Abstract

A new species of Endasys Förster (Ichneumonidae, Cryptinae), E. gibbosus sp. nov., is described. Material was collected with Malaise traps functioning along one year in a dry forest in southeastern Mexico. The new species is similar to E. julianus Luhman, 1990 and E. subclavatus Say, 1835, but differs by having a strongly raised median lobe of mesonotum, with rugulose sculpturing and coarse dense punctures, metapleuron aerolate-rugose, area superomedia with strongly elevated longitudinal wrinkles, and malar space very reduced. A complement is provided to Luhman’s key to the Nearctic species of Endasys.
