Pristaulacus is a genus of aulacids, ensigns, and gasteruptiids in the Hymenopteran family, Aulacidae. There are at least 130 described species in Pristaulacus. [1] [2] [3] [4]
The Aulacidae are a small, cosmopolitan family, with two extant genera containing some 200 known species. They are primarily endoparasitoids of wood wasps (Xiphydriidae) and xylophagous beetles. They are closely related to the family Gasteruptiidae, sharing the feature of having the first and second metasomal tergites fused, and having the head on a long pronotal "neck", though they are not nearly as slender and elongate as gasteruptiids, nor are their hind legs club-like, and they have more sculptured thoraces. They share the evanioid trait of having the metasoma attached very high above the hind coxae on the propodeum.
Anthribidae is a family of beetles also known as fungus weevils. The antennae are not elbowed, may occasionally be longer than the body and thread-like, and can be the longest of any members of Curculionoidea. As in the Nemonychidae, the labrum appears as a separate segment to the clypeus, and the maxillary palps are long and projecting.
Sphindidae is a family of beetles, in the suborder Polyphaga. Palaeontological discoveries in 2015 have added to the geologic history of Sphindidae, including the discovery of Libanopsis, placed in the extinct subfamily Libanopsinae.
Coptoclavella is an extinct genus of beetles in the family Coptoclavidae. There are about seven described species in Coptoclavella.
