Ordo: Hymenoptera
Familia: Braconidae
Genus: Braunsia
Name
Braunsia fumipennis (Cameron) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Microdus fumipennis Cameron 1899[1], original combination. [OUMNH, examined], North Eastern India
- Braunsia pumatica van Achterberg and Long 2010[2], syn. n.[RMNH, examined], Vietnam.
Diagnosis
The color pattern is somewhat similar to that of Braunsia sumatrana, but this is the only similarity between the species. The first median metasomal tergite of Braunsia fumipennis is much narrower than that of Braunsia sumatrana (compare figures 12f and 16c), and the first metasomal tergum of Braunsia fumipennis is entirely melanic whereas that of Braunsia sumatrana is white basally.
Variation
The mid femur varies from yellow to black; the fourth metasomal tergum varies from almost completely smooth to aciculate, and may or may not have several transverse rows of setae. None of these character states are correlated in such a manner as to suggest different species.
