Diagnosis . This genus can be distinguished from other genera of Banchini by the following combination of character states: labrum less than 0.7 × as long as height of head, not developed into a long tongue; epicnemial carina present (Fig. 6); upper tooth of mandible about same length as lower tooth; lower part of occipital carina joining hypostomal carina above base of mandible; flagellum usually long and slender; laterotergites of T2 and T3 less than 0.3 × as wide as long; anterior end of vein cu-a of fore wing opposite or distad from posterior end of vein Rs+M ovipositor sheath 0.14 to 1.8 (usually ca. 0.3) × as long as hind tibia (after Townes, 1970). Distribution . Worldwide excluding the Australasian and Antarctic regions. Remarks . This genus is the largest genus of Banchini, containing about 168 species (Riedel, 2015; Sheng et al. , 2016; Yu et al ., 2016). : Published as part of Watanabe, Kyohei & Sheng, Mao-Ling, 2018, Taxonomic notes on Exetastes fukuchiyamanus Uchida, 1928 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Banchinae), with description of a new species from Japan and China, pp. 281-288 in Zootaxa 4399 (2) on page 282, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4399.2.11, http://zenodo.org/record/1206554 : {"references": ["Gravenhorst, J.
