Taxonomic notes
Proctotrupidae is a of small (often under 5 mm) that are among the most poorly studied Hymenoptera. Disogmus is one of several in this family that require taxonomic knowledge for identification. The family has undergone significant taxonomic revision, and many remain undescribed.
Data limitations
Only 10 observations are recorded in iNaturalist, and no Wikipedia summary exists for this . This reflects the general obscurity of Proctotrupidae in public biodiversity databases and the need for specialized collecting methods (such as or soil sampling) to document these insects.
