Limonethe

Limonethe is a genus of ichneumon wasps in the family Ichneumonidae. There are about five described species in Limonethe.[1][2][3][4][5] They can be distinguished from similar genera based on the nearly square-shaped areolet and the large and dense punctures on the post-petiole. Many also have infuscated wings, a red abdomen, black head and mesosoma with narrow white markings along the inner eye margins. Limonethe occurs in the New World from Canada to Argentina.
