Abstract:
They are ecto- or endoparasitoids of other arthropods, especially of the larvae and pupae of beetles (Coleoptera), wasps, bees and ants (Hymenoptera) and of moths and pollen (Lepidoptera). Because of this they are a very important group as biological control of pest. The aim of this manuscript was to carry out an inventory of the Ichneumonidae Family (Insecta: Hymenoptera) related to its biogeography, bioecology, habitat, geographic distribution, taxonomy, life cycle, phenology and taxonomic and conceptual aspects of the Family, Subfamilies and Species. To this end, a bibliographic survey of Ichneumonidae was carried out in the years 1937 to 2021. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented at national and international scientific events, Doctoral Thesis and Master's Dissertation were considered. Data were also obtained from platforms such as: Academia.edu, Frontiers, Qeios, Pubmed, Biological Abstract, Publons, Dialnet, World, Wide Science, Springer, RefSeek, Microsoft Academic, Science and ERIC.
