Itoplectis viduata is a parasitoid wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, subfamily Pimplinae. The species has been documented as a pseudohyperparasitoid, utilizing cocoons of the spider wasp Homonotus sanguinolentus (Pompilidae) as hosts. Rearing records from the National Museums of Scotland indicate a broader host range beyond this single association. The species occurs across parts of Europe and has been recorded in western Canada.
