Scorpioteleia

Scorpioteleia is a genus of small parasitoid wasps in the family Diapriidae, first described by William Harris Ashmead in 1897. As members of Diapriidae, these wasps are likely associated with decaying organic matter where their hosts develop. The genus name references a scorpion-like appearance, presumably due to the curved metasoma characteristic of some diapriid females. Very few observations exist, with only seven records on iNaturalist as of the source date.
