East Asiatic species of the genus Neurocrassus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
S.A. Belokobylskij
Abstract. The taxonomic position of Neurocrassus Šnoflak, 1945 is discussed. Four new species and one subspecies from the Primorsk Territory (Russian Far East) and Vietnam with the first recognition of females of this genus are described and figured: N. mariae sp. n. (Russia, Vietnam), N. tentorialis sp. n. (Russia, Vietnam), N. fabimaculatus sp. n. (Russia), N. crassinervis sp. n. (Vietnam) and N. rarus indomalayicus ssp. n. (Vietnam). The forma abnormis f. n. of N. crassinervis with unusual absence of enlargement of the male fore wing is described. The new combination Neurocrassus rarus (Belokobylskij, 1982) (from Ontsira) is established. A key to species of Neurocrassus is given.
