C731E358FFCAFF8BD6CBFD7752DBFB9D.taxon	discussion	Remarks This genus was originally described from Central Africa (Uganda). Examination of type material for Doryctes species described by Granger (1949) from Madagascar showed that D. pilosus Granger, 1949 actually belongs to Hemispathius (comb. nov.) due to its shorter and wider first metasomal tergite and its shorter acrosternite. This species, characterised by the entirely yellow colouration, is also found in Yemen.	en	Belokobylskij, Sergey A., Achterberg, Cornelis Van (2021): Review of the braconid parasitoid subfamily Doryctinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) from the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

C731E358FFC9FF88D68CFD6150FFF95A.taxon	discussion	Remarks The status of this taxon is still under discussion because the only character that separates it from M. proprius is the presence of vein r-m of the fore wing (Edmardash et al. 2020). The holotype of M. proprius from Algeria as well as two females from Saudi Arabia and Yemen lack the second radiomedial vein (r-m) in fore wing combined with an evenly curved second and third radial abscissae (3 - SR + SR 1); this is considered to be an original character state of Mimodoryctes. However, 10 additional specimens (eight females and two males) from Yemen have the second radiomedial vein (rm) distinctly developed separating a comparatively small second radiomedial (submarginal) cell and are here listed as M. arabicus. All other morphological features of these specimens indicate that they belong to M. proprius. Variation (presence / absence) of the second radiomedial vein (r-m) is known to occur in some species of the Hecabolini genera Leluthia and Pareucorystes, but such variation has never been recorded before in members of the tribe Doryctini. Therefore, additional material as well as additional data (preferably molecular) are needed to solve this question.	en	Belokobylskij, Sergey A., Achterberg, Cornelis Van (2021): Review of the braconid parasitoid subfamily Doryctinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) from the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

C731E358FFF6FFB6D558FD565604FB4E.taxon	discussion	Remarks Spathius is one of the largest genera of the subfamily Doryctinae, including over 450 described and a vast number of undescribed species (Zaldívar-Riverón et al. 2018). This genus is widely distributed in the five continents, although most of its species richness is concentrated in the Afrotropical and Oriental regions (with more than 350 described species). The genus Spathius has not previously been recorded for the Arabian Peninsula, in spite of its intermediate position between the Africa and Oriental Asia – with both being the most species rich continents for the genus.	en	Belokobylskij, Sergey A., Achterberg, Cornelis Van (2021): Review of the braconid parasitoid subfamily Doryctinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) from the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

C731E358FFF8FFBDD52EFEF25264FDF8.taxon	diagnosis	Comparative diagnosis This species belongs to the S. apidanus species-group (formerly a monotypic group from the Aru Islands) according to the position of its recurrent vein (m-cu) of the fore wing, arising from the parallel vein (CU 1 a) at a long distance from the apex of the brachial (subdiscal) cell, and the entirely smooth metasomal tergites behind the petiole. This new species distinctly differs from S. apidanus Nixon, 1943 by several diagnostic characters: vertex smooth (striate in S. apidanus), pronotal keel widely fused with posterior margin of pronotum in dorsal view (free and widely separated in S. apidanus), mesoscutum without transverse rugae on lateral lobes (with distinct additional rugae in S. apidanus), hind femur elongate-oval (claviform in S. apidanus), fore wing hyaline (dark brown with submedian pale facia in S. apidanus), petiole of metasoma rather short and wide, about 1.5 times longer than propodeum (very long and narrow, about 2.5 times longer in S. apidanus), ovipositor sheath distinctly shorter than metasoma (as long as body in S. apidanus), and body brownish yellow (dark brown in S. apidanus). Spathius austroarabicus sp. nov. may also include in the S. capaneus species-group in the section with a smooth tergite behind the petiole, having the hind tibia clothed only with very short setae, which are much shorter than the width of the tibia. This new species is similar in this group to S. semele Nixon, 1943, from Philippines, but differs from it by having the recurrent vein (m-cu) of the fore wing arising from the apex of brachial (subdiscal) cell (recurrent vein (m-cu) arising from the parallel vein (CU 1 a) at a long distance from the apex of the brachial (subdiscal) cell in S. semele), hind coxa and tibia entirely yellow (coxa brown and tibia darkened in posterior 0.7 in S. semele), and ovipositor sheath distinctly shorter than the metasoma (as long as body in S. semele).	en	Belokobylskij, Sergey A., Achterberg, Cornelis Van (2021): Review of the braconid parasitoid subfamily Doryctinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) from the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

