Identification
Eremotylus can be distinguished from other ichneumonid by the combination of a complete, strongly curved areolet in the forewing and the absence of a glymma on the first tergite. The ovipositor is generally shorter than the hind tibia. These characters require examination of wing venation and abdominal structure under magnification.
