(Braconidae: Braconinae) with the type species Bracon quinqueareolatus Granger, 1949, is described and illustrated. Bracon biareolatus Granger, 1949 and B. madagascariensis Szepligeti, 1913 are assigned to the genus Sculptolobus Yang, van Achterberg et Chen, 2008. Bracon griseopubescens Granger, 1949 is attributed to the subgenus Asiabracon Tobias, 1957. The lectotype for Bracon quinqueareolatus Granger is designated. All the listed species are redescribed, illustrated and their position is discussed.
