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 Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is an international organisation that focuses on making scientific data on biodiversity available via the Internet using web services. The data are provided by many institutions from around the world; GBIF's information architecture makes these data accessible and searchable through a single portal. Data available through the GBIF portal are primarily distribution data on plants, animals, fungi, and microbes for the world, and scientific names data.
The Eucharitidae are a family of parasitic wasps. Eucharitid wasps are members of the superfamily Chalcidoidea and consist of three subfamilies: Oraseminae, Eucharitinae, and Gollumiellinae. Most of the 55 genera and 417 species of Eucharitidae are members of the subfamilies Oraseminae and Eucharitinae, and are found in tropical regions of the world.
The Catalogue of Life is an online database that provides an index of known species of animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms. It was created in 2001 as a partnership between the global Species 2000 and the American Integrated Taxonomic Information System. The Catalogue is used by research scientists, citizen scientists, educators, and policy makers. The Catalogue is also used by the Biodiversity Heritage Library, the Barcode of Life Data System, Encyclopedia of Life, and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility. The Catalogue currently compiles data from 165 peer-reviewed taxonomic databases that are maintained by specialist institutions around the world. As of September 2022, the COL Checklist lists 2,067,951 of the world's 2.2m extant species known to taxonomists on the planet at present time.
Peucedanum is a genus of flowering plant in the carrot family, Apiaceae.
The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is a taxonomic database that aims to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms.
Conocramboides is a monotypic moth genus of the family Crambidae described by Stanisław Błeszyński in 1970. Its only species, Conocramboides seychellellus, described by Thomas Bainbrigge Fletcher in 1910, is found in the Seychelles, Réunion and in Mauritius.
Dendrolimus is a genus of moths in the family Lasiocampidae. The genus was erected by Ernst Friedrich Germar in 1812.
Endacantha is a genus of moths in the family Lasiocampidae. The genus was erected by Yves de Lajonquière in 1970.
Karenkonia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Lasiocampidae first described by Shōnen Matsumura in 1932. Its single species, Karenkonia taiwana, described by the same author in the same year, is found in Taiwan.
Lamprantaugia is a genus of moths in the family Lasiocampidae. The genus was established by Yves de Lajonquière in 1970.
Malacostola is a genus of moths in the family Lasiocampidae. The genus was erected by Yves de Lajonquière in 1970.
Pompeja is a monotypic moth genus in the family Lasiocampidae erected by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1856. Its only species, Pompeja psorica, described by the same author two years earlier, is found in Brazil.
Apocrypta is an Old World genus of parasitic fig wasps in the family Pteromalidae. They are parasitoids of gall-wasps in the Sycophagini tribe, and especially Ceratosolen species, pollinators of the Sycomorus, Sycocarpus and Neomorphe sections of Ficus. They seem to be fig species-specific.
Macroglenes is a genus of chalcidoid wasps in the family Pirenidae. There are at least 20 described species in Macroglenes.
Micropeplus is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least 40 described species in Micropeplus.
The Interim Register of Marine and Nonmarine Genera (IRMNG) is a taxonomic database which attempts to cover published genus names for all domains of life from 1758 in zoology up to the present, arranged in a single, internally consistent taxonomic hierarchy, for the benefit of Biodiversity Informatics initiatives plus general users of biodiversity (taxonomic) information. In addition to containing over 490,000 published genus name instances as at March 2020, the database holds over 1.7 million species names, although this component of the data is not maintained in as current or complete state as the genus-level holdings. IRMNG can be queried online for access to the latest version of the dataset and is also made available as periodic snapshots or data dumps for import/upload into other systems as desired.
Diprion is a genus of conifer sawflies in the family Diprionidae. There are at least 12 described species in Diprion.
Doddifoenus is a genus of wasps in the family Pelecinellidae. They are parasitoids of wood-boring beetles.
