Abstract

Abstract The Holarctic species of the genus Pygocryptus Roman (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) are revised. Two previously recognized species, P. grandis from Europe and P. echthroides from North America, are retained; four new species and three subspecies for P. echthroides are proposed. A diagnostic key and descriptions of the new species and subspecies are presented.
