Abstract

A new braconid species from the Cardiochilinae genus Bohayella Belokobylskij, 1987 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), Bohayella albobasalis Belokobylskij et Ku, sp. nov., is described and illustrated from South Korea. The illustrated redescription of the Bohayella type species, Bohayella tobiasi Belokobylskij, 1987, and a key to the Asian species of this genus are provided. The genus Bohayella is recorded in the fauna of the Korean Peninsula for the first time.
