Paleontology or palaeontology is the study of prehistoric life forms on Earth through the examination of plant and animal fossils. This includes the study of body fossils, tracks (ichnites), burrows, cast-off parts, fossilised feces (coprolites), palynomorphs and chemical residues. Because humans have encountered fossils for millennia, paleontology has a long history both before and after becoming formalized as a science. This article records significant discoveries and events related to paleontology that occurred or were published in the year 1915.
The Cheloninae are a cosmopolitan subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps.
The Doryctinae or doryctine wasps are a large subfamily of braconid parasitic wasps (Braconidae). Numerous genera and species formerly unknown to science are being described every year. This subfamily is presumably part of a clade containing otherwise any or all of the Alysiinae, Braconinae, Gnamptodontinae, Opiinae and Ypsistocerinae, and might be most closely related to the last one of these. Whether the Rogadinae are also part of this group is not known.
Allophrys is a genus of the parasitic wasp family Ichneumonidae.
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.
Cretorhyssalus is an extinct genus of wasps which existed in what is now Russia during the Cenomanian age of the Late Cretaceous. It was described by Sergey A. Belokobylskij, and contains the species C. brevis.
Spasskia brevicarinata is a species of parasitoid wasp native to the Guizhou and Yunnan provinces of China. The female body is 8.2 millimeters long, with 7.3 millimeter forewings. The ovipositor, when fully extended, measures 5.5 millimeters long. General coloration is black, however, the first tergite is yellow. The fore and mid legs are also yellow, while the hind pair are reddish-brown and whitish-yellow. The antennae are dark brown, with a whitish-yellow stripe between the 11th and 15th flagellomeres No males of the species have been observed to date. The species name is derived from Latin brevi, meaning "short" and carinata, the word for "carina". This literally means that the species has a short dorsal carinae as part of the first tergite.
Spathius is a genus of doryctine wasps. The larvae of this genus of wasps feed on beetle larvae. They act as controllers of the parasitic Hylurgopinus rufipes.
The Rogadinae are a large subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps. Several Rogadinae species parasitize pest caterpillars and are important for naturally occurring biological control.
Dirrhope is the only extant genus in the subfamily Dirrhopinae of braconid parasitoid wasps. Dirrope was included in the Microgastrinae until 1984. Specimens of this genus have been found fossilsed in amber dating from the Cretaceous period.
Ivondrovia is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the subfamily Doryctinae of the family Braconidae. This genus contains two species. It is found in the Afrotropical region.
Vanhornia is a genus of parasitic wasps. Of the four known species, V. eucnemidarum (type) is widespread across North America, V. leileri is widespread across the Palearctic, V. quizhouensis is found in South China and Thailand, and V. yurii is found in Northeast Asia. Members of Vanhornia are parasitoids on beetles belonging to the family Eucnemidae.
Colastes is a genus of braconid wasps in the family Braconidae. There are at least 80 described species in Colastes.
Phrynixus astutus is a weevil that is endemic to New Zealand. It has been found in lawns and garden beds in private gardens in Dunedin, and in two Wellington sanctuaries, Zealandia and Otari Wilsons Bush. This weevil is known to be a host for the parasitoid wasp Metaspathius kuscheli.
Elampus cecchiniae is a species of wasp in the cuckoo wasp family (Chrysididae). The species was first described in 1967 by A. P. Semenov-Tian-Shanskij as Notozus cecchiniae and transferred to the genus Elampus in 1991. The holotype is a male that was found in Turkmenistan.
