Review of the genus Wroughtonia Cameron, 1899 (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Helconinae), with the description of 12 new species from Vietnam. (American Museum novitates, no. 3953)

Abstract

The genus Wroughtonia Cameron (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Helconinae) is reviewed. Twelve new species of the genus Wroughtonia are described and illustrated: Wroughtonia angularis, sp. nov.; W. aspera, sp. nov.; W. coffeana, sp. nov.; W. elongata, sp. nov.; W. laevis, sp. nov.; W. plana, sp. nov.; W. similis, sp. nov.; W. simulata, sp. nov.; W. sonla, sp. nov., and W. vietnamica, sp. nov., authored by Long, and W. hatinhensis, sp. nov., and W. undulata, sp. nov., authored by Long and van Achterberg. A new subgenus (Neowroughtonia, type species Wroughtonia angularis) is proposed for the species with mandibles angularly bend ventrally; malar suture absent; occipital carina indistinct mediodorsally and vein 2-SC+R of hind wing vertical. Five species are newly recorded for the Braconidae fauna of Vietnam, viz. W. bifurcata Yan and van Achterberg, 2017; W. brevicarinata (Yan and Chen, 2014); W. indica (Singh, Belokobylskij and Chouhan, 2005); W. cornuta Cameron, 1899, and W. varifemora Yan and Chen, 2017. A key to Vietnamese species of Wroughtonia is provided.
