The relatively small genus Colastomion Baker, 1917 is newly recorded for Vietnam’s braconid fauna and six new species are described and fully illustrated, viz. Colastomion asperum Long, sp. n; Colastomion cephonodes Long & PVLam, sp. n.; Colastomion citrum Long, sp. n.; Colastomion neuterum Long, sp. n.; Colastomion nigroconfusum Long & Pham, sp. n. and Colastomion vietnamenese Long, sp. n. Based on both females and males, a key to the new species from Vietnam is given. Diagnostic characters of the new species are also analyzed and compared with other Colastomion species from the Oriental region. Additionally, the first host record for the new species, C. cephonodes sp. n., is provided as this new species is reared from caterpillars of the coffee hawkmoth, Cephonodes hylas (Linnaeus, 1771).

The genus Leptophion is recorded for the first time from Vietnam, including new records of three species, viz. L. giganteus Shimizu & Watanabe, L. maculipennis (Cameron) and L. radiatus (Uchida), for the country. The comparative morphological and pictorial characters of Vietnamese specimens were given. In addition, variations and in-country distribution of newly recorded species were also provided.

Two species of the genus Acropimpla, viz. A. bicarinata (Cameron) and A. uchidai (Cushman), are recorded for the first time from Vietnam. An updated, illustrated key to all eight Vietnamese species of Acropimpla is provided.

Six new species of three small genera of the subfamily Rogadinae: Cystomastacoides van Achterberg, 1997; Gyroneuron Kokujev, 1901 and Rogasodes Chen & He, 1997, viz. Cystomastacoides contrastus Long, sp. n.; Cystomastacoides similis Long, sp. n.; Gyroneuron asperatum Long, sp. n.; Gyroneuron bicoloratum Long, sp. n.; Gyroneuron glabrum Long, sp. n. and Rogasodes phongi Long & Hoa, sp. n.; and three new species of the subgenus Arcaleiodes Chen & He, 1997 from Vietnam, namely: Aleiodes (Arcaleiodes) hoanglienensis Long, sp. n., Aleiodes (Arcaleiodes) sapa Long, sp. n. and Aleiodes (Arcaleiodes) simulatus Long, sp. n. are described. Additionally, two genera: Cystomastacoides van Achterberg and Rogasodes Chen & He, and two species: Aleiodes (Arcaleiodes) sinamensis Quicke & Butcher and Cystomastacoides coxalis Chen & He are newly recorded for Vietnam’s braconid fauna. Illustrated keys to species of the genera Cystomastacoides, Gyroneuron and subgenus Arcaleiodes from Vietnam are given. The checklist and distribution of the already known species of the genera are also provided. Citation: Long KD, Hiep ND, Hoa DT, Nhi PT, 2018.

The paper presents a checklist of the genus Rhaphuma Pascoe, 1858 belonging to the tribe Clytini from Vietnam. Of the total 26 species, there were eight species newly recorded for the Vietnam’s fauna, viz. Rhaphuma anongi Gressitt et Rondon, 1970; Rhaphuma clarina Gressitt et Rondon, 1970; Rhaphuma constricta Gressitt et Rondon, 1970; Rhaphuma diana Gahan, 1906; Rhaphuma eleodina Gressitt et Rondon, 1970; Rhaphuma elongata Gressitt et Rondon, 1970; Rhaphuma minima Gressitt et Rondon, 1970 and Rhaphuma phiale Gahan, 1906. All species are presented with notes on distribution. Bài báo thống kê danh sách 26 loài thuộc giống Rhaphuma Pascoe, 1858, trong số đó có 8 loài là ghi nhận mới cho khu hệ Xén tóc của Vietnam, đó là: Rhaphuma anongi Gressitt et Rondon, 1970; Rhaphuma clarina Gressitt et Rondon, 1970; Rhaphuma constricta Gressitt et Rondon, 1970; Rhaphuma diana Gahan, 1906; Rhaphuma eleodina Gressitt et Rondon, 1970; Rhaphuma elongata Gressitt et Rondon, 1970; Rhaphuma minima Gressitt et Rondon, 1970; Rhaphuma phiale Gahan, 1906. Ngoài ra, bài báo còn cung cấp thông tin về phân bố của mỗi loàiở trong nước cũng như trên thế giới., Journal of Vietnamese Environment, Vol 9 No 1 (2018)

In this paper, 48 ichneumonid species of 14 genera, two tribes of the subfamily Pimplinae were listed on the basis of material collected during the time from 2003 to 2011 in four provinces from the Central Highlands of Vietnam and a lesser degree of previous records. Among 48 aforemention pimpline no less than 16 species were described recently as new for science. The diversity of topography and vegetation types resulted in the high level of species richness and new discoveries of the region. Bài báo này giới thiệu danh sách 48 loài ong cự thuộc 14 giống, 2 tộc của phân họ Pimplinae dựa trên việc phân tích các mẫu vật thu tại Tây Nguyên trong thời gian từ năm 2003–2011 và một số ít loài dựa trên các ghi nhận trước đây. Trong số đó, 16 loài mới được mô tả trong thời gian 5 năm trở lại đây. Sự đa dạng về địa hình và các kiểu thảm thực vật khác nhau đã tạo nên tính đa dạng thành phần loài và các phát hiện mới của ong cự ở khu vực Tây Nguyên đầy tiềm năng này., Journal of Vietnamese Environment, Vol 6 No 3 (2014)
