Revision of Genus Enclisis Townes and description of two new species (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)

Abstract

Two new species of Enclisis Townes, 1970, from Spain and Balkan Region are described and illustrated: E. castellana sp.n. and E. balcanica sp.n. Females of the new species are distinguished between, and from the closest species E. ornaticeps, by microsculpture of first lateral area of propodeum and mesopleurum, head features and body colour. Male of E. balcanica is distinguished from the closest species E. infernator and E. schwarzi by its head, less transversal, and for a longer second metasomal tergite. Male of E. castellana is separated from E. ruficeps by its microsculpture on mesopleurum and mesonotum, always on shiny background, and for the position of subdiscoideus, which reach the postnervulus in the middle or above the centre. Furthermore, data on phenology of E. castellana and a new illustrated key for the Enclisis species, excluding E. nigricoxis and E. ruficoxis, is provided. The species E. alpicola, E. ornaticeps and E. macilenta are recorded for the first time for Bulgarian fauna. E. infernator is first record for Bulgaria and Spain.
