Microdonophagus is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
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 Eulophidae is a large family of hymenopteran insects, with over 4,300 described species in some 300 genera. The family includes the genus Elasmus, which used to be treated as a separate family, "Elasmidae", and is now treated as a subfamily of Eulophidae. These minute insects are challenging to study, as they deteriorate rapidly after death unless extreme care is taken, making identification of most museum specimens difficult. The larvae of very few species feed on plants, but the majority are primary parasitoids on a huge range of arthropods at all stages of development. They are exceptional in that they are one of two hymenopteran families with some species that are known to parasitize thrips. Eulophids are found throughout the world in virtually all habitats.
Achrysocharoides is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
Asecodes is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae. They are endoparasitoids of Galerucella larvae.
Baeoentedon is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae, they are parasitoids of whitefly from the family Aleyrodidae which are found on trees of the genus Ficus. They have been recorded from Australia, China, India, Indonesia and Florida. A fifth species, Baeoentodon farazi, was described from Karnataka, India, in 2017.
Dicladocerus is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
Eprhopalotus is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae. Their distribution varies between species but ranges from Costa Rica, Mexico to Texas. There are currently 5 species of Eprhopalotus:
Microlycus is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
Miotropis is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
Omphalentedon is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
Pediobius is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the chalcid wasp family Eulophidae. Like their relatives, the larvae of these diminutive wasps are parasitoids of various arthropods. Some Pediobius are used in biological pest control.
Quadrastichus is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
Tetramorium hispidum is a species of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae. Tetramorium hispidum differs from similar ants in the Myrmicinae subfamily by the structure surrounding the ant's antennal insertions. Short, stubble-like hairs exist on the pronotum and frontal carinae. The antenna of Tetramorium hispidum contains 11 segments.
Aphaenogaster uinta is a species of ant in the family Formicidae.
Camponotus sexguttatus is a species of carpenter ant native to South America, Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. This species is invasive in Florida, Hawaii, and Arizona.
Camponotus planatus, known generally as the compact carpenter ant or short carpenter ant, is one of three Camponotus species that is polygynous, or has more than one queen. It is a species of ant.
Pheidole metallescens is an ant, a species of higher myrmicine in the family Formicidae.
Trachymyrmex nogalensis is a species of higher myrmicine in the family Formicidae.
Horismenus floridensis is a species of hymenopteran insect of the family Eulophidae. It is parasitic on the pupae of Camponotus floridanus, the Florida carpenter ant. Up to 21 H. floridensis wasps may develop on one C. floridanus pupa. Alachua floridensis is a junior synonym of H. floridensis.
