Hyposoter fugitivus
Hyposoter fugitivus is an ichneumonid parasitoid wasp first described by Thomas Say in 1835. Molecular studies have established that this species carries polydnavirus DNA integrated into its chromosomes, representing a stable symbiotic relationship. The polydnavirus is transmitted vertically and likely plays a role in manipulating host physiology during parasitism, though specific host associations remain undocumented in available sources.
