The genus was first described by Wesmael in 1835. [1]
The species of this genus are found in Europe and North America. [1]
Species:
Constantin Wesmael was a Belgian entomologist.
The so-called American Elm cultivar Ulmus americana 'Variegata' was a Belgian clone mentioned by Wesmael in Bulletin de la Fédération des sociétés d'horticulture de Belgique, 1862, as Ulmus americana var. variegataHort. It was marketed by the Baudriller nursery of Angers as U. americana foliis variegatis. Wesmael's herbarium specimens, however, held in the Botanic Garden, Meise, both of his Ulmus americana and of his Ulmus americana var. variegata, do not appear to show American white elm leaves. It is known that nurseries in Europe and America marketed the golden wych elm Ulmus glabra 'Lutescens' as Ulmus americana aurea, and it is likely that Wesmael's Ulmus americana variegata was similarly misnamed, and perhaps derived from a reverting branch of aurea, whose leaves it resembled.
Metrioptera is a genus of insects in the tribe Platycleidini and subfamily Tettigoniinae, include the bog and meadow bush crickets. They are found in Eurasia.
Himantopterus is a genus of moths in the family Himantopteridae. It was described by Constantin Wesmael in 1836.
In this checklist are presented all wasp species of family Ichneumonidae found within the UK.
The Euphorinae are a large subfamily of Braconidae parasitoid wasps. Some species have been used for biological pest control. They are sister group to the Meteorinae.
Ichneumon is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Ichneumonidae.
Meteorus is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Braconidae. It comprises over 330 species worldwide.
Aoplus defraudator is a species of wasp in the genus Aoplus. It was first identified by Constantin Wesmael, in 1845.
Oxybelus is a genus of wasps in the family Crabronidae. The species are found worldwide except in the Australasian realm. They are especially represented in the Palearctic. Oxybelus is the largest genus in Crabronidae, with 264 species known. Oxybelus wasps sometimes gravitate towards people, flying around travellers and landing on them, even when they are shooed away. It is not known why they do it, however it might possibly be them trying to drink sweat for its minerals.
Aleiodes is a genus of the family Braconidae of parasitoid wasps described by Constantin Wesmael in 1838. They are also known as mummy-wasps.
The Rogadinae are a large subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps. Several Rogadinae species parasitize pest caterpillars and are important for naturally occurring biological control.
Teredidae is a family of beetles in the superfamily Coccinelloidea, formerly included within the family Bothrideridae. There are around 160 species in 10 genera, found worldwide except South America. Teredids are generally found under bark, in the galleries of wood-boring beetles, or in leaf litter. They are thought to be fungivores. The oldest records of the family are Delteredolaemus from mid-Cretaceous aged Burmese amber from Myanmar and a species of Teredolaemus from Eocene aged Baltic amber.
Hoplismenus is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.
Phaeogenes is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.
Diadromus is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.
Oiorhinus is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.
Heterischnus is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.
Hemichneumon is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.
Diospilini is a tribe of parasitoid wasp belonging to the family Braconidae and subfamily Brachistinae.
