New species of Microchelonus with light-coloured legs from Turkmenistan (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
V.I. Tobias
Abstract. Three new species of Microchelonus (M. repeteki, M. volkovitshi and M. zygophylli) are described and figured. All of them have light-coloured (yellow or brown-yellow) legs, a character uncommon in Palaearctic species which normally have black hind femora. Differences between the new species from the widely distributed Palaearctic species M. latrunculus Marsh. and some Centralasian species, also with pale legs, are given.
