Proctotrupes terminalis
Proctotrupes terminalis is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Proctotrupidae, described by Ashmead in 1893. Members of this family are typically small, dark-colored wasps that parasitize beetle larvae, particularly those of ground beetles (Carabidae) and rove beetles (Staphylinidae). The genus Proctotrupes is among the more speciose genera within Proctotrupidae, though species-level taxonomy remains challenging due to morphological conservatism.
