New Species and Records of <i>Lemophagus</i> Townes, 1965 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Campopleginae), from China

Campopleginae, the third largest subfamily of Ichneumonidae, has been one of the most investigated ichneumonids from the perspective of biological control. Despite their importance as potential biological control agents, species of campoplegine are among the most poorly studied insect groups. In thi...

description Campopleginae, the third largest subfamily of Ichneumonidae, has been one of the most investigated ichneumonids from the perspective of biological control. Despite their importance as potential biological control agents, species of campoplegine are among the most poorly studied insect groups. In this study, one new species of the genus <i>Lemophagus</i> Townes, 1965, <i>Lemophagus nanus</i> sp. nov., is described and illustrated. In addition, <i>L. curtus</i> and <i>L. pulcher</i> are recorded from China for the first time.
