First records of Perithous Holmgren (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae) and Neoxorides Clément (Poemeniinae) from Mexico

Mexican genera and species of the Camptotypus genus-group are reviewed. Three genera, Clydonium Townes with four species, Odontopimpla Cameron with one species and Zonopimpla Ashmead with seven species, are recorded from Mexico. Five species, Clydonium porteri Khalaim, sp. nov., Zonopimpla malevola Khalaim, sp. nov., Z. munifica Khalaim & Ruíz-Cancino, sp. nov., Z. nutabilis Khalaim, sp. nov. and Z. puebla Khalaim & Ruíz-Cancino, sp. nov., are described as new to science, and four species, Clydonium cabrerai Gauld, C. garitai Gauld, Zonopimpla armandoi Gauld et al. and Z. lorraineae Gauld et al., are recorded from Mexico for the first time. Males of Clydonium quintanillai Gauld and Zonopimpla armandoi Gauld et al. are recorded and described for the first time. The number of known Mexican species of the Camptotypus genus-group is raised from 3 to 12, or four times. Identification keys to genera and species of Clydonium and Zonopimpla occurring in Mexico are provided. Additional material from Central America was examined. From this material, Clydonium zamoranensis Khalaim, sp. nov. is described from Honduras, and Zonopimpla atriceps (Cresson), Z. humbertoi Gauld et al., Z. lorraineae Gauld et al. and Z. lilae Gauld are recorded for the first time from Panama.

Mexican species of nine genera of the Polysphincta genus-group (Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae) are reviewed: Acrotaphus Townes (four species), Dreisbachia Townes (one species), Eruga Townes (four species), Flacopimpla Gauld (three species), Hymenoepimecis Viereck (two species), Oxyrrhexis Förster (one species), Polysphincta Grav. (seven species), Schizopyga Grav. (one species) and Zatypota Förster (four species). Two new species, Polysphincta sirena Khalaim, sp. nov. and P. xena Khalaim, sp. nov., are described and Eruga yehi Gauld, 1991 is found to be a junior synonym of E. lineata Townes, 1960 (syn. nov.). Two species, Schizopyga anseli Fernández-Triana, 2007 from Cuba and S. moreirae Loffredo & Penteado-Dias, 2008 from Brazil, are transferred to the genus Dreisbachia (comb. nov.). Three genera, Hymenoepimecis, Oxyrrhexis and Schizopyga, and ten species, Acrotaphus wiltii (Cresson), Eruga rufa Townes, E. straussi Gauld, Flacopimpla nigriceps (Walsh), Hymenoepimecis robertsae Gauld, H. tedfordi Gauld, Oxyrrhexis carbonator (Grav.), Polysphincta albipes Cresson, P. gutfreundi Gauld, Schizopyga circulator pulchra Walley and Zatypota crassipes Townes, are recorded for the first time from Mexico. Moreover, Dreisbachia avivae Gauld, Polysphincta purcelli Gauld, Zatypota alborhombarta (Davis) and Z. petronae Gauld are newly recorded from Guatemala, and D. avivae from USA. The male of Flacopimpla kasparyani Khalaim & Ruíz-Cancino is recorded for the first time. Identification keys to the species occurring in Mexico are provided.
