A contribution to the knowledge of ichneumon flies of the tribe Cryptini (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Cryptinae) from Mexico
D.R. Kasparyan
Abstract. This article is addendum to the revision “Cryptini de México” (Kasparyan & Ruíz Cancino, 2005, 2008a). New data on ichneumon flies of the tribe Cryptini are given mainly on material from “Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México” collected in 2007–2009. Five new species, Debilos nigriceps sp. nov., Diapetimorpha zaldivari sp. nov., Lymeon albifemur sp. nov., L. clebschi sp. nov. and Whymperia oaxaca sp. nov., are described from Oaxaca State in southern Mexico. Acerastes tarsoleucus (Cameron, 1886) is recorded from Mexico for the first time, and female of this species is described for the first time. First representative of the Neotropical genus Debilos Townes, 1966 is described in Mexican fauna. New data on distribution in Mexico of some cryptine species are given.
