* You use the keys that we sent on our Forum, entitled :

... Adaptation for the ♂ & ♀ (of France & Italy) of the subFamilies's Key contained in "The Genera of Ichneumonidae" of H. Townes ... ,
and you find the sub-Family Cryptinae

* You use the keys that we sent on our Forum, for determination of Genus Cryptus :

viewtopic.php?f=104&t=53990&hilit=+cryptinae
[Progress in the key , Couplets :
1 (1 Bulla) -> 13 (A5) -> 19 (dg > gk) -> 25-5 (L present & not faint ...) -> 28 (N << 1/2) -> 29 (Sternaulus = 1 -> Propodeum's Spiracles long)]
--> Genera Cryptus & Myrmeleonostenus (Cryptus in Schmiedeknecht )

* Determination of sp. bucculentus :
...[NOTA: Our photos of Thorax & Propodeum are identical for ♀ & ♂]

We use the key of Schmiedeknecht and we find this species.

But other sp. are unknown for this Author.
Then we use the key of Rossem (Van)

The sp. unknown are, in addition the species endemic Iberian, 2 sp. Europeans namely :

luctuosus :
- ♀ & ♂ : All Femora orange
subspinosus :
- ♀ : Ovipositor curved
- ♂ : Legs 3 with Basitarsus entirely black & Tarsomere 2 not entirely white

These characteristics are not those of our captures, of where the determination.
