Superfamily ICHNEUMONOIDEA 485 



Biology: Dasch, 1971. Ohio Jour. Sci. 71: 270-279 (overwintering sites preferred by 

 stenopneusticae found overwintering as adult females, particularly in Ohio). 



Tribe PHAEOGENINI 



The members of this tribe are parasites of microlepidoptera. Townes and Townes (1973) per- 

 sisted in suppressing the name Phaeogenini as a synonym of Alomyini. Because this seems in- 

 consistent with their recognition of a tribe Heterischnini, the Phaeogenini are here regarded as 

 tribally distinct from the Alomyini.
