The European species of the genera Zatypota and Sinarachna (Hymeno- ptera: Ichneumonidae, Pimplinae, Polysphinctini)

Abstract

Zatypota picticollis (Thomson, 1888) was reared from the araneid spider Zilla diodia (Walckenaer, 1802), found in The Netherlands. Sinarachna anomala (Holmgren, 1860) is transferred to the genus Zatypota Foerster, 1869. Two new synonyms are presented: Sinarachna minor Kolarov, 1982 = Zatypota anomala (Holmgren, 1860) and Acrodactyla braconiformis Kolarov, 1990 = Acrodactyla carinator (Aubert, 1965). Ichneumon (recte Zatypota) aranearum Retzius, 1783 is considered to be a nomen dubium. An identification key for the European Sinarachna and Zatypota species is presented.
