Horstmann, K. 2013. Revisions of Nearctic Tersilochinae IV. Genus Phradis För- ster (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae). Spixiana 36 (1): 67-92. The Nearctic species of the genus Phradis Förster are revised and described. A key is provided for eighteen species. Seventeen species are described as new: Phradis basalis, P. brevicauda, P. coriaceus, P. curvicauda, P. flavicoxa, P. flavipes, P. longicauda, P. minor, P. nigricoxa, P. nitidipleuris, P. nitidus, P. punctatus, P. rarus, P. striatus, P. sulcator, P. tenuicauda, and P. texanus.

Introduction Material and methods

Phradis Förster is a moderately large genus, which In general terminology follows Townes (1969: 36 ff.). was re-described by Horstmann (1971: 67 f.), Townes Some additional characters used for the differentiation (1971: 46) and Gauld (1984: 313). Described and of species are defined in the second part of the present undescribed species are known from almost all series of revisions (Horstmann 2010). Two indices are parts of the world, except from the Neotropic region defined: the ocellar index is the ratio of the shortest distance between the eye and the lateral ocellus to the (Khalaim et al. 2009: 107). The Nearctic species were longest diameter of the lateral ocellus; the malar space unnamed, until Khalaim (2002) described the species index is the ratio of the shortest distance between the P. kasparyani. In the present paper, eighteen species rim bordering the mandibular groove and the eye are treated, seventeen of them new. Many species (= malar space) to the basal width of a mandible. For are rarely collected, six species being known from the females, the number and the proportions of the only one specimen. Probably a considerable number flagellar segments and the length and the shape of the of species is still undetected. ovipositor are important diagnostic characters. Because Whereas in Europe some species of Phradis have in the males the antennae are much more uniform and been reared from species of Meligethes Stephens differences in male genitalia are unknown, the determi- (Coleoptera, Nitidulidae) (Horstmann 1971: 68, 1981: nation of males is difficult, and for half of the species 22), no host record is known from North America. males are unknown. Therefore, only a provisional key to the males of some species is given. Some Nearctic species have been collected on pines (Pinus spp.). Apparently all species are univoltine, The recent studies were supported by loans of material most of them with a flight period in spring or early by A. M. R. Bennett (Canadian National Collection of summer (exception: P. nitidus spec. nov.). , Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Ottawa, Canada), S. Schmidt (Zoologische Staatssammlung, München, Deutschland), S. R. Shaw ( Museum, University of Wyoming, Laramie, USA), D. B. Wahl (American Entomological Institute, Gainesville, USA)
