  • Anteon puncticeps

    Anteon puncticeps is a species of dryinid wasp in the family Dryinidae, first described by Ashmead in 1893. The genus Anteon comprises parasitoid wasps that target planthoppers and leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha). Members of this genus are characterized by their distinctive raptorial forelegs adapted for capturing hosts. Like other dryinids, A. puncticeps likely exhibits the family's typical biology of larval parasitoidism, with females using modified forelegs to grasp hosts while ovipositing. The species is represented in museum collections, including slide-mounted specimens at the University of California, Riverside Entomology Research Museum.
