Ichneumon dentatus Smith, 1874

( Figure 12 )

Taxonomic history. Heinrich (1937) transferred this species to Hoplismenus Gravenhorst, 1829 and Heinrich (1978) to Zanthojoppa Cameron, 1901a . Uchida (1939) synonymised Hoplismenus speciosus Uchida, 1926 with Ichneumon dentatus . Smith’s name is a primary homonym of Ichneumon dentatus Fabricius, 1779 so that Z. speciosa is the valid name.

Current taxonomy. Primary homonym, valid name: Zanthojoppa speciosa ( Uchida, 1926) ( Ichneumonidae : Ichneumoninae : Ichneumonini ).
