Bracon

Translingual thumb|Bracon melissaespinozae species. Etymology mul Q156205 1804. Multiple etymologies have been suggested: mul ine-pro *bʰreHg- Borrowed from mul oc bracon pointer (from mul pro bracon hunting dog, which evolved into Modern Occitan by the 14th century), whence also modern oc braconar to poach, fr braconner to poach, es braco pointer hunting dog, and gl braco pointer hunting dog.braco This draws a parallel to the semantic etymology of the closely-related parasitoid wasps of the Ichneumonidae family, whose etymon, grc ἰχνεύμων, means "tracker." If so, further from mul gem-pro *brakko setter and mul ine-pro *bʰreHg- to smell. Merriam-Webster posits the etymology as an irregular interpretation of grc βρᾰχῠ́ς short, with the neuter suffix grc -ον, possibly due to the relatively small size of these wasps.Braconidae This is unlikely, however, considering the already-existing grc βρᾰχῑ́ων upper arm and relatively large difference in spelling between the two terms, whereas most other taxon names published by Fabricius remain consistent with their Ancient Greek etyma in terms of spelling. The taxonomic name is also of the masculine gender, incompatible with the neuter suffix grc -ον.
