Abstract: A total of 475 braconid species were described by Gy. Szépligeti in his 34 papers published in 1896–1914. The type material of 452 species is present in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, that of 22 species proved to be lost and that of one species proved inappropriate for designation. The method of selecting holotypes, lectotypes and paralectotypes are discussed. New combinations and other taxonomical implications for l8 species are proposed. The type material of 742 braconid species described by Szépligeti – including non-European Braconinae revised earlier by Quicke – is deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum.
