REVISION OF THE GENUS MACRONEURA WALKER IN AMERICA NORTH OF MEXICO (HYMENOPTERA, EUPELMIDAE)

The species of Macroneura Walker are revised for America north of Mexico. Seven species are recognized, of which M. camptoptera, M. cerasma, M. chrysosinamora, and M. tanyaris are described as new; M. meteori (Gahan) is removed from synonymy with M. epicaste (Walker) and accorded specific status. Eupelmus melanderi Brues is synonymized with Eupelmus dryorhizoxeni Ashmead and the taxa are reassigned to Eupelmus Dalman from Macroneura. Diagnostic features are given to distinguish females and males of Macroneura from members of other eupelmine genera; putative phylogenetic relationships of Macroneura are discussed, and a key is presented to distinguish females and known males of the North American species. © 1990, Entomological Society of Canada.
