ICHNEUMON-FLIES, PART 2: EPHIALTINAE 315 



20. Temple in profile about 0.4 as long as eye in profile; punctures on submedian 



part of face moderately dense, separated by about 0.8 their diameter; 

 tegula with its apical 0.3 to 0.8 ± brown or black, the base whitish. 



16. punicipes (Cresson) 



Temple in profile about 0.6 as long as eye in profile; punctures on submedian 



part of face rather sparse to very sparse, separated by about 1.0 to 3.0 



their diameter; tegula usually uniformly fulvous, brown, or blackish but 



sometimes whitish at base 21 



21. Median part of mesoscutum with rather sparse, fine punctures, the punctures 



separated by a little less than the length of the hairs; punctures on sub- 

 median part of face rather sparse, separated by about 1.4 their diameter. 



11. hesperus, new species 

 Median part of mesoscutum with very sparse punctures, the punctures sepa- 

 rated by about three times the length of the hairs; punctures on subme- 

 dian part of face very sparse, separated by about 2.5 their diameter. 



12. stricklandi, new species 



I. INSTIGATOR GROUP 



Front wing 5.5 to 15 mm. long; body rather slender; nervulus 

 usually briefly postfurcal; hind tibia without a pale submedian band; 

 propodeum rather long, often with weak sublateral longitudinal ridges, 

 its median longitudinal carinae often distinct on its basal 0.3 ±; 

 abdomen finely mat to subpolished, usually rather closely punctate; 

 first tergite rather long, with a rather prominent dorsal hump centered 

 just beyond the middle; epipleura very narrow throughout, all of 

 them more than 3 times as long as wide; upper valve of ovipositor 

 not or only weakly flattened apically and without distinct transverse 

 ridges. 



This group is predominantly Holarctic. It includes the four 

 Nearctic species below; the Mexican Pimpla viridescens Morley 1914 

 and P. thoracica Morley 1914; P. sedula Cameron 1886 from Panama; 

 the Palaearctic P. arctica Zetterstedt 1838, Ichneumon instigator 

 Fabricius 1793, and Pimpla luctuosa Smith 1874; the Himalayan 

 P. erebus Cameron 1899, P. flavipalpis Cameron 1899, P. indra 

 Cameron 1897, and P. laothoe Cameron 1897; the Celebes P. nigricolor 

 Tosquinet 1903; and some und escribed species. The species named 

 are all new combinations in the genus Coccygomimus. Pimpla nepe 

 Cameron 1897 and P. poesia Cameron 1899 are synonyms of Coccy- 

 gomimus laothoe, and Phyiodiaetoides megaera Morley 1913 is a 

 synonym of C. flavipalpis (new synonymies) .
