Beitr. 46/1 5-220 31.7.2014 A catalogue of the Braconidae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea) of the Malagasy subregion1 M. MADL & C. VAN ACHTERBERG A b s t r a c t : We have catalogued 164 genera of the family Braconidae containing 577 species and three subspecies excluding unnamed species. In addition ten species are classified as species incertae sedis. Several taxonomical changes are proposed. Coleopoides VAN ACHTERBERG & LI 2013 is a replacement name for the genus Bitomus SZÉPLIGETI 1910. New replacement names are proposed for following species: Camptothlipsis tricolor GRANGER 1949 = Therophilus vizekae MADL & VAN ACHTERBERG new name, Phaenocarpa bicolor GRANGER 1949 = Phaenocarpa manuelae MADL & VAN ACHTERBERG new name and Dinocampus luteus SZÉPLIGETI 1914 = Perilitus luteoides MADL & VAN ACHTERBERG new name. K e y w o r d s : Braconidae, catalogue, taxonomy, Malagasy subregion Introduction The worldwide distributed family Braconidae contains more than 2600 species in the Afrotropical region (YU et al. 2013). Braconidae are parasitoids of several insect orders, e.g. Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Orthoptera. As many hosts are of economic importance, often Braconidae are used in biological control programs or have a high potential for it. It is necessary to remark, that the term variation is used in the sense of subspecies in all volumes of "Hymenopterorum Catalogus (nova editio)" and in GRANGER (1949). How to use the catalogue The systematic part of the catalogue is organized alphabetically. Subgenera are in brack- ets. Synonyms, misidentifications and identifications to genus level are marked with an asterisk (*) and printing errors with (!). Identifications to genus level are only mentioned, if the material has been identified to species later, or the record is new to the subregion or to an island. Papers, in which identifications to genus level are mentioned, are cited in references of that subfamily in any case. Only genera described from the Malagasy 1 This paper is dedicated to Maximilian Fischer on the occasion of his 85th birthday thanking for fruitful co-operation over many years. © Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at 6 subregion are mentioned under synonyms of that genus and the number of valid species is also restricted to the Malagasy subregion. The term, e.g. (Mauritius, cat. Mauritius), means, that the catalogue is restricted to Mauritius and a record from Mauritius is cited. As the countries of the Malagasy subregion consists of several islands or island groups, they are listed under the name of the country, e.g. Mauritius: Mauritius, Rodrigues. The islands belonging to France are cited under Réunion except Mayotte. The known records from Madagascar including islands are listed province by province from North to South and old names are in brackets. At the end of each subfamily is the chapter references. For a bibliography of the whole family see YU et al. (2013).
