Diploplectron ferrugineum
Diploplectron ferrugineum is a solitary wasp species in the family Crabronidae, subfamily Astatinae. It is a small, rust-colored wasp found in North America. Members of this genus are known to be ground-nesting predators that provision their nests with paralyzed prey, typically small insects. The species was described by William Harris Ashmead in 1899.
Monodontomerinae
Monodontomerinae is a subfamily of chalcidoid wasps within the family Torymidae, established by Ashmead in 1899. Members are small parasitoid wasps that attack the larvae of other insects, particularly those developing in plant galls. The subfamily is characterized by distinctive morphological features of the antennae and ovipositor structure. Taxonomic status has been debated, with some classifications treating it as a synonym of Toryminae.
