Abstract

Characteristics of the cocoons, cephalic structures, spiracles, and skins of 97 species and 19 genera of the tribe Campoplegini (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Campopleginae) are described and illustrated and keys are given for identification of the genera and species. An additional five species and two genera that were described and illustrated in earlier papers (Finlayson 1967, 1969) are included in the keys, for a total of 102 species and 21 genera. Characteristics of final-instar larvae were found that support most of the generic entities defined on the basis of adult characteristics, and new relationships were revealed that may assist with taxonomic problems in the group.

Résumé

L'auteur présente la description illustrée des caractéristiques des cocons, structures céphaliques, stigmates et exuvies de 97 espèces et 19 genres de la tribu des Campoplegini (Hymenoptera : Ichneumonidae : Campopleginae), accompagnée des clés d'identification au genre et à l'espèce. Cinq espèces et deux genres dont la description illustrée avait été faite précédemment par l'auteur (Finlayson 1967, 1969) sont inclus dans les clés pour un total de 102 espèces et 21 genres. Le présent travail a permis de trouver des caractéres propres au dernier stade larvaire confirmant dans leur position la plupart des entités génériques dont la définition était basée sur des caractéres de l'adulte; l'étude a également permis d'établir de nouvelles relations qui sont de nature à faciliter la solution des problèmes taxonomiques propres à ce groupe.
