744530540ED659E788658B840BFB9B58.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. In the key to the Old World genera of Braconinae (Quicke 1987), Sculptolobus runs to the couplets 56 - 74. Further diagnostics of the genus using this key is not possible, because the characters which are variable in species of Sculptolobus are used as diagnostic there (e. g., the relative length of the fore wing veins 2 - SR + M and 3 - SR, degree of development of the medio-longitudinal carina on propodeum and anterolateral areas on T 3 - T 5). The set of 19 genera included in the couplets 56 - 74 currently is not complete as nine later described Old World genera (excluding Sculptolobus) are suitable for this part of the key. These genera are: Acrocerilia van Achterberg, 1989, Ancilibracon Quicke, 1989, Crinibracon Quicke, 1988, Esengoides Quicke, 1989, Gelasinibracon Quicke, 1989, Scutibracon Quicke & Walker, 1989, Simplicibracon Quicke, 1988, Stephanobracon Ranjith & Quicke, 2016, and Uncobracon Papp, 1996. Preparation of a new version of the key to the genera related to Sculptolobus requires a larger-scale revision of many genera and is far beyond the scope of the current article. The diagnostic characters of the genus Sculptolobus are as follows: Scape with dorsal side longer than ventral side (correctly figured but mistakenly reversed in the original description). Face with weakly differentiated triangular area above clypeus and more or less developed medio-longitudinal elevation (Figs 2 M, 5 E, 8 D), sometimes very prominent and incorporating clypeus (Fig. 1 B). Clypeus flattened, with ventral rim (almost) not protruding and with no or weak dorsal carina. Malar suture weakly (Figs 7 B, 8 B, D) or deeply (Figs 2 M, 3 D) impressed; malar space not impressed. Notauli deep and often sculptured anteriorly, shallow posteriorly (Figs 2 T, 3 L). Precoxal sulcus shallowly and widely impressed (Figs 3 I, 4 K). Fore wing vein 1 - SR + M straight, vein 1 - SR very short. Angle between veins C + SC + R and 1 - SR about 70 - 85 °. Base of hind wing membrane evenly setose (Fig. 1 G). Fore tibia with thick setae only near its apex (Fig. 8 K). Hind tibia without subapical row of thick setae (Fig. 3 O). Tarsal claws with protruding basal lobes (Figs 2 S, 3 O). Metasoma with six coarsely sclerotised tergites. Median area of T 2 parallel-sided, incomplete, and laterally delineated by deep furrows. Anterolateral areas of T 2 (Fig. 2 U: ala) round, convex, separated by crenulate margin and / or furrows, with distal margins bordered by posteriorly converging sublateral carinae (Fig. 2 U: slc). Spiracle of T 2 located on dorsum of tergite, often far from its lateral margin (Fig. 3 I, J: s). Median area of T 3 absent. T 3 - T 5 with small anterolateral areas around spiracles separated by crenulate furrows (Fig. 3 J: ala). Apical margins of T 3 - T 6 thick, laterally straight (only margin of T 3 acutely protruding). Ovipositor sheath 0.5 - 2.0 x as long as hind tibia; apex of ovipositor with developed dorsal nodus and ventral serration (Figs 2 P, 3 F, 5 L). Head, mesosoma, coxae and most of metasoma granulate or coriaceous.	en	Samartsev, Konstantin, van Achterberg, Cornelis (2021): Afrotropical species of the genus Sculptolobus Yang, van Achterberg & Chen (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Braconinae).
