| description | The genus Priotomis (Townes, 1969, p. 292) was placed by its
author in the subtribe Lymeonina of the ichneumonid tribe Mesostenini.
While data provided by a study of the new species treated
in this article do not controvert that placement it is well to emphasize
that Priotomis shows a number of singularly aberrant characters
unparalleled among other genera of its subtribe. For example, the
presence of a series of teeth on the dorsal valve of the ovipositor tip
recalls the Baryceratina rather than the Lymeonina, whereas the
specialized, twisted mandibular apex is not found in any other mesostenine
genus. |
