178 Volume 17, No. 3-4, September-December, 2003, INSECTA MUNDICyclolabus Heinrich may be recognized by thefollowing combination of characters: clypeus convexin profile; propodeum with spiracle circular or nearlyso and without projecting cristae; petiole dorsallyflattened, wider than high; thyridia strongly trans-verse (each wider than the space between them).This genus is mostly Holarctic in distributionwith some overlap into the Oriental region and thenorthern Neotropics (Yu and Horstmann 1997). Inthe Nearctic it is known mainly from Canadian andTransition zone localities, except for C. carolinensisdescribed by Heinrich (1962) from western SouthCarolina. Heinrich does not include Cyclolabus in his1977 review of the Florida Ichneumoninae, but recent(1997) collecting with Malaise traps has shown it to becommon in hardwood forests of the northern Floridapeninsula.Material Examined. 10 females, 73 males. FLOR-IDA, Clay Co., Goldhead Branch St. Pk., MalaiseTrap [Florida State Collection of Arthropods].Habitat. Moist hardwood forest along brook in ra-vine.Phaenology. Like many other Florida ichneumonidsthis species reaches peak abundance in early spring(IV) and becomes very rare in summer: 2m in II; 1f,19m in III; 6f, 26m in IV; 2f, 18m in V; 4m in VI; 1f,2m in VII; 1m in VIII; 1m in X.Hosts. Heinrich (1962) mentions several Canadianspecies of Cyclolabus that were reared from Acasisand Eupithecia (Lepidoptera: Geometridae).Acknowledgments. Drs. Lionel A. Stange and Micha-el C. Thomas facilitated museum and fieldwork. TheFlorida Division of Parks and Recreation issued col-lecting permits.Literature citedHeinrich, G.H. 1962.
