2462002BB0497C50A289C08A6708FC9C.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific name adelphius refers to the similarity of the new species to B. (T.) achterbergi and is derived from “ adelphe ” (Greek for sister). Notes. The new species is similar to B. (T.) achterbergi Haeselbarth, 1976 because occipital carina is completely absent, notauli comparatively narrow, precoxal sulcus reduced, first discal cell of fore wing widely truncate anteriorly, length of first metasomal tergite approx. 2.3 × its apical width, second metasomal tergite smooth, medial area of propodeum widened dorsally, length of vein r about equal to width of pterostigma, and 1 - CU 1: 2 - CU 1 ≈ 1: 8, but differs by having 20 antennomeres (18 – 19 in B. (T.) achterbergi), first metasomal tergite slightly widened apically and basal third largely smooth except for dorsal carinae (parallel-sided and basal third largely sculptured), head in frontal view narrowed ventrally (less narrowed), length of malar space 1.1 × basal width of mandible (distinctly less than to equal), vein 3 - CU 1 of fore wing strongly curved (weakly curved), hind femur widened apically (parallel-sided), and length of ovipositor sheath 0.23 × length of fore wing (0.27 – 0.28 ×).	en	Lu, Qian-Yu, Chai, Hong-Fei, Achterberg, Cornelis Van, Tang, Pu, Chen, Xue-Xin (2024): Review of the subgenus Tarpheion of the genus Blacus Nees (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Brachistinae) from China, with description of nine new species and eight new records.
