Perilampus Latreille, 1809: 30. Type species: Cynips italica Fabricius, 1793; by subsequent designation of Westwood (1839: 67).

Diagnosis.

Face without a horn. Scrobes laterally not carinate (European species) (e.g., Figs 2A , 3A , 6A , 10A , 12A , 14A ). Head mostly without longitudinal striae (or these confined to upper face), sometimes with more or less distinct frontal keels (e.g., Figs 2A-C , 3B , 11B , 16B ). Pronotum without elevations (e.g., Figs 2C , 4C , 7C , 10C ). Prepectus variable but considerably longer than at least half the adjacent pronotal collar (e.g., Figs 2D , 4D , 8D , 11D , 14D , 18D ). Scutellum at most slightly produced over propodeum, its posterior margin sometimes with protruding bilobed process (e.g., Figs 2C , 8C , 14C ); marginal vein longer than postmarginal vein; petiole inconspicuous, sometimes with dorsal scale; ovipositor sheaths straight, not projecting, hidden under apical tergites.
