Abstract

Zacremnops cressoni Cameron (Braconidae: Agathidinae), known previously from Central America, Mexico, and Texas, is cited for the 1st time from Florida. Zacremnops closely resembles Cremnops Foerster but differs by its black gaster, white hind tarsus, ecarinate frontal impressions, nearly parallel-sided 1st gastric tergite, and more elongate hind femur. Z. cressoni is adult mostly during summer. It inhabits woodlands but often occurs in more sunny and exposed situations than those preferred by most parasitic Hymenoptera.
