World representatives of the genus Napamus (Papp, 1993) (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) are reviewed, and their relationships are discussed on the basis of external morphological characters. The only two species described to date are recognized, redescribed and illustrated: Napamus vipio (Reinhard, 1880) and Napamus zomborii (Papp, 1993). Information about their hosts and distribution is also given. Napamus vipio is recorded for the first time from Bulgaria as well as Iran. In order to establish the identity and stabilize the nomenclature of Napamus vipio, a lectotype and paralectotypes are designated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
