Its territory includes part of the Nearctic Region and part of the Neotropical Region, where floristic and faunal components of both regions occur. Most of the main plant communities of the American Continent are present, as well as many groups of animal species with northern and southern affinities. Therefore, our country occupies one of the first 10 places in the world in relation to plant and animal diversity. The scientific study of the Mexican entomofauna has been carried out for more than a century, especially in some groups of butterflies and beetles. For its part, the study of parasitic wasps (Order Hymenoptera) has not been adequate, due to its small size and the large number and similarity of its species: there is no estimate of the total number of Hymenoptera species (wasps, ants, Mexican bees) but it is possible that they are more than 10,000. The Ichneumonidae family was formally studied in Mexico in the nineteen-seventies by Cresson, who described 307 new species. Subsequently, Cameron, Dasch and Gauld described many more. An important reference is that of Townes and Townes (1966), who included 535 species from Mexico in their Catalog of Neotropical Ichneumonidae. From the summer of 1981, the author of this work began to study the ichneumonids of Tamaulipas and other states of the country. La República Mexicana se encuentra en un sitio privilegiado. Su territorio comprende parte de la Región Neártica y parte de la Región Neotropical, en donde ocurren componentes florísticos y faunísticos de ambas regiones. La mayoría de las comunidades vegetales principales del Continente Americano están presentes, así como muchos grupos de especies animales con afinidades septentrionales y meridionales. Por tanto, nuestro país ocupa uno de los primeros 10 lugares en el mundo en relación con la diversidad vegetal y animal. El estudio científico de la entomofauna mexicana se ha efectuado desde hace más de un siglo, especialmente en algunos grupos de mariposas y escarabajos. Por su parte, el estudio de las avispas parasíticas (Orden Hymenoptera) no ha sido el adecuado, debido a su pequeño tamaño y a la gran cantidad y semejanza de sus especies: no existe una estimación del total de especies de himenópteros (avispas, hormigas, abejas) mexicanos pero es posible que sean más de 10,000. La familia Ichneumonidae se empezó a estudiar formalmente en México en la década de los setentas del siglo XIX por Cresson, quien describió 307 especies nuevas. Posteriormente, Cameron, Dasch y Gauld describieron muchas más. Una referencia importante es la de Townes y Townes (1966), quienes incluyeron 535 especies de México en su Catálogo de Ichneumonidae Neotropicales. A partir del verano de 1981, el autor de esta obra empezó a estudiar los ichneumónidos de Tamaulipas y de otros estados del país.   Libros UAT Libros UAT 2018-12-05 Libro Digital (DA) https://libros.uat.edu.mx/index.php/librosuat/catalog/book/66 978-607-8015-05-4 Libros UAT; Libros UAT;
