Phygadeuontinae

Glyphicnemis profligator

HYMENOPTERA > APOCRITA | Parasitica > Ichneumonidae > Phygadeuontinae

Both of the individuals in the following photos were identified as being Glyphicnemis sp., with strong indications that they are very likely Glyphicnemis profligator, a species that was formally listed under Cryptinae.

Phygadeuontinae is now our largest ichneumonid subfamily with 392 recognised species in 59 genera although, surprisingly, with no separation into tribes.
