Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The larval parasitoid <italic>Bracon</italic> (<italic>Uncobracon</italic>) <italic>apoderi</italic> Watanabe (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is reported from Kyushu for the first time. Two host weevils, <italic>Phymatapoderus latipennis</italic> and <italic>Paroplapoderus pardalis</italic> (Coleoptera: Attelabidae), are newly recorded. <italic>Bracon apoderi</italic> parasitized three attelabid species, including <italic>Apoderus balteatus</italic>, but did not parasitize <italic>Cycnotrachelus roelofsi</italic> even though it is a dominant attelabid species in the study site. In addition, <italic>B. apoderi</italic> mainly parasitized suspended cradles rather than cut‐off cradles.</p> </abstract>
