Dolabraulax Quicke 1986: Ent. Mon. Mag. 122 (1): 18; Type species: Dolabraulax implicatus Quicke 1986.

General.

This genus may be separated from all other Braconinae by the combination of the following characters: scapus small, ventrally shorter than dorsally with dorso- and medio-basal expansions; propodeum posteriorly with a mid-longitudinal carina; and first metasomal tergite with the median area formed into a transverse ridge.

Dolabraulax is a small genus with only one species known from Java and the biology is unknown (Quicke, 1984). In this study, three new species of this genus are recognized, i.e. Dolabraulax jigongshanus sp. n., Dolabraulax brevivena sp. n. and Dolabraulax flavus sp. n., which are fully described and illustrated.
