Catadelphops nasutus
Catadelphops nasutus is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, subfamily Ichneumoninae. It was described by Heinrich in 1962 from specimens collected in the Santa Rita Mountains of Arizona. The species name "nasutus" refers to the distinctive bipartite swelling on the clypeus. The genus Catadelphops was erected by Heinrich based on this single species, with females characterized by being amblypygous—having a very short ovipositor and broad subgenital plate.
Goneatara nasutus
Goneatara nasutus is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, subfamily Ichneumoninae. The species was described by Heinrich in 1962 based on three female specimens from southern Arizona. It is characterized by an unusual clypeus with a median swelling that becomes bipartite below, branching toward the apical margin—this distinctive feature inspired the specific epithet "nasutus" (meaning "large-nosed"). Females are amblypygous, possessing a very short ovipositor and broad subgenital plate, an adaptation for ovipositing into mature larvae or prepupae of Lepidoptera rather than pupae.
Zagryphus nasutus
Zagryphus nasutus is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, subfamily Ichneumoninae. First described by Cresson in 1868, this species belongs to a genus characterized by distinctive morphological features of the clypeus. The genus Zagryphus was established by Heinrich in 1962 with Z. nasutus as the type species. Like other ichneumon wasps, it is presumed to be parasitoid, though specific host relationships remain undocumented. The species has been recorded in the southwestern United States, particularly in Arizona.
