Capture in Cne : Orve (Dépt. Doubs - France) on 05 VII 2003
--------------
Biblio :
- van Achterberg 1993 : Illustrated key to the subfamilies of the Braconidae ...
Biblio indicated by H. Dumas :
- van Achterberg 1979 : A revision of the subfamily Zelinae auct. ...
------
Det. of Genus Homolobus s.l. : H. Dumas
Det. of sub-Genus & species : JP Balmer (Thanks to H. Dumas for her relevant criticisms)
----
Determination of the 5 sub-genera (see the photo of right Wings) quoted by van Achterberg 1979 :
- Basal 1/3 of vein SR of hindwing mainly pigmented, not sclerotized -> Apatia
- if not ->
    - Vein 1A+2A strongly curved -> Chartolobus
    - Vein 1A+2A almost rectilinear ->
      - Basal 1/3 of vein SR at the most almost weakly curved -> Homolobus or Oulophus
      - Basal 1/3 of vein SR distinctly curved -> Phylacter
Thus our capture is a Phylacter

Determination of the species (see the photo of right Wings) :
- Vein SR rather shortly sclerotized basally -> bifurcatus (Only in China, India, Nepal)
- Vein SR with basal 1/3 wholly sclerotized ->
    - Vein 2-SC+R transverse, longer than wide -> annulicornis
    - Vein 2-SC+R vertical, wider than long -> meridionalis
Thus our capture is an annulicornis

Of where the determination
------
annulicornis was also captured in Italy

In van Achtenberg 1993, can't find where Apatia is ruled out with the character "Basal 1/3 of vein SR of hindwing mainly pigmented, not sclerotized". It seems you have to look at the tarsal claws.
