TL;DR: Females of three species, Cestrus tenuiventris (Cresson), Mallochia macula Kasparyan Ruíz-Cancino (Cryptinae), and Phytodietus moragai Gauld (Tryphoninae) are recorded and described for the first time.
Abstract: Based on a large quantity ichneumonid material collected mainly from the Mexican states of Veracruz and Quintana Roo, faunistic records of 79 species belonging to subfamilies Acaenitinae, Banchinae, Cryptinae, Cylloceriinae, Labeninae, Lycorininae, Microleptinae, Pimplinae, Tersilochinae, and Tryphoninae are provided. Three species are described as new to science: Latosculum ortegai Kasparyan Khalaim, sp. nov. (Cryptinae), Eusterinx madorae Khalaim Kasparyan, sp. nov. (Microleptinae) and Neotheronia veracruzana Khalaim, sp. nov. (Pimplinae). Two genera, Nipponaetes Uchida (Cryptinae) and Meggoleus Townes (Tersilochinae), and six species, Nipponaetes hansoni (Gauld) (Cryptinae), Lycorina moralesi Gauld (Lycorininae), Neotheronia murilloi Gauld (Pimplinae), Meggoleus pampahermosensis Alvarado (Tersilochinae), Phytodietus moragai Gauld, and Zagryphys zulaya Gauld (Tryphoninae), are first records from Mexico. Females of three species, Cestrus tenuiventris (Cresson), Mallochia macula Kasparyan Ruiz-Cancino (Cryptinae), and Phytodietus moragai Gauld (Tryphoninae), are recorded and described for the first time.
TL;DR: The genus Phytodietus is recorded from Thailand for the first time based on three species, and known distributional and biological data of the species are summarised and an identification key to the species is provided.
Abstract: BACKGROUND The genus Phytodietus Gravenhorst, 1829 is a species rich group of ichneumonid parasitoid wasps. It is represented in all zoogeographical regions, but knowledge of Phytodietus species in the Oriental region is patchy and restricted to some countries. NEW INFORMATION Here the genus Phytodietus is recorded from Thailand for the first time based on three species. Diagnosis and illustrations of P. longicauda (Uchida, 1931), P. pitambari Kaur et Jonathan, 1979 and P. spinipes (Cameron, 1905) are given. Furthermore, known distributional and biological data of the species are summarised and an identification key to the species is provided.
TL;DR: The genus Boethella is redescribed to include the new speciesBoethella jatai sp.
Abstract: Boethella jatai sp. nov. is described from a savanna area in the southeast of Brazil. The genus is redescribed to include the new species and an identification key for world species is provided.
TL;DR: A new ichneumonid species, Phytodietus (Weisia) sarae sp.
Abstract: A new ichneumonid species, Phytodietus (Weisia) sarae sp. nov. from Algeria and Tunisia is described and compared with congeneric Palaearctic species. The serious pest Lymantria dispar L. is recorded as a host of Phytodietus species for the first time.
TL;DR: Faunistic and distributional data for 33 species of the subfamilies Pimplinae and Tryphoninae from Turkey are given and for each species zoogeographical characterization is proposed.
Abstract: Faunistic and distributional data for 33 species of the subfamilies Pimplinae and Tryphoninae from Turkey are given. Of these, 10 species are new records for Turkey. The host for three species are established. For each species zoogeographical characterization is proposed.
