Superfamily ICHNEUMONOIDEA 507 



consequently seems evident that his usage of pectus is essentially synonymous with 

 mesosternum. In his statement that the pectus of pectoralis is "black with a large

SUBTRIBE AMBLYTELESINA 



All available evidence seems to indicate that the females of species in this subtribe oviposit 

 into the host larva rather than the pupa. In some of the genera, inseminated adult females are 

 apparently the only overwintering life stage.
