Abstract

Melanichneumon dreisbachi was described by Heinrich (1962) on the basis of material from Maine and Michigan. No further records of this species have been published, even though Heinrich subsequently (1977) provided an exhaustive treatment of the Florida Ichneumoninae, but more recent collecting in the Gainesville area of north-central Florida has turned up 2 additional specimens.
