Probethylus is a genus of chrysidoid wasps in the family Sclerogibbidae, established by Ashmead in 1902. These wasps are specialized parasitoids of webspinners (order Embioptera). The genus has been documented in arid and semiarid regions of the Americas, with a recent first record from Argentina in 2019.
Probethylus callani
Probethylus callani is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Sclerogibbidae, described by Richards in 1939. Members of this family are small chrysidoid wasps that parasitize webspinners (Embioptera). The species has a broad distribution across the Americas from Mexico to Argentina, with additional records from the United States, Yemen, and some Afrotropical countries. A 2023 record from Valle Fértil, San Juan Province, Argentina marked the first documentation of this species in that country.
