| Summary: | Ichneumonids are important parasitoid wasps in the population regulation of other insects and spiders in nature. In Mexico, 1 301 species of the family Ichneumonidae have been recorded, however, in some Mexican states as Campeche, they have been poorly studied. The objective of this study was to to establish new records of ichneumonid species captured in Escárcega, Campeche. Specimens were captured from May 6th to 20th of 2014, by using two Malaise traps, in the Wildlife Management and Conservation Unit (UMA) “Casados Ranch”. Taxonomical determination was done at the Insects Museum of the Faculty of Engineering and Sciences from the Autonomous University of Tamaulipas; the identified organisms were deposited in the Insects Collection of the Autonomous University of Campeche in Escarcega. Ten subfamilies, 17 genera and 10 species were determined; from them 7 subfamilies, 16 genera (excluding Eiphosoma) and 10 species are new records for Campeche, increasing the knowledge of the species of Ichneumonidae in that region.
