The present version simplifies the previous versions, in particular
Cratichneumon s.l. is shared in genera s.s.,
But the difficulty using the couplet
18 remains
------------------------- The works of
Berthoumieu,
Constantineanu,
Schmiedeknecht &
Valemberg 1983 are quoted in
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=47260- It is necessary to add :
Hilpert 1992 : in "Entomofauna - supplement 6", Zur Systematic der Gattung Ichneumon ... - 389 p.
Riedel 2012 : in "Linzer Biologische Beiträge", Revision ... Coelichneumon ... - p.1477/1611
Valemberg 2010 : in "Bull. SE du N. de la France", ... Genera Ichneumonologica ... Ichneumoninae

An OXYPYGI is characterized in :
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=47043-------------
In this last key, the genera s.l. are the ones quoted exclusively by
Constantineanu.
For this author, a number of synonymic species (for
Taxapad) are placed in different genera (often
Cratichneumon) !
I took into account it in my key (although this does not appear explicitly).
--------
In the OXYPYGI, I ignored
Hoplismenus and some species of other genera (today in PLATYURI).

perspicua--------------
In the next 1 or 2 messages, I hope to give the keys of the genera containing only few species.
If I can finalize the keys for other genera, they will be the object of future messages.
However the
Ichneumons s.s. &
Coelichneumons s.s. will not be treated, it will be necessary to you refer to the works of
Hilpert &
Riedel quoted at the beginning of this message.

Before the key itself, I add the photos of 3 OXYPYGI ♀ .
