Superfamily ICHNEUMONOIDEA 659 



one not indigenous), but several years ago I received specimens of one or two additional species. 

 The number of Palearctic species appears to be somewhat smaller. The small amount of 

 Neotropic material I have seen included four species. 



Most species normally parasitize only macrolepidoptera which do not conceal themselves when 

 feeding. Many of the new host records which are given here are from specimens deposited in the 

 Canadian National Collection by the Canadian Forest Insect Survey. 



Taxonomy: Finlayson, 1975. Ent. Soc. Canada, Mem. 94: 56-62 (final-instar larvae). 



Morphology: Finlayson, 1964. Canad. Ent. 96: 1155-1158 (caudal appendages of some 



final-instar larvae). 

 bicingulata bicingulata (Gravenhorst). Newfoundland (Labrador), s.w. Alta., w. N. W. T., 



Yukon, n.w. B. C, interior Alaska; n.w. Asia (U. S. S. R.), Europe. Specimens agreeing in 

 coloration with this subspecies also occur in southern B. C. (as do intermediate 

 specimens), but because they are not the preponderant form there, southern B. C. is 

 treated as being within the range of the subspecies bicingulatus vemalis (Viereck). An 

 undescribed subspecies is known from Colo., N. Mex., and Ariz., and bicingulata 

 nipponensis Momoi is known from Japan.

Ala., e. Nebr., s. Sask., s.e. Alta., and s. Calif. Ecology: The only rearings have been from 

 hosts (mostly Noctuidae) feeding on trees, but it is presumed that these rearings were 

 from ecotones between forest and open areas; the habitat of b. vemalis appears to tend 

 more toward the latter. The fact that b. vemalis is by far our most commonly collected 

 form of Phobocampe appears to relate in part to the fact that it occurs in open weedy 

 or grassy areas. Host: Anomogyna sp., Lithophane sp., Palthis angulalis (Hbn.), 

 Syngrapha rectangula nargenta (Ottol.), Ichthyiira sp., Eupithecia fletcherata Tay.

 host for clisiocampae.
