Abstract
Lathrolestes is recorded from Nepal for the first time. Three new species are described and illustrated: L. roerichi sp. nov., L. lidae sp. nov., L. peisseli sp. nov. This is the first record of the tribe Perilissini from Nepal. The Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) fauna of Nepal is not known satisfactorily, although 150 species are known (Yu et al, 2005; Reshchikov, 2010a).. Only one species of the subfamily Ctenopelmatinae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) has been described recently from this country (Reshchikov, 2010a). While examining Ichneumonidae collected during the Canadian Expedition to Nepal in 1967 I came across these specimens which represent three new species of the genus Lathrolestes Forster, 1869 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae). This is the firstrecord of the tribe Perilissini from Nepal.
