Dolichozele is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Braconidae, first described by Viereck in 1911. Members of this genus belong to the superfamily Ichneumonoidea, one of the largest and most diverse groups of parasitoid wasps. The genus is part of the subfamily Braconinae or a related group within Braconidae, though precise subfamilial placement may require verification. Like other braconid wasps, species in this genus are presumed to be koinobiont or idiobiont parasitoids of other insects, though specific host associations remain poorly documented.
Dracunesia
Dracunesia is a genus of small parasitoid wasps in the family Bethylidae, described in 2018 by Alencar and Azevedo. The genus was established based on specimens from Brazil, representing a distinct lineage within this family of aculeate wasps. Bethylidae are known as flat wasps, characterized by their laterally compressed bodies and parasitoid lifestyle, primarily attacking immature stages of various insects. As a recently described genus, knowledge of Dracunesia remains limited to the original taxonomic description.
Dusona egregia
Dusona egregia is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, described by Viereck in 1916. Members of the genus Dusona are parasitoid wasps, with females using their ovipositors to lay eggs in host insects. The species belongs to a large genus containing over 400 described species worldwide.
Dusona rufescens
Dusona rufescens is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, first described by Walley in 1940. As a member of the genus Dusona, it is part of a large and diverse group of parasitoid wasps. The species name "rufescens" refers to a reddish or rust-colored appearance. Very little specific information about this species has been documented in readily available sources.
Dyscritobaeus
Dyscritobaeus is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Scelionidae, first described by Perkins in 1910. These small wasps belong to the superfamily Platygastroidea, a group characterized by reduced wing venation and often associated with egg parasitism. The genus is part of the diverse Scelioninae subfamily, which contains numerous genera of minute wasps that attack the eggs of various insects. Records of this genus are sparse, with limited observational data available.
Earinus limitaris
Earinus limitaris is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae, first described by Thomas Say in 1835. It belongs to the diverse ichneumonoid lineage of wasps, which are characterized by their parasitoid lifestyle. The species is documented from North America, though detailed biological studies remain limited. As a member of Braconidae, it likely functions as a koinobiont parasitoid, though this has not been explicitly confirmed for this species.
Echthrus niger
Echthrus niger is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, described by Cresson in 1868. It belongs to a genus of parasitoid wasps that attack wood-boring beetle larvae. The species has been recorded in western Canada, specifically in Alberta and surrounding regions.
Ectopimorpha
Ectopimorpha is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Ichneumonidae, first described by Viereck in 1912. As members of Ichneumonidae, these wasps are presumed to be koinobiont or idiobiont parasitoids of other insects, though specific host associations remain poorly documented. The genus is rarely encountered in collections and has received limited taxonomic study.
Ectopimorpha wilsoni
Ectopimorpha wilsoni is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae. It was described by Cresson in 1864. The species is part of a genus of parasitoid wasps, though specific biological details remain poorly documented in published literature.
Ectromatopsis
Ectromatopsis is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Encyrtidae, subfamily Tetracneminae. The genus was established by Compere in 1947. Members of this genus are chalcid wasps, a group characterized by reduced wing venation and parasitoid lifestyles. The genus is represented in major entomological collections, including the University of California Riverside Encyrtidae collection, which holds voucher specimens of Ectromatopsis americanum (Howard).
Encarsia lanceolata
Encarsia lanceolata is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Aphelinidae, described by Evans and Polaszek in 1997. The genus Encarsia comprises minute chalcidoid wasps that parasitize whiteflies and other hemipteran hosts. Species in this genus are extensively studied for their importance in biological control programs targeting agricultural pests. E. lanceolata belongs to a genus noted for its extensive cryptic species diversity, making accurate identification dependent on detailed morphological or molecular analysis.
Endaseina
Endaseina is a subtribe of parasitoid wasps within the family Ichneumonidae. Members of this group are part of the diverse and species-rich ichneumonid lineage, which comprises one of the largest families of Hymenoptera. The subtribe is classified within the tribe Endaseini. Specific morphological and biological characteristics distinguishing this subtribe from related groups remain poorly documented in accessible literature.
Endasys mucronatus
Endasys mucronatus is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, first described by Provancher in 1879. The genus Endasys belongs to the diverse parasitoid wasp family Ichneumonidae, one of the largest families of insects. Very little specific biological information is available for this particular species.
Endasys oregonianus
Endasys oregonianus is a species of ichneumon wasp described by Luhman in 1990. The specific epithet "oregonianus" indicates a type locality or primary distribution in Oregon, USA. As a member of the large family Ichneumonidae, this species is presumed to be a parasitoid, though its specific host associations remain undocumented in available sources. The genus Endasys is part of the diverse ichneumonid fauna of North America.
Endasys texanus
Endasys texanus is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, described by Cresson in 1872. It belongs to a genus of parasitoid wasps within the superfamily Ichneumonoidea. The species epithet 'texanus' indicates a connection to Texas, likely reflecting the type locality or region of original collection. Like other members of Ichneumonidae, this species is presumed to be a parasitoid, though specific host relationships and biology remain poorly documented.
Endromopoda producta
A parasitoid wasp species in the family Ichneumonidae, described by Walley in 1960. Very little published information exists on its biology, ecology, or host associations. Records indicate presence in Canada.
Enicospilus texanus
Enicospilus texanus is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, first described by Ashmead in 1890. The genus Enicospilus belongs to the diverse parasitoid wasp family Ichneumonidae, one of the largest families of insects. Members of this genus are generally recognized by their distinctive wing venation and body proportions. This species is part of the subfamily Ophioninae or related groups within Ichneumonidae, though precise subfamilial placement requires further verification.
Eparces quadriceps
Eparces quadriceps is a Nearctic ichneumonid wasp in subfamily Ichneumoninae, first described by Cresson in 1867. The species has been recorded from multiple states across the United States, with recent taxonomic revision providing updated nomenclatural clarification and new distributional records. As a member of the parasitoid wasp family Ichneumonidae, it likely functions as a parasitoid of other insects, though specific host associations remain undocumented in available sources.
