KEY TO THE MESOCENTRUS SPECIES

OF AUSTRALIA, NEW GUINEA AND NEW CALEDONIA

1 (2) Mesoscutum polished, three lobes of mesoscutum punctate, interspaces larger than punctures except fore half of median lobe where punctures denser and smaller ( Betylobracon TOBIAS, 1995 View in CoL ). – SR1 of fore wing twice as long as 3–SR ( Fig. 1 View Figs 1–11 ). In lateral view temporal carina strong and angularly bent below towards hypostomal carina ( Fig. 2 View Figs 1–11 : see arrow). Temple in dorsal view strongly constricted ( Fig. 3 View Figs 1–11 ). First tergite subparallelsided ( Fig. 28 View Figs 20–28 ). Antenna with 17–23 antennomeres. Dark brown with much testaceous and yellowish pattern, legs yellow. f: 3.7–4 mm. – Australia Betylobracon waterhousi TOBIAS, 1979

2 (1) Mesoscutum densely granulose, matt, never punctate ( Mesocentrus SZÉPLIGETI, 1900 View in CoL ). – SR1 of fore wing less than twice as long as 3–SR ( Figs 9 View Figs 1–11 , 17 View Figs 12–19 , 25 View Figs 20–28 , 34 View Figs 29–36 , 43 View Figs 37–46 , 52 View Figs 47–55 ). In lateral view temporal carina variably angularly bent above or below or simply bent without angle ( Figs 5 View Figs 1–11 , 13 View Figs 12–19 , 21 View Figs 20–28 , 30 View Figs 29–36 , 38 View Figs 37–46 , 48 View Figs 47–55 ).
