Miscophini is a tribe of square-headed wasps in the family Crabronidae. There are about 17 genera and at least 570 described species in Miscophini. [1] [2]
These 17 genera belong to the tribe Miscophini: [3] [4]
Pison is a cosmopolitan genus of wasps within the family Crabronidae. The genus comprises 145 described species, although many species, especially in South America remain undescribed.
Aha ha is a species of Australian wasp, named by the entomologist Arnold Menke in 1977 as a joke. Menke described several years after its discovery how, when he received a package from a colleague containing insect specimens, he exclaimed "Aha, a new genus", with fellow entomologist Eric Grissell responding "ha" doubtfully. The name of the insect is commonly found in lists of bizarre scientific names. The name was also used as the vehicle registration plate of Menke's car, "AHA HA".
Crabronini is a tribe of square-headed wasps in the family Crabronidae. There are more than 40 genera and 1,500 described species in Crabronini. Wasps of this tribe are mostly small to very small wasps. Typical of this tribe are the forewings with a single submarginal cell, the lack of membranous metanotal and propodeal modifications, and a square-shaped head.
Ammophila is the type genus of the subfamily Ammophilinae of the hunting wasp family Sphecidae. Ammophila is a large and cosmopolitan genus, with over 200 species, mostly occurring in the warmer regions of all continents apart from Antarctica.
The Ctenocerinae are a subfamily of spider wasps, Pompilidae, which contains a small number of genera, two in the Neotropics, four in Australia and the remainder in Africa. Ctenocerine wasps have evidently evolved from a common ancestor with the Pepsinae, but are specialized for preying upon trap-door spiders (Ctenizidae).
Ammophilinae is a subfamily of thread-waisted wasps in the family Sphecidae. There are about 6 genera and more than 320 described species in Ammophilinae.
Mellinus is a genus of wasps in the family Crabronidae. The species are found in the Palearctic, Nearctic, the Neotropics and the Orient.16 species are known
Aha is a genus of wasp. As of 2017, it consists of two species: A. ha, and A. evansi, and is endemic to Australia. The American entomologist Arnold S. Menke named and circumscribed the genus in 1977 for his newly-described species A. ha and A. evansi.
Trypoxylini is a tribe of traditional Sphecidae in the family Crabronidae. There are at least 840 described species in Trypoxylini.
Melanoplini is a tribe of spur-throated grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are about 19 genera and more than 200 described species in Melanoplini, all in North America. Their biogeography shows that many species in the tribe have descendants from the Eocene epoch and Miocene epoch.
Oxybelini is a tribe of square-headed wasps in the family Crabronidae. There are about 15 genera and more than 440 described species in Oxybelini.
Psenini is a tribe of aphid wasps in the family Crabronidae. There are about 11 genera and at least 460 described species in Psenini.
Pepsini is a tribe of spider wasps in the family Pompilidae. There are about 11 genera and at least 40 described species in Pepsini.
Palmodes is a genus of thread-waisted wasps in the family Sphecidae. There are more than 20 described species in Palmodes.
Podium is a genus of thread-waisted wasps in the family Sphecidae. There are at least 20 described species in Podium.
Hadenoecini is a tribe of cave crickets in the family Rhaphidophoridae. There are two genera and nine described species. It is sometimes considered a synonym of the subfamily Dolichopodainae.
Larrini is a tribe of square-headed wasps in the family Crabronidae. About 15 genera and more than 1,300 described species are placed in the Larrini.
Palarini is a tribe of square-headed wasps in the family Crabronidae. There are at least 2 genera and more than 30 described species in Palarini.
