Palmodes is a genus of thread-waisted wasps in the family Sphecidae. There are more than 20 described species in Palmodes. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
These 21 species belong to the genus Palmodes:
The Sphecidae are a cosmopolitan family of wasps of the suborder Apocrita that includes sand wasps, mud daubers, and other thread-waisted wasps.
The Sphecinae is a subfamily of the digger wasp family Sphecidae.
Larra, also known as mole cricket wasps or mole cricket hunters, is a genus of wasps that prey on various species of mole crickets. They have gained prominence as integrated pest management agents.
Astata is a cosmopolitan genus of solitary predatory wasps in the subfamily Astatinae. They are known to prey on adults and nymphs of Pentatomidae. Astata is the largest genus in this subfamily, and is identified by features of its wing venation. The males of this genus and the related genus Dryudella have very large compound eyes that broadly meet at the top of the head.
Chalybion is a genus of blue mud dauber wasps in the family Sphecidae. Chalybion species nest in a wide range of natural and artificial cavities such as holes in wood, walls, plant stems, etc., where they typically provision their brood cells with paralyzed spiders. They also reuse old nests of other wasps like Trypoxylon and Sceliphron.
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.
Podalonia is a genus of parasitoidal wasps in the family Sphecidae.
Prionyx is a genus of wasps in the family Sphecidae. They are known to hunt and feed on grasshoppers.
Crabro is a genus of square-headed wasps belonging to the family Crabronidae. There are at least 80 described species in Crabro, found in the Nearctic and Palaearctic (Holarctic).
Ectemnius is a genus of wasps in the family Crabronidae. 188 species are known. The genus is found around the world but Australia has only two species.
Mellinus is a genus of wasps in the family Mellinidae. The species are found in the Palearctic, Nearctic, the Neotropics and the Orient. 16 species are known
Trypoxylon is a genus of wasps in the family Crabronidae. All Trypoxylon species that have been studied so far are active hunters of spiders, which they paralyse with a venomous sting, to provide as food to their developing larvae. Depending on the species, they will either construct their own nest from mud or find cavities that already exist. These cavities can range from keyholes to nail holes to previously abandoned nests, and are generally sealed with mud to create cells for their larvae.
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.
Podium is a genus of thread-waisted wasps in the family Sphecidae. There are at least 20 described species in Podium.
Glenostictia is a genus of sand wasps in the family Crabronidae. There are more than 20 described species in Glenostictia.
Chalybion zimmermanni, known generally as the Zimmermann's mud wasp or blue mud dauber wasp, is a species of thread-waisted wasp in the family Sphecidae.
Larropsis is a genus of square-headed wasps in the family Crabronidae. There are more than 40 described species in Larropsis.
Dryudella is a genus of wasps in the family Crabronidae. There are more than 50 described species in Dryudella.
Psammaletes is a genus of sand wasps in the family Crabronidae. There are about nine described species in Psammaletes.
