Taxonomic Note
The provided context discusses Pimpla sanguinipes (with erythropus), a related with complex taxonomic history involving potential elevation of subspecies to species rank. However, this information does not apply to Pimpla punicipes specifically. The two species are distinct: P. punicipes was described by Cresson in 1874, while P. sanguinipes has different authorship and distribution (western North America from Idaho to British Columbia and southern California). The detailed records and morphological descriptions in the source material refer to P. sanguinipes, not P. punicipes.
