Abstract

The world species of Zambion Kasparyan (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Tryphoninae) are revised including re-descriptions of Z. monodon Kasparyan and Z. hirtum Delobel. Five new species are described: Z. kasparyani sp. n., Z. rogeri sp. n., Z. eileenae sp. n., Z. wahli sp. n. and Z. broadi sp. n. A key to species is provided. The genus is endemic to Africa (Angola to Kenya) and is one of only three genera of the tribe Tryphonini recorded from the Afrotropical region.
