Superfamily ICHNEUMONOIDEA 387 



Type-species: Adelognathus brevicomis Holmgren. Desig. by Viereck, 1912. 

 Pammicra Foerster, 1868. Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, Verb. 25: 181. 



Type-species: Hemiteles dorsalis Gravenborst. By subsequent monotypy from 

 inclusion by Tbomson, 1883. 

 Synaema Foerster, 1868. Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, Verb. 25: 201. 



Type-species: Adelognathus brevicomis Holmgren. Monotypically included and 

 desig. by Viereck, 1914. Perkins (1962) incorrectly stated that species had been 

 included by Szepligeti (1911), but Szepligeti merely placed Syyiaeina as a 

 synonym of Adelogyiatlius, which does not constitute inclusion of species. 

 Notomeris Foerster, 1868. Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, Verb. 25: 201. 



Type-species: Adelogiiathus difformis Holmgren. By subsequent monotypy from 

 inclusion by Thomson, 1888. According to Perkins (1943) the species identified as 

 A. difformis Holmgren by Thomson is A. thomsoyii Schmiedeknecht. 

 Cnemischys Foerster, 1868. Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, Verb. 25: 201. 



Type-species: Adelognathus (Cnemischus) pilosus Thomson. Desig. by Townes, 1944 

 from two species included by Thomson, 1888. 

 Pammicrus Thomson, 1883. Opusc. Ent. 9: 880. Emend. 

 Cnemischus Thomson, 1888. Opusc. Ent. 12: 1277. Emend. 



Townes (1969) treated Adelognathus as the only genus in the Adelognathinae; the genus is 

 Holarctic and of moderate size. Several species have been reared from larvae or savvflies; in one 

 case the Adelognathus larvae are known to have fed externally and gregariously.
