Pristocera
Pristocera is a genus of chrysidoid wasps in the family Bethylidae, distributed across the Old World. Males are distinguished by a hypopygium split into two separate plates, while females possess petiolar flaps. The genus comprises numerous species, with documented diversity in Africa, Asia, and Papua New Guinea. At least one species, Pristocera rufa, is known to be a gregarious ectoparasitoid of weevil larvae.
