Anisepyris
Anisepyris is a genus of flat wasps in the family Bethylidae, subfamily Epyrinae. The genus contains 13 recognized species-groups and is primarily distributed in the Neotropical region with limited representation in the Nearctic. A recent phylogenetic analysis based on 120 morphological characters across 72 operational taxonomic units resolved well-supported relationships among species and identified key synapomorphies. The genus is hypothesized to have a relatively recent origin, with historical dispersal patterns linked to dense forest habitats.
