Superfamily ICHNEUMONOIDEA 421 



Type-species: Hemiteles (Ortliizema) omatus Brischke. By subsequent monotypy 

 from inclusion by Brischi<e, 1890. The type-species is regarded as a synonym of 0.

Type-species: Hemiteles {Naites[!]) rufus Brischke. By subsequent monotypy from 

 inclusion by Brischke, 1892. The type-species is regarded as a synonym of 0. 

 Iiadrocerus (Thomson). 

 Phyzelufi Foerster, 1868. Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, Verh. 25: 185. 



Type-species: PhyzeluN fasciatiis Brischke. By subsequent monotypy from inclusion 

 by Brischke, 1888. Townes and Gupta (1962) disputed Perkins' (1962) synonymy 

 of fanciatuH with Aptesis flagitator (Rossi) on the premise that A.flagitator does 

 not agree with the original description of fasciatiis (the holotype of fasciatus 

 having been destroyed), and Townes (1970) placed /a scm/it.s as a synonym of 0. 

 Iiadrocerus (Thomson). 



Townes (1970) stated that Orthizema is a large genus of Holarctic distribution, but did not 

 state how many undescribed Nearctic species he has seen.

Genus UCHIDELLA Townes 



ItaviHs Foerster, 1868. Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, Verh. 25: 179. Preocc. by Schmidt-Goebel, 

 1846. 



Type-species: Heiniteles {Itaniits) okaniotoi Uchida. By subsequent monotypy from 

 inclusion by Uchida, 1936. The type-species is regarded as a synonym of U. 

 marginata (Uchida). 

 Uchidella Townes, 1957. Ent. Soc. Wash., Proc. 59: 109. N. name for Itamus Foerster. 



Except for one species known from Taiwan, Uchidella is said to be a Holarctic genus of 

 moderate size (see Townes, 1970). There are no described Nearctic species.

Genus GNOTUS Foerster 



G7iotus Foerster, 1868. Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, Verh. 25: 179. 



Type-species: Hemiteles tenuiconiis Gravenhorst. Included and desig. by Perkins, 

 1962. The type-species is regarded as a synonym of G. teyiuipes (Gravenhorst). 

 chionops (Gravenhorst). N. Y., Pa., Md., Mich.; Japan; Europe. Townes (1970) stated that 

 chionops is Holarctic without mentioning specific localities outside Europe; these he 

 communicated to me personally and stated that he regards the European, Japanese, and 

 Nearctic specimens he has seen as belonging to three separate subspecies. ^

Genus HEDYLUS Foerster 



Hedylus Foerster, 1868. Naturh. Ver. Rheinlande, Verh. 25: 183. 



Type-species: Hedylus crassicoDiis Ashmead. By subsequent monotypy from 

 inclusion by Ashmead, 1899. 



This genus is transferred from the Endaseina where Townes (1970) placed it as a synonym of 

 Medophron. Although the type-species of Hedylus somewhat resembles Medophron species in 

 the structure of the head and ovipositor, it differs from Medophron species so greatly in wing 

 venation and petiolar structure that it seems illogical to suggest any close phyletic relationship
