Zatypota (Ichneumonidae) species key

Hey everyone, I have a Zatypota specimen I would like to attempt to key out. It was collected from a pupa it spun in the web of a Parasteatoda tepidariorum. I was hoping someone might be able to send me a species key for that. If anyone knows Ross Hill, I was hoping to ask him, but couldn't find any of his contact info. Feel free to email me at joseph92@vt.edu

Use the key a few pages after this. There may be more up to date keys, but this should get you started.

If you have troubles with that key you could contact David Wahl with the AEI, he's helped me out in the past.
