Superfamily ICHNEUMONOIDEA 627 



Type-species: Trayiosema bicolor Szepligeti. Monotypic. Szepligeti (1911) applied the 

 name Tranosema to tiiree species, but two of them were placed in Tranoseiua 

 with a query; therefore Zatranosema is monotypic.

Type-species: Mesoleptus porrectus Cresson. Monotypic and orig. desig. 



This very large genus has a worldwide distribution. The hosts are principally microlepidoptera 

 which feed in concealment (such as in leaf rolls, cases, buds, etc.). As with most Campoplegini, 

 some Campoplex species apparently kill their hosts while the latter are in the larval stage and 

 spin a cocoon after emerging from the host, but in an undetermined proportion of Campoplex 

 species the cocoon is spun inside the pupal shell of the host. The latter is also the case for some 

 (but definitely not all) species of Venturia. Dr. Klaus Horstmann is preparing a revision of the 

 western Palearctic species of Campoplex.

 Campoplex by Dusona minuta (Holmgren), 1856; because of the homonymy, I had 

 intended that N. minuta be newly suppressed here as a synonym of brachyurus even 

 though I have seen only four specimens (including the two holotypes) and do not feel 

 absoultely certain about the correctness of the synonymy. Because of a 

 misunderstanding, the synonymy was published by Finlayson (1975).

 Townes (1945) and Barron (1975) have incorrectly applied the name hyalinus 

 (Provancher) to this species, contrary to the valid lectotype selection of Gahan and 

 Rohwer (1918). See the discussion under Synetaeris hyalina (Provancher).
