Cratichneumon is a genus of the parasitic wasp that belongs to the family Ichneumonidae.[1] It is native to North America but mostly in the eastern United States and Canada.[2]
It is one of the most common and diverse genus of ichneumonine genera in the nearctic realm. They have a considerable range of size to the point where larger species may be confused with Ichneumon and smaller species may be confused with Barichneumon, Melanichneumon, Homotherus, Aoplus, and Crypteffigies.[2]
