Corrections

A recently published paper on Norwegian Ichneumonidae ( Hansen et al. 2010) , based on our identifications of the specimens deposited at ZMUN, was prepared for publication without our participation. Some corrections are given below.

Hyperacmus crassicornis (Gravenhorst, 1829) . This species is reported twice within the subfamily Orthocentrinae , in Helictini and in Orthocentrini, with different material and distribution listed ( Hansen et al. 2010). According to the Taxapad ( Yu et al. 2005) its distribution in Nordic countries includes Finland, Sweden, Latvia and Lithuania. Currently, Hyperacmus Holmgren, 1858 is treated as a member of the Cylloceriinae ( Quicke et al. 2009).

Ephialtes spatulatus (Townes, 1960) . The name listed by Hansen et al. (2010; 183) is a junior synonym. The valid name for this species is E. duplicauda Heinrich, 1949 ( Horstmann 2008).

Tribe Polysphinctini (Pimplinae) . The tribe name Polysphinctini Hellén, 1915 used by Hansen et al. (2010; 184) is currently treated as a junior synonym of Ephialtini Hellén, 1915 ( Wahl & Gauld 1998). An informal Polysphincta genusgroup is recognized within Ephialtini ( Wahl & Gauld 1998).

Polysphincta nielseni (Roman, 1923) . This name was listed by Hansen et al. (2010; 184), but the species has been transferred to the genus Reclinervellus He et Ye, 1998 ( Gauld & Dubois 2006). The valid combination is Reclinervellus nielseni (Roman, 1923) .

Sinarachna anomala (Holmgren, 1860) . The name was listed by Hansen et al. (2010; 184), but the species has been transferred to the genus Zatypota Förster, 1869 ( Zwakhals 2006, Gauld & Dubois 2006). The valid combination for this species is Zatypota anomala (Holmgren, 1860) .

Zapedias exornatus (Gravenhorst, 1829) . This species was listed by Hansen et al. (2010; 184). However, Zapedias Förster, 1869 was synonymized with Eclytus Holmgren,1857 ( Townes et al. 1965) and is currently treated as a subgenus of Eclytus ( Kasparyan & Tolkanitz 1999) . The valid combination for this species is Eclytus (Zapedias) exornatus (Gravenhorst, 1829) .

Labroctonus westringi (Holmgren, 1857) . This species was listed by Hansen et al. (2010; 185). However, Labroctonus Förster, 1869 is currently treated as a subgenus of Polyblastus Hartig, 1837 ( Townes & Townes 1949). The valid combination for this species is Polyblastus (Labroctonus) westringi Holmgren, 1857 .

Smicroplectrus .Both species of Smicroplectrus reported by Hansen et al. (2010; 185), namely S. modestus Kasparyan, 1976 and S. paulipecten Kasparyan, 1990 , are misidentifications, and in fact represent S. bohemani (Holmgren, 1857)

already known for Norway.
