Subfamily Cremastinae Förster, 1869

Cremastinae is a smaller subfamily within Ichneumonidae , of which its species are easily recognised by their prominent hind and mid tibial spurs, which are inserted in separate sockets (BROAD et al., 2018). Cremastus spp. can be distinguished from the more common other genera by the absence of the closed areolet, a tooth on the hind femur and the more or less parallel ventral edges of the first sternite (Fig. 19 B).
