European Journal of Taxonomy 1007: 1-23, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2025.1007.2997, URL: https://europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/2997/13477
D7698781ED56ED5BEDDCFC44036BFB45.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis This genus is identified as belonging to the Amblyteles genus-group (previous Amblytelina subtribe) based on the key of Tereshkin (2009) and can be separated from other Ichneumoninae tribes based on the following characters: face and clypeus divided by a groove (Fig. 3 B); clypeus flat (Fig. 3 B, D); propodeum with horizontal and declivous surfaces, the apex of the area dentipara distant from the base of the hind coxa (Figs 2 A, 3 A); propodeal spiracle linear (Fig. 3 A); areolet pentagonal (Fig. 4 A); female metasomal apex amblypygous (Fig. 2); thyridium indistinct (Figs 3 G, 5 D); male abdominal sternum 9 usually medially convex on the apical margin (Fig. 5 E). Montichneumon gen. nov. can be diagnosed from other genera of the Amblyteles genus-group in having the following combination of characters: flagellum lacking white annulus or semi-annulus (Fig. 2); malar space long in anterior view (Fig. 3 B); mandible long and bidentate, evenly narrowed to apex with upper tooth longer than lower tooth (Fig. 4 B); second segment of maxillary palps enlarged (Fig. 3 D); scutellum weakly convex without lateral carina (Fig. 3 H); propodeum at apex of area dentipara with small teeth, lacking strong teeth or apophysis (Fig. 3 A); area basalis of propodeum lacking medial tubercle (Figs 3 F, 5 C); anterior transverse carina of propodeum present medially and absent laterally (Figs 3 F, 5 C); postpetiole of T 1 flat and smooth with sparse punctures, lacking striae or rugae (Figs 3 A, G, 5 D); gastrocoelus long and narrow, shallowly impressed, thyridium indistinct (Figs 3 G, 5 D); T 7 normal, not bending downwards laterally (Fig. 2 B); metasomal sternites weakly sclerotized, with S 2 and S 3 unsclerotized with fold medially (Fig. 4 D); male abdominal sternum 9 lacking medial process (Fig. 5 E). This genus is morphologically similar or closely related phylogenetically (Fig. 1) to the following genera: Achaius, Achaiusoides, Amblyteles, Diphyus, Eutanyacra, Hepiopelmus, Limerodops, Serratichneumon, Spilichneumon, and Tricholabus. Montichneumon gen. nov. is morphologically most similar to Hepiopelmus in having a smooth postpetiole and narrowed gastrocoeli but differs in the weakly convex scutellum and completely sclerotized female S 4 (scutellum highly elevated and female S 4 unsclerotized in Hepiopelmus); Limedrodops in having narrowed gastrocoeli and a similar metasoma shape but differs in the weakly convex scutellum and normal female T 4 – 7 (scutellum highly elevated and lateral sides of female T 4 – T 7 strongly bending downward ventrally in Limedrodops); Achaiusoides in having smooth and sparsely punctate postpetiole and enlarged second segment of maxillary palps but differs in the long area superomedia with lateral part of anterior transverse carina absent (area superomedia wide with lateral part of anterior transverse carina present in Achaiusoides); it is also similar to some Oriental species of Diphyus (e. g., D. charlottae (Heinrich, 1965), D. malaisei (Heinrich, 1965), D. victoriae (Heinrich, 1965), and D. uliae Sebalt, 2013) in having a yellow and black color pattern, weakly convex scutellum or narrowed gastrocoeli but differs in the smooth and sparsely punctate postpetiole and narrowed T 1 (postpetiole striate and T 1 wider in Diphyus). The differential diagnosis between Montichneumon gen. nov. and its morphologically similar genera (genera mentioned above except Amblyteles, Eutanyacra, and Spilichneumon) is summarized in Table 2.	en	Chen, Hsuan-Pu, Kikuchi, Namiki, Shiao, Shiuh-Feng (2025): Montichneumon, a new genus of Ichneumoninae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) from the high mountains of Taiwan.

D7698781ED59ED43EDA0FB1B05EEFDE8.taxon	etymology	Etymology The specific name ‘ immortalibestia ’ is derived from the Latin words ‘ immortali- ’ (‘ immortal’) plus ‘ bestia ’ (‘ beast’), meaning ‘ the undying beast’. The name refers to the superhero character ‘ Wolverine’ from the Marvel Comics series ‘ X-Men’, who has the abilities of regeneration and beast-like retractable metal claws, as the yellow and black color pattern of this species resembles the costume of this character. Specific name is a noun in apposition.	en	Chen, Hsuan-Pu, Kikuchi, Namiki, Shiao, Shiuh-Feng (2025): Montichneumon, a new genus of Ichneumoninae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) from the high mountains of Taiwan.

D7698781ED59ED43EDA0FB1B05EEFDE8.taxon	discussion	Remarks This species keys to the subtribe Amblytelina (Ichneumonini) in the key of Tereshkin (2009) but does not agree with any genus listed in Tereshkin (2011). The yellow-black color pattern of this new species is similar to that of two species of the genus Hedyjoppa Cameron, 1904. including H. aurantacea Cameron, 1904 and H. chinensis Riedel, 2023. However, these species can be separated by generic characters such as the length of the malar space (long in M. immortalibestia but short in Hedyjoppa), the sculpture of the T 2 (evenly and minutely punctate in M. immortalibestia but striate in Hedyjoppa), and the presence of the lateral carina of the scutellum (absent in M. immortalibestia but complete in Hedyjoppa).	en	Chen, Hsuan-Pu, Kikuchi, Namiki, Shiao, Shiuh-Feng (2025): Montichneumon, a new genus of Ichneumoninae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) from the high mountains of Taiwan.
