Diagnosis
Species of Enicospilus can be distinguished from other Ophioninae by the following characters: fore wing discosubmarginal cell usually with extensive glabrous area (referred to as a ʻfenestraʼ), often with one or more sclerites, and sometimes with a ʻquadraʼ in the middle of the fenestra ( Fig. 1 View Fig ), of more or less different texture from the outer margins; mandibles apically more or less tapered and slightly to strongly twisted; inner surface of fore tibial spur without membranous flange. Species of Enicospilu s can be confused with the genus Dicamptus Szépligeti, 1905 and some species of Leptophion Cameron, 1901 because they share the characteristic fore wing fenestra and sclerites, but they can easily be distinguished by the weakly to strongly tapered and twisted mandible (mandible very weakly tapered and never strongly twisted in Dicamptus and Leptophion ).
