FF5D87B5FF89A8257ED03E5DFF25132A.taxon	description	(Figs. 1, 3, 5, 7, 8)	en	Zhang, Y. Miles, Sharanowski, Barbara J. (2014): New species of Eudiospilus (Braconidae, Brachistinae) from Madagascar with a review of the genus and key to species. Zootaxa 3838 (1): 120-126, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3838.1.7
FF5D87B5FF89A8257ED03809FD2A15E8.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Eudiospilus is distinguished from all other diospiline genera by fore wing veins 3 RSa at least 1.2 x the length of 2 RS, 2 M equal to or 0.9 x the length of 2 RS, and the slightly incurved r-m crossvein at the posterior end of the vein (Fig. 7). Superficially, Eudiospilus and Schauinslandia Ashmead are similar in general appearance as members of both genera have large subquadrate heads, thickened antennae, and are similar in general coloration. The latter, however, is restricted to Australasia (Ashmead 1900) and the rectangular shape of the second submarginal cell in Eudiospilus is synapomorphic for the genus and different from the upside-down trapezoid (2 M 0.8 x shorter than 2 RS) shape found in species of Schauinslandia. The geographic separation, morphological differences, and molecular results from Sharanowski et al. (2011) justify the retention of Eudiospilus as a distinct genus rather than a junior synonym of Schauinslandia.	en	Zhang, Y. Miles, Sharanowski, Barbara J.

FF5D87B5FF89A8217ED03F15FD1515EC.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from E. conradti using the following combination of characters: head largely black (Figs. 2, 4), antennal segments brown basally and apically, intersected by a band of 11 white segments; propodeum rugose-rugulose without median furrow (Fig. 6); fore wing 2 a present, not reaching the margin of the wing (Fig. 9); hind wing 2 - 1 A very short, not reaching the margin of the wing (Fig. 10); tergite 2 with brown band on posterior margin; and ovipositor 1.1 x longer than the total length of body (Fig. 2). Eudiospilus rubrumbarus is restricted to Madagascar, while E. conradti is found in Cameroon and Angola.	en	Zhang, Y. Miles, Sharanowski, Barbara J.
