Ormyrus rosae
Ormyrus rosae is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Ormyridae, first described by Ashmead in 1885. The species is known from gall-associated habitats in North America, with records from Colorado, Florida, Kansas, New Jersey, and Ontario. As a member of the genus Ormyrus, it likely parasitizes gall-forming insects, though specific host associations for this species remain poorly documented. The species epithet 'rosae' suggests a historical association with rose-feeding hosts, possibly the gall wasp Diplolepis rosae.
