Superfamily ICHNEUMONOIDEA 145 



remainder of the Braconidae, or the Acyclostomi. 



The subfamilies are arranged in this catalog essentially in phylogenetic order from the least 

 specialized to the most specialized. However, within each subfamily the genera are arranged in 

 alphabetical order as are the species within each genus. The names used for the hosts are the 

 latest acceptable names which were available at the time the manuscripts were prepared. Where 

 a North American species occurs in other geographical areas, only the North American hosts for 

 that parasite are listed.

Subfamily DORYCTINAE 



This subfamily is probably the most primitive group of the Braconidae. Most species are ec- 

 toparasites of wood boring beetle larvae, but a few attack lepidopterous larvae and sawfly lar- 

 vae. Although the subfamily represents a large and rather homogeneous group of genera, it has 

 been divided into several subfamilies and tribes by past workers. It is treated here as defined by 

 Marsh (1965, 1967, 1970) which includes the subfamily Spathiinae of the previous catalog.

Genus ACROPHASMUS Enderlein 



Acrophasmus Enderlein, 1912. Arch. f. Naturgesch. 78(A)(2): 16. 

 Type-species: Acrophasmus exilis Enderlein. Orig. desig. 



Most of the North American species of this Western Hemisphere genus were incorrectly 

 placed in the genus Doryctinus prior to 1968. The meager host records suggest that parasitism 

 is restricted to the powder post beetles of the families Bostrichidae and Lyctidae.
