03AE87A8E57C6877FF0FF9DB7793F82F.taxon	materials_examined	Type species: Probles melanarius Szépligeti, 1899 (= erythrostomus Gravenhorst, 1829). Twelve species of the genus Probles Förster are found to occur in Mexico. All species belong to the subgenus Euporizon Horstmann and are new to science. The genus is rare in Mexico and predominantly collected in the mountainous parts of the country (see Fig. 1). Most species are represented by one or a few specimens, except for P. megasoma sp. nov. which is relatively abundant and distributed from tropical Mexico to Costa Rica (Fig. 2). Eleven other Mexican species of Probles were not found in a large examined tersilochine material from Costa Rica (which contains several undescribed species of Probles), and apparently do not occur in this country.	en	Khalaim, Andrey I., Ruíz-Cancino, Enrique (2019): Mexican species of the genus Probles Förster (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Tersilochinae).

03AE87A8E57B6872FF0FFAFB7024F9CF.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Mexico (Veracruz) (Fig. 1). Comparison. The new species is easily distinguished from all other Mexican species of Probles by its mandible with exceptionally long upper tooth (Fig. 11) and interstitial second recurrent vein (2 m-cu) in the fore wing (Fig. 8). Probles belokobylskii sp. nov. resembles the genus Diaparsis Förster as it has rather strongly transverse head, large clypeus (Fig. 10) and strongly oblique anteriorly foveate groove of mesopleuron (Fig. 13), but the propodeum with distinct basal area (Fig. 14) and first metasomal segment with glymma joining by furrow to the ventral part of postpetiole (Fig. 8) indicate that it is a species of Probles.	en	Khalaim, Andrey I., Ruíz-Cancino, Enrique (2019): Mexican species of the genus Probles Förster (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Tersilochinae).

03AE87A8E56A6863FF0FFAB473D3FABB.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Mexico (Tamaulipas) (Fig. 1). Comparison. It is a very small species with body length 2.4 mm and fore wing 2.0 mm which is easily distinguished from all other Mexican species of Probles by its slender and evenly tapered apically ovipositor with neither dorsal subapical notch nor teeth (Fig. 61). It is also characterized by predominantly smooth head and mesosoma, short and narrow foveate groove of mesopleuron (Fig. 59), and first metasomal tergite with small glymma which is not connected with the ventral part of postpetiole (Fig. 61). In the shape of the ovipositor P. picus sp. nov. resembles Stethantyx crassa Horstmann, but may be distinguished from that species by fewer number of flagellomeres (Fig. 57), longer distance between propodeal spiracle and pleural carina (Fig. 59), and longer second metasomal tergite. Among Nearctic Tersilochinae, similar ovipositor is also known in Diaparsis nigella Horstmann, but in this species the ovipositor is much longer (sheath 2.8 × as long as first tergite) and the second metasomal tergite is much shorter.	en	Khalaim, Andrey I., Ruíz-Cancino, Enrique (2019): Mexican species of the genus Probles Förster (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Tersilochinae).
