Pristaulacus foxleei
Pristaulacus foxleei is a species of aulacid wasp in the family Aulacidae, described by Townes in 1950. It is native to North America, with records from western Canada including British Columbia. Like other members of its genus, it is a parasitoid wasp associated with wood-boring beetles. The species is one of approximately 32 aulacid species documented in North America.
Pristaulacus minor
Pristaulacus minor is a species of aulacid wasp in the family Aulacidae. Like other members of its genus, it is a parasitoid wasp associated with wood-boring beetles. The species is found in North America, with records from Canada including British Columbia.
Pristaulacus montanus
Pristaulacus montanus is a species of aulacid wasp in the family Aulacidae. Aulacid wasps are parasitoids of wood-boring beetle larvae, particularly longhorned beetles (Cerambycidae) and jewel beetles (Buprestidae). The species occurs in North America, with records from Canada including British Columbia. Aulacids are often mistaken for ichneumon wasps due to their superficial resemblance, but can be distinguished by the high attachment of the abdomen on the thorax and a downcurved ovipositor tip.
Pristaulacus niger
Pristaulacus niger is a species of aulacid wasp found in North America. Aulacid wasps are parasitoids of wood-boring beetle larvae, particularly longhorned beetles (Cerambycidae) and jewel beetles (Buprestidae). They are often overlooked due to their superficial resemblance to ichneumon wasps. The genus Pristaulacus includes some of the larger species in the family Aulacidae.
Pristaulacus resutorivorus
A species of parasitoid wasp in the family Aulacidae, found in North America. Members of this genus are parasitoids of wood-boring beetles, particularly longhorned beetles (Cerambycidae) and jewel beetles (Buprestidae). The species is poorly documented in the literature, with most biological knowledge inferred from better-studied congeners.
