Moved
Moved from Braconid Wasps.
Luckily I haven't sent my braconids anywhere yet. Would you like to take a look at this one?

Revision
I just inserted the citation for the revision of the North American species on the Orthopelma Info page. I don't have a copy, and I don't know whether the males are of diagnostic value.

Thanks
I just requested a copy... any Massachusetts resident can request scans of articles that are in the Five College Depository. Pretty handy. The two specimens that emerged initially were both males, but I got a female on 4/27.

Ichneumonidae
Second recurrent (2m-cu) visible in photo. Presumably a male of Orthopelma. If spiracle of petiole is in front of middle, you should move to Orthopelma.
