Myrmosa bradleyi
Myrmosa bradleyi is a species of velvet ant wasp in the family Myrmosidae. The family Myrmosidae comprises small, parasitoid wasps that are closely related to Mutillidae (true velvet ants). Species in this family are typically wingless females and winged males, with females resembling ants in their terrestrial, ground-dwelling habits. Very little specific information is available for M. bradleyi, which has been documented from only a handful of observations.
Myrmosula exaggerata
Myrmosula exaggerata is a species of velvet ant in the family Myrmosidae, a small family of solitary parasitoid wasps. Members of this genus are rarely encountered and poorly documented in scientific literature. The species name 'exaggerata' likely refers to some pronounced morphological feature, though the specific etymology has not been formally published. Based on family-level characteristics, individuals are expected to be wingless females or winged males with reduced wing venation.
Myrmosula rutilans
Myrmosula rutilans is a species of myrmosid wasp in the family Myrmosidae, a small group of parasitoid wasps. The family Myrmosidae is part of the superfamily Pompiloidea and is closely related to spider wasps (Pompilidae). Species in this family are parasitoids of other insects, though specific host records for M. rutilans appear to be limited in the literature. The genus Myrmosula contains multiple species distributed in North America.
