Çoruh, S. & Özbek, H., 2008, A faunistic and systematic study on Pimplinae (Hymenoptera Ichneumonidae) in Eastern and Northeastern parts of Turkey, Linzer biologische Beiträge 40 (1), pp. 419-462 : 420-421

Key to Tribes of Pimplinae

1 Mesonotum distinctly transversely rugose ( fig. 1a )............................................................2

- Mesonotum not rugose or weakly rugose over a small part of its surface...........................3

2 Abdominal tergites nearly always with distinct dorsolateral carinae originating near spiracles and running towards tergal apex; last abdominal tergite in females elongate, rounded apically ( fig. 1e ); in males elongate apically ( fig. 1b,c,f ); with or withour areolet; tarsal claws with a basal tooth ................................. Delomeristini

- Abdominal tergites without distinct dorsal carinae from spiracles to tergal apex; last abdominal tergite in females rodlike elongate apically ( fig. 1d ); with areolet; tarsal claws with or without a basal tooth ........................................................................ Rhyssini

3 Mesopleural suture with a slight angular curve at its-middle (fig. 2a); if a white ring on metatibiae then base of the latter white; nervellus intercepted at, above or below its middle..............................................................................................................4

- Mesopleural furrow straight without angular curve at its middle (fig. 2b); if there is a white ring on metatibiae then base and apex of the latter are infuscate; nervellus intercepted above its middle ................................................. Pimplini

4 Tarsomere V usually broadened, much broader than I ( fig. 32b ); occipital carina not interrupted dorsally; without areolet; ovipositor gradually tapered towards apex in lateral view ( fig. 32d ).................................................................................. Polysphinctini

- Tarsomere V usually not broadened, narrower than I or if broader, then the occipital carina interrupted dorsally; rarely without areolet; ovipositor with parallel dorsal and ventral sides in lateral view ( fig. 9 ).................................................. Ephialtini
