Microchridium
Microchridium is a genus of cuckoo wasps in the family Chrysididae, established by Bohart in 1980. It belongs to the order Hymenoptera, a group that includes wasps, bees, and ants. As with other chrysidids, members of this genus are likely cleptoparasitic, laying eggs in the nests of other wasps or bees. The genus is poorly known, with minimal published information and very few observations documented. Its taxonomic status is marked as doubtful in some databases, indicating potential issues with its validity or circumscription.
