Trieces integer

Townes & Townes, 1959

Trieces integer is a of ichneumonid described by Townes & Townes in 1959. The Trieces belongs to the Ichneumonidae, one of the largest families of wasps. Very little published biological information exists for this species. The genus name Trieces derives from Greek, with 'tri-' meaning three and 'eces' likely referring to some morphological feature, though the specific meaning of 'integer' (Latin for 'whole' or 'intact') in this context is not documented in available sources.

Taxonomic Note

The Trieces was established by Townes & Townes in 1959. in this genus are small ichneumonid wasps, but detailed morphological descriptions and diagnostic features for T. integer specifically are not readily available in accessible literature. The genus is not among the more commonly encountered or well-studied ichneumonid genera.

Data Limitations

This is represented by very few records in public databases. iNaturalist shows only 2 observations, and GBIF records are limited. No published biological studies or records were found in the sources examined. This reflects the general pattern for many small species, which remain taxonomically described but biologically obscure.
