 the doubt is for species?

Are you sure about genus?

Please give me (it could be in French) the definitive characters to ID Amblyteles sp. Why not Acroricnus ? I want to know. Smile

Merci beaucoup.

 Hello Jorge! ?

?Acroricnus is in Cryptinae, the shape of the petiole! ?

?Amblypygi, more than 20 characters to be checked! ?
?And in this precise case, it is risk of error with the Ichneumon kind whose males are impossible to separate! ?
?For Amblyteles armatorius, to check if there are spines behind the surface at the end of the thorax seen of back! FrownIf not, possible Diphyus palliatorius, gradatorius.....etc!?

 wow! Great1!!!

It has two conspicuous spines, even at unaided eye, in ventral-posterior thorax! (the two spines are in opposing sides. Not in the middle. Wink
So can we conclude that this is really Ambyteles armatorius? A female? But I don't see the ovopositor... ah... you said that this was a male... due the lack of ovipositor, right?


Let me know more about Ambyteles armatorius. Which is/are species Amblyteles armatorius parasites?

amblypygi? Frown ok. I know you wanted to say Amblyteles.

Cryptinae -- about this one:

shape of petiole for Ichneumoninae
http://bitkikorum...genel2.jpg

for cryptinae--
http://bitkikorum...ab.seg.jpg

it is almost the same... if I got it right, I think that in Ichneumoninae the petiole is more smaller and not stretched like in Cryptinae (now Gelinae I think...). Or is the way as the petiole appointed?

please I want to know! Smile

 i know now one part of my question: (please give info about the other questions. thanks!)


"A. armatorius is known as a parasitoid of moths in the family Noctuidae and has also been reported specifically as parasitising the caterpillars of the Emperor Moth (Saturnia pavonia) (Peigler, 1994)."

from "Peigler, R.S. (1994). Catalog of parasitoids of Saturniidae of the world. Journal of Research on the Lepidoptera 33: 1-121.
Accessible online at http://www.doyleg...33-001.pdf"


"53. Amblyteles armatorius (Forster)
Hosts: Saturnia pavonia
Distribution: Europe, including Britain
References: Thompson (1944: 535), Rougeot (1971: 107), Chinery (1975: pl. 38),
Pujade & Sarto (1986: 20).
Remarks: This wasp is black with broad yellow bands on the abdomen and legs. The
scutellum and tegulae are also yellow. It was figured in color by Chinery and Pujade
& Sarto."

 so many. Smile all moths I suppose.

And I suppose that the final conclusion is Amblyteles armatorius male. Smile

Unfortunately this book about hymenopters is NOT AVAILABLE TO SELL anymore (neither in net). Sad --- >> "The Hymenoptera. eds. Ian Gauld & Barry Bolton. 1988. ISBN 0-19-858521-7. Issued by the British Museum (Natural History)."
if anyone knows about this book let me know, please.


I also didn?t find these references (but for now, I would need the first):
H.Townes: The genera of Ichneumonidae, part 1. Memoirs Am. Ent. Institute nr. 11 1969. 300 pp.
Or Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects Vol vii. part2 (ai): Hymenoptera, Ichneumonoidea, Ichneumonidae, key to subfamilies and Ichneumoninae-1 by J.F. Perkins. 1959.


Thank you!

 crex--- the book is really expensive the first one. awkward and it is not by amazon.

Concerning the "Introduction to Hymenopter" the problem remains the same. Even Pemberley don?t have the book. Sad

 nobody knows about this book: Gauld, I.; Bolton, B. "The Hymenoptera" ? last edition.. the links that all gave here tell that there are no more editions and it is soldout. Sad I wonder if someone has this book. Perhaps it is interested in selling it... (dream, ok).
