Genus PROTICHNEUMON Thomson 



Protichneumon Thomson, 1893. Opusc. Ent. 18: 1899. 



Type-species: Ichneumon fusorius Linnaeus. Desig. by Ashmead, 1900. 

 Protichneumon subg. Metopichneiimon Uchida, 1935. Insecta Matsumurana 10: 13. 



Type-species: Protichneumon {Metopichneumon) superomediae Uchida. Monotypic 

 and orig. desig. 



This is a moderate sized Holarctic and Oriental genus which is rather arbitrarily separated 

 from Ichneumon. The usual hosts are Sphingidae. 



Taxonomy: Townes, Momoi, and Townes, 1965. Amer. Ent. Inst., Mem. 5: 530-531 (syn.). 

 effigies Heinrich. Newfoundland (insular) w. to s. B. C, s. to Ga., Miss., Kans., and Colo. 



Protichneumon effigies Heinrich, 1961 (1960). Canad. Ent. Sup. 15: 26. 6, 9. 



Protichneumon sartoris Heinrich, 1971. Nat. Canad. 98: 961. 9. N. syn.; this synonymy is 

 based upon the comparison of 19 females of effigies from throughout much of the range 

 with a female from Ark. identified as sartoris by Mr. Heinrich through comparison with 

 the holotype. 

 grandis (BruUe). Que. w. to s. B. C, s. to Fla., Kans., N. Mex., and Oreg. Host: Dryocampa 

 rubicunda rubicunda (P.). Heinrich (1961) recognized three subspecies, all of which 

 were raised to species status by Heinrich (1971). The specimens in the U. S. Natl. 

 Museum collection show that variation of grandis throughout eastern North America 

 does not permit the recognition of well defined northern and southern subspecies, yet 

 alone species. Specimens also in the U. S. Natl. Museum collection from Colo., N. Mex., 

 Utah, and Oreg. seem to indicate that victoriae Heinrich cannot be recognized as a 

 distinct subspecies either.
