DISCOVERY OF NEMERITIS HOLMGREN (HYMENOPTERA: ICHNEUMONIDAE) IN EASTERN NORTH AMERICA
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
In 1983, while sorting Campopleginae in the Canadian National Insect Collection, Biosystematics Research Centre, Ottawa, Ont., I discovered two females of a species of Nemeritis Holmgren. In North America this genus was previously known only from the west (Townes 1970) so it was surprising to see specimens collected in Maine (Sherman Mills, 24.VI–4.VII.1973, G. Heinrich). A survey of the genus showed that these specimens are indistinguishable from the European species N. lativentris Thompson. It is impossible to determine whether or not this is a recently established species as I have been unable to locate more specimens.
