Key to subtribes of Ichneumonini

1 Apex of abdomen of females amblypygous; gastrocoeli only just impressed, thyridia absent or indistinct. (Areolet pentagonal with wide base; middle field of postpetiolus aciculate or sometimes wrinkled; sternites with tendency to strong sclerotization of majority of genera, longitudinal plica usually expressed only on 2nd or 2-3rd sternites, sometimes absent; hypopygium of males often with projected apex; clypeus always normal) ........................................................................................... Amblytelina (VIERECK)

- Apex of abdomen of females oxypygous or semiablypygous or gastrocoeli developed and thyridia distinct.............................................................................................................2

2 Genae from front and temples from above strongly and almost straightly narrowed; mandibles thin, sharply narrowed behind base with two slight teeth at apex; scutellum very high elevated above postscutellum; apophysises usually strongly developed; legs usually very long and thin...................................................................................................3

- Combination of characters diverse; if scutellum elevated, then mandibles or normal, or sickle-shaped, with atrophied lower tooth in case of abdomen amblypygous.....................4

3 Clypeus distinctly convex in longitudinal and cross directions; scutellum laterally not carinated, or carinated indistinctly by low carinae; areolet pentagonal, with wide base; abdomen of females usually oxypygous, rarely amblypygous ( Amblysmenus HEINRICH ) .... ....................................................................................................... Hoplismenina HEINRICH

- Clypeus flat or very slightly convex; scutellum laterally carinated by high, leaf-like broadened carinae; areolet quadrangular to petiolate; abdomen of females always oxypygous ....................................................................................... Aethioplitina HEINRICH

4 Postpetiolus regularly longitudinally striated; gastrocoeli distinct, sometimes deeply impressed, sometimes very large and transverse; postpetiolus and usually tergite 2 and subsequent tergites strongly sculptured, often medially striated or roughly wrinklypunctured (Areolet usually pentagonal with wide base; thyridia distinct, sometimes very strongly expressed) ................................................................ Ichneumonina HEINRICH

- Postpetiolus not regularly longitudinally striated (with rare exception of Crytea CAMERON ), with delicate punctures, coriaceous or irregularly wrinkled structure; gastrocoeli, with some exceptions, mainly at males, slightly or only just impressed, thyridia almost always distinct, but usually small................... Cratichneumonina HEINRICH
