Zaeucoila robusta
Zaeucoila robusta is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Figitidae, subfamily Eucoilinae. First described by Ashmead in 1894 as Chrestosema robusta, this species is now placed in the genus Zaeucoila. Members of this genus are known as figitid wasps that parasitize dipteran larvae, particularly those associated with decaying organic matter. The species has been recorded from Brazil and Canada.
Zaglyptus pictilis
Zaglyptus pictilis is a species of ichneumon wasp described by Townes in 1960. It belongs to the genus Zaglyptus, a group of parasitoid wasps within the large family Ichneumonidae. The species is known from limited collection records and appears to be rarely encountered in the field. As with other Zaglyptus species, it is presumed to be a parasitoid of lepidopteran larvae, though direct host records for this specific species remain undocumented.
Zaglyptus varipes
Zaglyptus varipes is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, first described by Gravenhorst in 1829. The species is documented from multiple localities in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada. Like other members of its genus, it is presumed to be a parasitoid wasp, though specific host associations remain unverified. The species name 'varipes' refers to variable legs, a morphological trait characteristic of this taxon.
Zagrammosoma interlineatum
Zagrammosoma interlineatum is a species of chalcid wasp in the family Eulophidae, elevated from synonymy in a 2021 revision of the genus. It belongs to a group of small parasitoid wasps commonly known as "tattooed wasps" for their distinctive body markings. The genus Zagrammosoma is worldwide in distribution and morphologically distinct from the related genus Cirrospilus. Species in this genus are generally associated with leaf-mining insects as hosts.
