Racionais superstes is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae. It can be found in Ecuador. [1]
It was described based on a single specimen, a female. It is overall brown in color and the holotype is 2.7 mm (0.1 in) in body length. The third tergite is striate, separating it from R. brunus whose third tergite is granulate. [1]
The specific epithet "superstes" means "survival" or "survive". This refers to the struggle of the marginalized people of Brazil. The word was included in an album title by the Racionais MC's "Sobrevivendo no Inferno" (Surviving in Hell). The names of the genus and its species are based on the hip hop group and the societal issues they have brought attention to. [1]
The Ichneumonidae, also known as ichneumon wasps, ichneumonid wasps, ichneumonids, or Darwin wasps, are a family of parasitoid wasps of the insect order Hymenoptera. They are one of the most diverse groups within the Hymenoptera with roughly 25,000 species described as of 2016. However, this likely represents less than a quarter of their true richness as reliable estimates are lacking, along with much of the most basic knowledge about their ecology, distribution, and evolution. It is estimated that there are more species in this family than there are species of birds and mammals combined. Ichneumonid wasps, with very few exceptions, attack the immature stages of holometabolous insects and spiders, eventually killing their hosts. They play an important role as regulators of insect populations, both in natural and semi-natural systems, making them promising agents for biological control.
The Braconidae are a family of parasitoid wasps. After the closely related Ichneumonidae, braconids make up the second-largest family in the order Hymenoptera, with about 17,000 recognized species and many thousands more undescribed. One analysis estimated a total between 30,000 and 50,000, and another provided a narrower estimate between 42,000 and 43,000 species.
The Aphidiinae are a subfamily of tiny parasitoid wasps that use aphids as their hosts. Several species have been used in biological control programs of various aphids.
Microgastrinae is a subfamily of braconid wasps, encompassing almost 3,000 described species, with an estimated 30,000–50,000 total species. This makes it one of the richest subfamilies with the most species of parasitoid wasps.
Dinocampus coccinellae is a braconid wasp parasite of coccinellid beetles, including the spotted lady beetle, Coleomegilla maculata. D. coccinellae has been described as turning its ladybird host into a temporary "zombie" guarding the wasp cocoon. About 25% of Coleomegilla maculata recover after the cocoon they are guarding matures, although the proportion of other ladybird species which recover is much lower.
Sphecius grandis, also called the western cicada killer, is a species of cicada killer wasp (Sphecius). The western species shares the same nesting biology as its fellow species, the eastern cicada killer. S. grandis, like all other species of the genus Sphecius, mainly provides cicadas for its offspring. It forms nest aggregations and mates and broods once in a year, in July and early August. The wasp is on average 3 cm (1 in) to 5 cm (2 in) in length and is amber-yellow with yellow rings on its abdomen.
Apanteles is a very large genus of braconid wasps, containing more than 600 described species found worldwide. There are no native species in New Zealand, and none have been recorded in the high arctic.
Cystomastacoides is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Braconidae. It was named by Dutch entomologist Kees van Achterberg in 1997 from a single species Cystomastacoides coxalis discovered in Yunnan, China. There are only four species described in the genus, the other three having been reported on 19 March 2013. As typical ichneumon wasps, they are characterised by a deadly parasitoid behaviour. Their larvae grow inside the body of other insects, such as caterpillars, and feed on their internal organs inside the body until they emerge.
Wroughtonia brevicarinata is a species of parasitoid wasp native to the Guizhou and Yunnan provinces of China. The female body is 8.2 millimeters long, with 7.3 millimeter forewings. The ovipositor, when fully extended, measures 5.5 millimeters long. General coloration is black, however, the first tergite is yellow. The fore and mid legs are also yellow, while the hind pair are reddish-brown and whitish-yellow. The antennae are dark brown, with a whitish-yellow stripe between the 11th and 15th flagellomeres No males of the species have been observed to date. The species name is derived from Latin brevi, meaning "short" and carinata, the word for "carina". This literally means that the species has a short dorsal carinae as part of the first tergite.
Meteorus is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Braconidae. It comprises over 330 species worldwide.
The Rogadinae are a large subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps. Several Rogadinae species parasitize pest caterpillars and are important for naturally occurring biological control.
Dirrhope is the only extant genus in the subfamily Dirrhopinae of braconid parasitoid wasps. Dirrope was included in the Microgastrinae until 1984. Specimens of this genus have been found fossilsed in amber dating from the Cretaceous period.
Nealiolus curculionis is a species of parasitic wasp in the family Braconidae. It is a parasitoid of the sunflower stem weevil Cylindrocopturus adspersus, and a number of other species of stem-boring weevils.
Gondwanocentrini is a tribe of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae. It is represented in the Neotropical region. It is the sister tribe to Betylobraconini.
Jannya is a genus of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae and can be found in the Neotropical region. It contains three known species.
Jannya nigriceps is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae.
Jannya pasargadae is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae. It can be found in Amazonas, northernBrazil.
Racionais is a genus of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae. The genus is represented in Brazil and Ecuador. There are three species in the genus as of its description in August 2024.
Racionais brunus is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae. It can be found in Brazil.
Racionais kaelejay is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae. It can be found in Brazil.
