03E887DDCC54FFC2FF16FE6A37FBFA4D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Mnioes can be distinguished from all other genera of Atrophini by the combination of the following characters: (1) sculpture of the body, usually, granulate and matte; (2) outer surface of mandible, close to the base of upper tooth, convex and polished (Fig. 5 B); (3) clypeus basally convex, apically weakly sclerotized and, at least medially, concave (Figs 1 C, 2 C); (4) clypeal margin truncate to concave medially (Fig. 2 B); (5) frons weakly biconcave, granulate, without ornamentations; (6) flagellum, usually (except Mnioes iskay sp. nov.), centrally white- or yellow-banded; (7) scape apically truncated, about 60 – 75 o from transverse (Fig. 2 C); (8) submetapleural carina narrow, only slightly and evenly broadened anteriorly (Fig. 2 D); (9) propodeum (Fig. 1 D) without anterior transverse, lateral, and lateromedian longitudinal carinae, posterior transverse carina usually discernible as a vestige at middle (rarely more extensively developed), and pleural carina from absent to strong; (10) fore wing with veins 3 rs-m entirely absent, with 2 rs-m more than 2.0 times as long as abscissa of M between 2 rs-m and 2 m-cu, 2 m-cu usually with two bullae, bullae separated by a short length vein which often bears a stub of a spurious vein (rarely without this abscissa of 2 m-cu thus with a single long bulla); (11) hind wing with length of abscissa of Cu 1 between M and Cu-a 0.7 – 0.9 times as long as the combined lengths this vain and cu-a; (12) tergite I without lateromedian longitudinal carinae (Figs 1 D and 3 C); and (13) ovipositor sheath 1.6 – 3.1 times as long as hind tibia.	en	Alvarado, Mabel (2020): Ten new species of parasitoid wasps Mnioes Townes, 1946 (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Banchinae) described from Peru.

03E887DDCC54FFC2FF16FE6A37FBFA4D.taxon	discussion	Comments. No other South American country has records of Mnioes. The genus ranges from sea-level up to about 3000 meters, with the exception of Mnioes iskay sp. nov. recorded at about 4000 meters. The peak of diversity occurs between 700 and 1500 meters as found in Costa Rica (Ugalde-Gómez and Gauld 2002). Several species are widely distributed and commonly collected; although no hosts are known. Banchinae with known host associations are koinobiont endoparasitoids of Lepidoptera larvae (Quicke 2015; Broad et al. 2018,), and this is also expected to be the case for Mnioes. Sexual dimorphism is mostly evident in the coloration, males in several species are chromatically quite distinct from females, e. g., M. attenboroughi sp. nov. and M. tawa sp. nov. In species with similar coloration in both sexes, males generally present the white band starting more apically and covering fewer articles than in females. Additionally, males are usually much smaller than their respective females (Figs 1, 7, 8). This was also noticed for the Central American species (Ugalde-Gómez and Gauld 2002).	en	Alvarado, Mabel (2020): Ten new species of parasitoid wasps Mnioes Townes, 1946 (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Banchinae) described from Peru.

03E887DDCC57FFC6FF16FE3E308CFD00.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Mnioes attenboroughi sp. nov. can be distinguished from its female congeners by the following combination of traits: frontal orbit white, tegula black, coxae predominantly red, wings hyaline, ovipositor sheath length 2.3 – 2.5 × as long as metathoracic tibia; while the male can be distinguished due its mesoscutum entirely black and wings hyaline. M. attenboroughi sp. nov. resembles to M. tawa sp. nov. as both have females with mesosoma and metasoma extensively black and wings hyaline; they differ mainly the coloration of the coxae, trochanters and trochantellus predominantly red in M. attenboroughi sp. nov. (vs. predominantly black).	en	Alvarado, Mabel (2020): Ten new species of parasitoid wasps Mnioes Townes, 1946 (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Banchinae) described from Peru.

Mesosoma: Granulate-punctate and weakly polished; notaulus vestigial, weakly impressed anteriorly; subalar prominence low and weakly rounded. Propodeum granulate-punctate; evenly declivous from anterior margin; pleural carina distinct only basally; with a weak, narrow vestige of posterior transverse carina present centrally on an elevation. Fore wing with vein 1 m-cu with a ramellus; vein 2 m-cu weakly sinuate, with a two bullae, with abscissa and with a stub on spurious vein; 2 rs-m 2.3 × as long as abscissa of M between 2 rs-m and 2 m-cu. Hind wing with length of abscissa of Cu 1 between Cu 1 and 1 A 0.2 × as long as length of vein Cu 1 between M and Cu 1.

Metasomal tergites predominantly black; anterior and posterior margins of tergite I – II and anterior margin of tergite III off-white, tergites V – VII mid-posterior margin white. Ovipositor sheath black. Variation of female paratypes. Fore wing length 7.9 – 8.8 mm. They differ from the holotype in the following features: clypeus 1.9 – 2.1 × as wide as long; lateral ocellus separated from compound eye by about 1.0 – 1.2 × maximum ocellar diameter; distance between ocelli 1.0 – 1.1 × maximum ocellar diameter; antenna with 43 – 44 flagellomeres, ratio of length from third to fourth flagellomeres: 2.7 – 2.9: 2.7 – 2.8, subapical flagellomere 1.0 – 1.1 × as long as centrally broad; fore wing with vein 2 m-cu with or without a stub of spurious vein; tergite I 2.4 × as long as posteriorly wide; tergite II 1.3 – 1.6 × as long as posteriorly wide; antenna black with flagellomeres 7 or 9 – 17 dorsally white; and metathoracic coxa ventrally reddish. Within the coloration: antenna black with flagellomeres 7 or 9 – 17 dorsally white; metathoracic coxa, in some individuals, ventrally reddish. Male. Fore wing length 6.0 – 6.4 mm. The male individuals (Fig. 8 B) differ from the females in the following features: face 0.8 × as long as wide; lateral ocellus separated from compound eye by about 0.9 × maximum ocellar diameter; distance between ocelli 0.7 × maximum ocellar diameter; antenna with 41 – 42 flagellomeres, ratio of length from second to fourth flagellomeres: 3.5 – 3.6: 3.4 – 3.5: 3.4 – 3.5, subapical flagellomere 2.2 – 2.3 × as long as centrally broad; propodeum without pleural carina; fore wing with vein 1 m-cu without or with a small ramellus, vein 2 m-cu with one long bulla and without a stub on spurious vein, 2 rs-m 1.8 × as long as abscissa of M between 2 rs-m and 2 m-cu; hind wing with length of abscissa of Cu 1 between Cu 1 and 1 A 0.1 × as long as length of vein Cu 1 between M and Cu; and tergite I 2.0 × × as long as posteriorly wide; tergite II 1.3 × × as long as posteriorly wide. Colour (male): Head predominantly light yellow; frons centrally, vertex, gena, and occiput black; antenna predominantly black, scape and pedicel ventrally light yellow, flagellomeres black with flagellomeres 13 – 21 at leas dorsally white and with flagellomeres 15 – 17 or 15 – 20 completely white. Mesosoma with pronotum predominantly black but anterior margin of pronotum and postero-dorsal corner light yellow; mesoscutum black with reddish anterolateral mark; mesopleuron with anterior half dark brown, mesopleuron with posterior half, subalar prominence, dorsal most section of mesepisternum, tegula and humeral plate light yellow; metapleuron orange with a light-yellow spot; propodeum orange, centrally brown. Prothoracic leg with coxa white; trochanter dorsally, trochantellus, and femur light brown; tarsus brown.
