The genus Tropobracon Cameron, 1905 (Braconidae: Braconinae) is revised and its species are keyed. The type species is re-described and fully illustrated. Two new species are described: T. comorensis spec. nov. from the Comores and T. infuscatus spec. nov. from Hong-Kong. Bracon dorsalis Matsumura, 1910 and Tropobracon luteus var. indica Ramakrishna Ayyar, 1928 are synonymized with T. luteus Cameron, 1905.

Parmi les quatre genres de chenilles mineuses du riz répertoriés dans le sud du Sénégal (Casamance), il apparait que Chilo spp. est le plus dommageable (importance des populations, type de dégât, plasticité de deux espèces dominantes). Un critère est donné pour différencier les deux espèces principales, Chilo zacconius et Chilo diffusilineus, au stade de l'oeuf
