ATTENTION : This key must be revised, because Enicospilus must be redefined
================================
It is a question here of differentiating the genera of Ichneumonidae of France & Italia, which have :
The areolet of the right forewing is open on the left and the abdomen compressed (Its segments 3 & 4 deeper than wide)
They belong exclusively at Subfamilies :
- Ophioninae (all genera)
- Anomalinae (Anomalon & Gravenhorstia)
- Campopleginae (Hellwigia restored today in the Ophioninae)
In general they all are almost mainly of orange color, of where the difficulty of differentiating them.
We seldom captured these Ichneumonidae, because they are often crepuscular or nocturnal (in particular the Ophioninae).
Thus I have only the photos of :
- 1 Ophion sp.
- 1 Eremotylus sp.
- Hellwigia obscura that I already sent on this forum, see viewtopic.php?f=104&t=29074
One will find in addition on this forum : Enicospilus sp. , see viewtopic.php?f=176&t=28380&p=158025&hilit=enicospilus#p158025
On the Net, I did not find photo clearly showing the wings of Anomalon, Gravenhorstia, Hellwigiella or Stauropoctonus.
