female, all flagellum segments are longer than wide and the subapical segments non-moniliform, the posterior ocelli are large and round, and the temple in dorsal view narrows posteriorly. However, P. exilicornis can easily be distinguished from P. albiscapa by the scapus and pedicellus in lateral view being ivory and distinctly contrasting with the dark brown flagellum (antenna brown in the latter), the mesopleuron without a smooth and shiny area posteriorly (with a smooth area in the latter), the lamella of the third metasomal tergite not protruding medio-apically (protruding medio-apically in the latter), and the temple distinctly rugulose and matt (superficially rugulose and shiny in the latter).	en	He, Jia-Yue, Achterberg, Cornelis Van, He, Jun-Hua, Tang, Pu, Chen, Xue-Xin (2025): The genus Phanerotomella Szépligeti (Insecta, Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Cheloninae) from China, with descriptions of sixteen new species.

9F7587EEFF1B6832946B2B54FCC7D728.taxon	discussion	Remarks Phanerotomella fulgida sp. nov. is similar to P. bicolorata He & Chen, 1995 because the head in dorsal view is rather transverse, the temple in dorsal view parallel-sided behind the eye, the antenna slender, and the scapus and pedicellus yellow, contrasting with the brown flagellum. However, P. fulgida can be distinguished from P. bicolorata by having the basal carina of the first metasomal tergite weakly developed (distinctly developed in the latter), the first metasomal tergite finely reticulate (distinctly longitudinally striate in the latter), the apex of the metasoma flatter (less flat in the latter), the temple smooth and with a satin sheen (distinctly finely punctate and shiny in the latter), and the mesopleuron irregularly reticulate (mesopleuron coarsely rugose).	en	He, Jia-Yue, Achterberg, Cornelis Van, He, Jun-Hua, Tang, Pu, Chen, Xue-Xin (2025): The genus Phanerotomella Szépligeti (Insecta, Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Cheloninae) from China, with descriptions of sixteen new species.

9F7587EEFF67684694752D92FB66D4D2.taxon	discussion	Remarks Phanerotomella nigrisoma sp. nov. is similar to P. taiwanensis because it has the antenna with a white basal band of the flagellum, the eye in dorsal view 0.9 - 1.0 × as long as the temple, and the antenna with non-moniliform subapical segments. However, P. nigrisoma can be distinguished from P. taiwanensis by having the antenna widened medially (slender in the latter), the body length about 3.0 mm (4.0 mm in the latter), the face and temple rugulose and matt (punctate and shiny in the latter), the mesopleuron reticulate and with a smooth, shiny area posteriorly (punctate and without a smooth area in the latter), the hind femur yellowish brown and the hind tibia dark brown (black in the latter).	en	He, Jia-Yue, Achterberg, Cornelis Van, He, Jun-Hua, Tang, Pu, Chen, Xue-Xin (2025): The genus Phanerotomella Szépligeti (Insecta, Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Cheloninae) from China, with descriptions of sixteen new species.

There are thirty-two females, which largely agree with the description of P. pallidistigma except for the colouration (lightened to yellow or darkened to black). However, the Xizang population shows a distinct and stable variation, such as a black body, a distinctly narrowed temple and a strongly curved border of the metasomal carapace; it might represent a new species.	en	He, Jia-Yue, Achterberg, Cornelis Van, He, Jun-Hua, Tang, Pu, Chen, Xue-Xin (2025): The genus Phanerotomella Szépligeti (Insecta, Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Cheloninae) from China, with descriptions of sixteen new species.

9F7587EEFF7F68589417293DFC8FD5DE.taxon	discussion	Remarks The holotype of P. pulchra from China (Jiangsu; ♂) and P. variareolata from Russia (♀) were examined by Zettel (1989) and the interpretation here is based on his redescription and the original descriptions. The differences between both types are considered to be intraspecific. Phanerotomella variareolata is treated as a junior synonym of P. pulchra based on the following key characters: (1) face width 0.95 × height of face and clypeus together; (2) metasoma 0.92 - 0.93 × as long as mesosoma; (3) eye in dorsal view 0.9 × as long as temple; (4) malar space 0.42 - 0.43 × as long as eye; (5) metasomal carapace 1.85 × as long as maximum width.	en	He, Jia-Yue, Achterberg, Cornelis Van, He, Jun-Hua, Tang, Pu, Chen, Xue-Xin (2025): The genus Phanerotomella Szépligeti (Insecta, Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Cheloninae) from China, with descriptions of sixteen new species.

9F7587EEFF746857947D2B7CFC4FD481.taxon	discussion	Remarks Phanerotomella rugulosa sp. nov. is similar to P. brevifemorata sp. nov. because of the brown flagellum except basally yellowish, and the temple in dorsal view narrowing behind the eye. However, P. rugulosa can easily be distinguished from P. brevifemorata by having vein m-cu postfurcal (antefurcal in the latter), the second submarginal cell sessile (distinctly petiolate in the latter), and the lateral border of the metasoma in dorsal view less curved (more curved in the latter).	en	He, Jia-Yue, Achterberg, Cornelis Van, He, Jun-Hua, Tang, Pu, Chen, Xue-Xin (2025): The genus Phanerotomella Szépligeti (Insecta, Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Cheloninae) from China, with descriptions of sixteen new species.

The holotype of P. longipedes was not available for study, but the mentioned differences are considered to be intraspecific variation. Phanerotomella longipedes is treated as a junior synonym of P. taiwanensis based on the following key characters: (1) 3 rd – 5 th antennal segments white or ivory (fifth may be brownish or up to sixth white) and contrasting with brown scapus; (2) vein m-cu postfurcal; (3) vein r curved; (4) mesopleuron punctate.	en	He, Jia-Yue, Achterberg, Cornelis Van, He, Jun-Hua, Tang, Pu, Chen, Xue-Xin (2025): The genus Phanerotomella Szépligeti (Insecta, Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Cheloninae) from China, with descriptions of sixteen new species.

9F7587EEFF40687B94432F52FD52D72C.taxon	discussion	Remarks Phanerotomella xui sp. nov. is similar to P. rugifera sp. nov. because the scapus and pedicellus are ivory and the flagellum brown, the temple in dorsal view slightly narrowing behind the eye, and the mesopleuron reticulate. However, P. xui can be distinguished from P. rugifera by the eye in dorsal view being 0.7 × as long as the temple (1.0 × in the latter), vein SR 1 4.0 × as long as vein r (5.0 × in the latter), the length of the fore wing 3.6 mm (2.8 – 3.1 mm in the latter), and the border of the metasomal carapace distinctly curved (less curved in the latter).	en	He, Jia-Yue, Achterberg, Cornelis Van, He, Jun-Hua, Tang, Pu, Chen, Xue-Xin (2025): The genus Phanerotomella Szépligeti (Insecta, Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Cheloninae) from China, with descriptions of sixteen new species.
