On the genus Sericopimpla Kriechbaumer, 1895 (Ichneumonidae, Pimplinae) in the Afrotropics, with the description of a new species

Sericopimpla Kriechbaumer, 1895 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Pimplinae) is a moderately large Darwin wasp genus distributed mostly in the Paleotropics and Australasian region. Here, we describe a new Afrotropical species of the genus, S. kibalensis sp. nov., and provide notes on the intraspecific variation of the other known Afrotropical species: S. sericata (Kriechbaumer, 1895). We record the genus for the first time from Uganda, based on specimens collected with Malaise traps in Kibale National Park.
