03EFE241FF90E14639CDA2ABFE1A85FE.taxon	discussion	Remarks. In Japan, Dimophora can be easily distinguished from other genera of Cremastinae by having areolet on fore wing. Dasch (1979) stated that “ [propodeum with] lateral longitudinal carinae more or less complete between the transverse carinae ”, however, posterior half of the carinae (lateral longitudinal carina in area dentipara) is missing in D. parva (Fig. 31).	en	Omatsu, Yuji, Kazuhiko Konishi (2023): Revision of the genus Dimophora Förster (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Cremastinae) from Japan.

However, D. nigra is different from D. nitens in the following character states, OOL 0.8 – 1.2 times as long as OD (Figs 10, 13), hind leg dark brown, metasoma black, T 1 1.5 – 1.7 times as long as T 2, and ovipositor length 2.1 mm and 1.9 – 2.0 times as hind 1 st tarsomere length (Figs 12, 15). While in D. nitens, OOL is 1.6 times as long as OD (Figs 36, 37), hind legs is yellowish brown, metasoma is reddish brown, T 1 is 2.4 times as long as T 2, ovipositor is 3.8 mm long and 3.1 times as long as hind 1 st tarsomere (Fig. 38). And this species can be distinguished from D. japonica by the positional relationship between tentorial pit and lower margin of eye (Figs 2, 5, 11, 14), the coloration of female antenna (Figs 3, 12), the density of punctures on scutellum and area superomedia (Figs 9,18) and the strength of spines on penis valve (Figs 21,24).	en	Omatsu, Yuji, Kazuhiko Konishi (2023): Revision of the genus Dimophora Förster (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Cremastinae) from Japan.