C731E358FFE0FFA6D529F9A251B7FB78.taxon	discussion	Remarks This species was originally described from Japan and perhaps also occurs in China (Belokobylskij & Maetô 2009). The record of this species from the Arabian Peninsula strongly widens its known geographic distribution, and it is likely to also occur in the intervening part of Asia. Specimens from Yemen and the UAE possess a distinctive dark body colour.	en	Belokobylskij, Sergey A., Achterberg, Cornelis Van (2021): Review of the braconid parasitoid subfamily Doryctinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) from the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

C731E358FF99FFDCD6F6FDF15229FB1A.taxon	diagnosis	Comparative diagnosis This species is similar to the Indian P. colophon (Nixon, 1939), but differs from the latter species by having the body small (large in P. colophon), antenna 17 – 18 - segmented (29 - segmented in P. colophon), first flagellar segment short, 3.5 – 4.0 times longer than its apical width and as long as second segment (long, 4.5 and 1.3 times accordingly in P. colophon), recurrent vein (m-cu) of fore wing postfurcal or rarely subinterstitial (antefurcal in P. colophon), scutellum finely but distinctly reticulate-coriaceous (smooth in P. colophon) and mesoscutum almost entirely setose (setose only along notauli and laterally in P. colophon). Parallorhogas testaceus is also similar to the Malagasy Monolexis caudatus Szépligeti, 1913, but differs from it in having the second radiomedial vein (r-m) developed (always absent in the genus Monolexis, including M. caudatus), transverse diameter of eye 1.6 – 1.8 times longer than temple (2.3 times in M. caudatus), radial vein of fore wing (r) arising distinctly before middle of pterostigma (from middle in M. caudatus), nervellus (m-cu) of hind wing present (absent in M. caudatus), length of first tergite almost equal to its posterior width (1.2 times larger in M. caudatus) and ovipositor shorter than metasoma (distinctly longer in M. caudatus).	en	Belokobylskij, Sergey A., Achterberg, Cornelis Van (2021): Review of the braconid parasitoid subfamily Doryctinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) from the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

C731E358FFA3FFE6D6B0FDD95265F801.taxon	diagnosis	Comparative diagnosis This species is very similar to Rhaconotus testaceiceps (Cameron, 1910) from Indonesia (Belokobylskij 2001 b), but differs from the latter by having the posterior lenticular area of the second metasomal tergite medially long (short in Rh. testaceiceps), first metasomal tergite narrow and long (wide and short in in Rh. testaceiceps), brachial (second subdiscal) cell distally closed distinctly before recurrent vein (m-cu) (almost on the vein level in Rh. testaceiceps), propodeum with unclear delineated basolateral areas (with distinctly delineated areas in Rh. testaceiceps). Rhaconotus magniareolus sp. nov. is also similar to Rh. arabicus, but differs from it in having the third and fourth metasomal tergites in the distal third without transverse furrows (with a deep and coarsely crenulate transverse curved furrow in Rh. arabicus), second metasomal suture without a median break (with median break in Rh. arabicus), fifth metasomal tergite entirely coarsely striate (at least medially widely smooth or almost smooth in Rh. arabicus); legs mainly yellow (mainly reddish brown to dark reddish brown in Rh. arabicus); second radiomedial (submarginal) cell longer (short in Rh. arabicus).	en	Belokobylskij, Sergey A., Achterberg, Cornelis Van (2021): Review of the braconid parasitoid subfamily Doryctinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) from the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

C731E358FFACFF12D6FEF90950B7F84D.taxon	discussion	Remarks After careful study of the photos of the Rhaconotus species determined as Rh. carinatus Polaszek, 1994 by Edmardash et al. (2020), and the examination of numerous specimens from the UAE and Yemen, we are now sure that the specimen listed by Edmardash et al. (2020) is actually Rh. sudanensis. Therefore, Rh. carinatus has to be excluded both from the faunistic list of Saudi Arabia and of the Arabian Peninsula. Sometimes, a few specimens from Yemen are distinctly infuscate with the head dorsally dark brown to almost black. Additionally, a few specimens from Yemen have a slightly longer ovipositor, with the sheath as long as or only weakly shorter than length of metasoma.	en	Belokobylskij, Sergey A., Achterberg, Cornelis Van (2021): Review of the braconid parasitoid subfamily Doryctinae (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) from the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
