A new ichneumonid genus (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Ctenopelmatinae) from the south of Russian Far East

D.R. Kasparyan

Abstract. A new genus and species, Petiolon cephalotes gen. et sp. nov., are described in the tribe Pionini (Ichneumonidae: Ctenopelmatinae) from Primorsky Territory of Russia. The new genus differs from other genera of the tribe by its unusually long, narrow and almost straight first metasomal segment without glymmae, very broad head which is 1.7 times as wide as mesoscutum (measured between tegulae), and unusually thick ovipositor with very thin lower valves in their apical 0.25. The latter character is typical for the Pionini.
