In the first 40 pages, the general data on adult mortology and immature states of ichneumonides and, in more detail, trophic chains and the economic importance of Cryptini are indicated; the general directions in their biological evolution are distinguished and the peculiarities of the fauna of this tribe in Mexico are compared with the Nertic fauna. In the taxonomic part, keys for the subtribes, genera and 150 species were elaborated; 3 genera and 44 new species are described. For all the Mexican species mentioned, bibliography, synonyms, type data, materials examined and their distribution are included. It contains 221 illustrations and 214 bibliographic citations.
