Cleonymus is a genus of wasps in the family Cleonymidae. There are more than 40 described species in the genus, which has been recorded on every continent except Antarctica. [1] [2] [3]
These 47 species belong to the genus Cleonymus: [2]
Chalcid wasps are insects within the superfamily Chalcidoidea, part of the order Hymenoptera. The superfamily contains some 22,500 known species, and an estimated total diversity of more than 500,000 species, meaning the vast majority have yet to be discovered and described. The name "chalcid" is often confused with the name "chalcidid", though the latter refers strictly to one constituent family, the Chalcididae, rather than the superfamily as a whole; accordingly, most recent publications (e.g.,) use the name "chalcidoid" when referring to members of the superfamily.
The Eurytomidae are a family within the superfamily Chalcidoidea.
Odopoia is a genus of wasps in the family Torymidae, containing the following species:
Metapelma is a parasitic wasp genus, the only genus in the family Metapelmatidae. They are parasitoids of longhorn-beetle larvae, which are wood-borers.
Heydenia is a genus of wasps in the family Heydeniidae. They are parasitoids of bark beetles.
Megastigmus is a genus of minute wasps. There are more than 134 described species, more than half of which undergo larval development within the seeds of trees and shrubs.
Entedoninae is a subfamily of wasps in the family Eulophidae. The subfamily includes over 90 genera.
Eulophinae is a subfamily of wasps in the family Eulophidae which includes over 90 genera.
Leucospis is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Leucospidae. Most species are brightly coloured with yellow and black patterning and about 2 cm long. They have characteristically enlarged femurs on the hind leg, with the lower margin toothed. The wings have a longitudinal fold and the long ovipositor is bent over their backs above the abdomen or metasoma. They are parasitic on wasps and solitary bees that construct cells and provision food for their offspring. The Leucospis larvae live and grow as ectoparasites of the host larvae. Usually, only one parasite emerges from a single cell. The genus Micrapion from South Africa is very closely related, and phylogenetic studies suggest merging of the two genera. The genus Leucospis is found across the world in the tropical regions.
Eucharitinae is a subfamily of chalcid wasps in the family Eucharitidae.
Dirhinus is a genus of parasitic wasps in the family Chalcididae. The genus has a worldwide distribution.
Lariophaugus is a genus of hymenopteran parasitoids in the family Pteromalidae. The genus was described by American entomologist and taxonomist James Chamberlain Crawford, with the type species Lariophagus texanus.
Callitula is a genus of insects belonging to the family Pteromalidae.
Plutarchia is a genus of chalcid wasp in the subfamily Eurytominae. Alexandre Arsène Girault first circumscribed the genus in 1925; its name honors Plutarch. The genus initially only comprised its type species, P. bicarinativentris, found in Australia. Subsequent species from South Asia and Nigeria have been described and transferred to Plutarchia.
Chlorocytus is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Pteromalidae.
Anastatus is a large genus of parasitic wasps belonging to the family Eupelmidae.
Eunotus is a genus of chalcid wasps. Most species are parasitoids of scale insects.
