Ilari Eerikki Sääksjärvi

Charles Porter worked with Mesostenus in South America (and also with many other cryptine genera). I can scan you some keys if you still need them.

John Alexander Pulgarin Diaz

Thank you Ilari for you message. The topic was solved some time ago, we got the publication, and some others, from :

https://siris-libraries.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?profile=liball

https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/

at the end a publication was produced: A new species of Mesostenus Gravenhorst (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Cryptinae) from Colombia

Best regards!

Excellent! :-) Cryptines are extremely species rich in the Neotropical area. We have now in press a revision of Lissaspis. This might interest you. I will send you a copy when it is published.

Dear Ilari, in the project "control of Hypsipyla grandella" (Lep.: Pyralidae) we found some ichneumonids and possible other parasitoids that could be of your interest. The project is still running and some other individuals and species could be found. If you are interested we could talk about it.
