Description
Female. Fore wing length 3.2–4.0 mm. Width of head (dorsal view) 1.7–1.9× its median length. Transverse diameter of eye (dorsal view) 1.7–2.2× longer than temple. OOL 2.1–2.7× Od; POL 0.93–1.83× Od; OOL 1.5–2.3× POL. Longitudinal diameter of eye (lateral view) 1.3–1.5× its transverse diameter; hind margins of eye and temple subparallel. Face width 1.4–1.6× combined height of face and clypeus. Longitudinal diameter of eye 3.1–3.3× longer than malar space (anterior view). Malar suture absent. Width of hypoclypeal depression 1.5–1.6× larger than distance from depression to eye. Antenna 0.75–1.10× as long as fore wing, with 27–34 antennomeres. First, middle and penultimate flagellomeres 1.8–2.5×, 1.4–2.2×, and 1.8–2.2× longer than wide, respectively. Mesosoma 1.5–1.6× longer than its maximum height. Mesoscutum widely setose on notaulic area and posteriorly, often with sparse setae medio-longitudinally. Notauli deep anteriorly, shallow and united posteriorly. Mesepimeral sulcus smooth, metapleural sulcus crenulate. Medio-longitudinal keel more or less developed in apical third of propodeum, branching. Fore wing vein r arising from basal 0.40–0.48 of pterostigma; vein 1-R1 1.5–1.8× as long as pterostigma; marginal cell 8.5–13.5× longer than distance from its apex to apex of wing; vein 3-SR 2.3–2.9× vein r, 0.52–0.64× as long as vein SR1, 1.3–1.5× vein 2-SR. Hind femur 3.4–4.3× longer than wide. Hind tibia without subapical row of thick setae. Fifth segment of hind tarsus 0.4–0.5× as long as hind basitarsus and 0.85–1.00× as long as its second segment. Claws with shortly protruding and blunt basal lobes. First metasomal tergite with incomplete or complete dorsal carina and developed dorsolateral carinae, its median length 0.83–0.96× its apical width. Second tergite with weak, narrow, longitudinal median area and with more or less deep s-shaped crenulate dorsolateral impressions not bordered by carinae; medially 1.0–1.3× longer than third tergite; its basal width 1.6–1.8× its median length. Second metasomal suture deep, curved and crenulate. Apical margins of third–sixth tergites more or less thick. Ovipositor sheath 1.3–1.7× as long as hind tibia and 0.37–0.49× as long as fore wing. Apex of ovipositor with weak nodus and weak ventral serration. Body mainly smooth; face and frons weakly granulate, malar space granulate; mesopleuron smooth or partially with weak coriaceous sculpture; propodeum posteriorly almost smooth or weakly granulate; first metasomal tergite laterally weakly rugulose, posteriorly rugose; second tergite striate-rugulose or rugose to rugulose; posterior tergites with weakening papillary-like sculpture. Head, mesosoma and metasoma dorsally brownish black; head ventrally, pronotum, and mesoscutum along notauli, lateral margins of metasoma rusty brown or reddish yellow; tegula and legs brownish yellow; maxillary palps pale yellow; wing membrane weakly darkened, pterostigma brown, wing veins yellowish brown to brown.
Diagnosis
Bracon tergalis may be compared with B. sergeji and B. semitergalis. The differences between three species are presented in the key below.
Remarks
The differences between B. tergalis and B. sergeji are very weak, but persistent in the series of specimens of similar size. Because it is possible to separate two species using these characters, we treat them as valid species.
