description
(Figure 15) Taxonomic history. Uchida (1926) synonymised Ichneumon yumyum Kriechbaumer, 1895, described based on a specimen from Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Honshû, Japan, with I. generosus Smith, 1874, and I. generosus Smith had been used as a valid name for a long time. However, the species name ‘ Ichneumon generosus ’ is preoccupied by Olivier (1792). Current taxonomy. Primary homonym, valid name: Ichneumon yumyum Kriechbaumer, 1895 (Ichneumonidae: Ichneumoninae: Ichneumonini).
