038AB54A0B6FFFB3FD8AFB34FAF9FD32.taxon	discussion	Remarks This species is similar to C. ubangus (Papp, 2013) but differs in the following characters: T 1 spatula-shaped (indistinctly constricted towards apex) (spoon-shaped in C. ubangus); median longitudinal carina bifurcated before apex of propodeum (median longitudinal carina reaches apical margin in C. ubangus); and first discal cell of fore wing nearly 1.5 × as wide as high (1.1 × as wide as high in C. ubangus).	en	Liu, Zhen, Polaszek, Andrew (2025): The species of Centistidea Rohwer, 1914 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Miracinae) from Brazil.

038AB54A0B72FFB3FDD0FD08FEE9F8A5.taxon	discussion	Remarks Penteado-Dias (1999) mentioned that it was separated from C. insularis, both sharing the same host, Leucoptera coffeella, by the yellow mesosoma, the length of the side of ocellar triangle to OOL and the color of the third and following tergites. But the distinction does not seem that obvious based on our examination of the paratypes of C. insularis here. Based on our examination, C. insularis can be better distinguished by the less developed notauli on the mesoscutum, not foveolate scutellar sulcus and the shape of T 2.	en	Liu, Zhen, Polaszek, Andrew (2025): The species of Centistidea Rohwer, 1914 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Miracinae) from Brazil.
