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.
