1262BB07286A5C5C9440BEB379C0BDBC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The differences between two known species of Pseudocyanopterus are presented in the dichotomy below. 1 Median length of first metasomal tergite 0.70 - 0.85 x its apical width (Fig. 4 I). Ovipositor sheath 0.85 - 0.90 x as long as fore wing. First flagellomere 2.2 - 2.4 x as long as apically wide (Fig. 4 B). Median area of first metasomal tergite apically rugose (Fig. 4 I). Second metasomal tergite with weakly proximally curved dorsolateral impressions, areolate-rugose (Fig. 4 H); third-fifth tergites areolate-rugose to foveolate-rugose, their apical margins with deep, complete and foveate transverse subapical grooves Pseudocyanopterus pagiophloeusis Samartsev & Li, sp. nov. - Median length of first metasomal tergite 1.3 - 1.4 x its apical width (Fig. 2 C). Ovipositor sheath 1.3 - 1.4 x as long as fore wing (Fig. 2 A). First flagellomere about 2.7 x as long as apically wide. Median area of first metasomal tergite apically weakly foveate (Fig. 2 C). Second metasomal tergite with S-shaped dorsolateral impressions, longitudinally rugose anteriorly, smooth posteriorly; third-fifth tergites almost smooth, their apical margins with incomplete, weak and weakly crenulate transverse subapical grooves Pseudocyanopterus raddeivorus Cao, van Achterberg & Yang	en	Samartsev, Konstantin, Hao, De-Jun, Li, Tao (2021): A new species of the genus Pseudocyanopterus van Achterberg, Cao & Yang (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Braconinae) from China. Journal of Hymenoptera Research 86: 79-92, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/jhr.86.70971, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.3897/jhr.86.70971
DD89B851A4C05792BA77211FA6ABFC2D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Pseudocyanopterus is very similar to the genera Bracomorpha Papp, 1971 and the recently described Parallobracon Li, van Achterberg & Chen, 2021. The three taxa are associated by the following character states. Malar space more or less impressed, but malar suture not developed; metasoma with five visible tergites, their apical margins thick; second metasomal tergite with large anterolateral triangular areas delineated by anterolateral posteriorly diverging grooves and sublateral S-shaped grooves; median area of second metasomal tergite large, triangular; ovipositor apically acute, with weak nodus located somewhat distant from its apex and with weak serration (both structures become easily obliterated during oviposition and were not found in some species of Bracomorpha). The members of these genera are known to be parasitoids of xylophagous insects. Species of the genus Bracomorpha attack beetles from the families Cerambycidae and Curculionidae and lepidopterans of the family Tortricidae (Yu et al. 2016), Pseudocyanopterus raddeivorus Cao, van Achterberg & Yang is recorded from the oak longhorn beetle Massicus raddei (Blessig & Solsky) on Quercus liaotungensis Koidzumi (Cao et al. 2020); the biology of Parallobracon is unknown, but possibly also associated with xylophages. Pseudocyanopterus, Bracomorpha, and Parallobracon run to the couplet 121 (Campyloneurus Szepligeti, 1900) in the key to the Old World genera of Braconinae (Quicke 1987). The genus Campyloneurus differs from all three genera by the absence of anterolateral posteriorly diverging grooves on second metasomal tergite. The differences between three related genera are presented in the key below (the characters additionally defining taxa under a certain paragraph of a key couplet, but variable in an alternative paragraph, are listed after a dash). 1 Dorsal side of scape (lateral view) longer than its ventral side, laterally straight or only slightly concave (Fig. 4 B). Vein 3 - SR 0.3 - 0.4 x as long as vein SR 1 (Figs 2 B, 4 A). Ovipositor sheath at least 2.6 x as long as hind tibia, 0.85 - 1.40 x as long as fore wing (Figs 2 A, 3 A). Malar space very weakly impressed. - Hind wing membrane basally evenly (but sometimes sparsely) setose (Fig. 4 A, C) Pseudocyanopterus van Achterberg, Cao & Yang - Dorsal side of scape (lateral view) as long as its ventral side or shorter, laterally concave (Fig. 2 F). Vein 3 - SR 0.5 - 0.8 x as long as vein SR 1 (Fig. 2 E, H). Ovipositor sheath at most 0.9 - 2.4 x as long as hind tibia, 0.2 - 0.7 x as long as fore wing (Fig. 2 D, G). Malar space distinctly impressed 2 2 Ovipositor sheath 2.1 - 2.4 x as long as hind tibia, 0.5 - 0.7 x as long as fore wing (Fig. 2 G) Parallobracon Li, van Achterberg & Chen - Ovipositor sheath 0.9 - 1.6 x as long as hind tibia, 0.20 - 0.45 x as long as fore wing (Fig. 2 D) Bracomorpha Papp	en	Samartsev, Konstantin, Hao, De-Jun, Li, Tao (2021): A new species of the genus Pseudocyanopterus van Achterberg, Cao & Yang (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Braconinae) from China.
