Tryphon rutilator is a species of the family Ichneumonidae, subfamily Tryphoninae. [2]
This European-Siberian species is present in most of Europe and Siberia, in the Near East, and in the Oriental realm. [3] These insects mainly inhabit hedge rows. [4]
Tryphon rutilator can reach a body length of 7–11 millimetres (0.28–0.43 in), with forewings of 5–9 millimetres (0.20–0.35 in). [4] Head is weakly compressed posteriorly, witt long yellowish antennae consisting of 29-35 segments. Frons has a weak longitudinal carina. These ichneumonids have a black body and reddish abdomen. Legs are mainly yellow-reddish, with black femurs and tibiae on posterior legs. [5] [6]
Adults can be found from June to July. [4] They mainly feed on nectar of Apiaceae species (especially Anthriscus sylvestris and Heracleum sphondylium ). [4]
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 thus fulfill an important role as regulators of insect populations, both in natural and semi-natural systems, making them promising agents for biological control.
