Contribution to the knowledge of Ichneumoidae (Hymenoptera) from southeastern Mexico

The Ichneumonidae family is the largest of all Hymenoptera (and possibly of all the fauna) since it contains more than 100,000 species distributed in almost all the terrestrial ecosystems of the world but especially in the temperate and humid tropical ones; in the Neotropical region the existence of...

Its contribution to the natural regulation of the populations of many other insects is extensive. In Applied Biological Control it has been used successfully to fight forest pests, fruit crops and some vegetables and extensive crops. The Mexican Republic has 914 identified species of ichneumonids. However, the estimate of the number of species present in our country is greater than 3,000 species. The Mexican southeast is a vast region with a great diversity of climates and vegetation types, which has favored the presence of many species of parasitic wasps. This work includes 342 morphospecies although only 110 have been identified; many of the non-determined ones can be new species, so the taxonomic work with this family requires more specialists and support to the research institutions. La familia Ichneumonidae es la más grande de todos los himenópteros (y posiblemente de toda la fauna) ya que contiene más de 100,000 especies distribuidas en casi todos los ecosistemas terrestres del mundo pero especialmente en los templados y tropicales húmedos; en la región Neotropical se estima la existencia de más de 35,000 especies. Su contribución a la regulación natural de las poblaciones de muchos otros insectos es extensa. En Control Biológico Aplicado se ha usado exitosamente para combatir plagas forestales, de frutales y de algunas hortalizas y cultivos extensivos. La República Mexicana cuenta con 914 especies identificadas de ichneumónidos. Sin embargo, la estimación del número de especies presentes en nuestro país es mayor de las 3,000 especies. El sureste mexicano es una vasta región con gran diversidad de climas y tipos de vegetación, lo que ha favorecido la presencia de muchas especies de avispas parasíticas. En este trabajo se incluyen 342 morfoespecies aunque solamente se han identificado 110; muchas de las no determinadas pueden ser nuevas especies, por lo que el trabajo taxonómico con esta familia requiere de más especialistas y apoyo a las instituciones de investigación.
