Paramesius
Paramesius is a genus of minute parasitoid wasps in the family Diapriidae (order Hymenoptera). These insects are part of the diverse assemblage of proctotrupoid wasps that develop as parasitoids of other insects. The genus has been documented in northern Europe, with records from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Members of Diapriidae are generally associated with decaying organic matter where their hosts occur.
Vanhornia eucnemidarum
Vanhornia eucnemidarum is a species of parasitic wasp in the family Vanhorniidae, first described by Crawford in 1909. It is one of the few known species in this small family of Hymenoptera. The species is associated with eucnemid beetles, as indicated by its specific epithet. Very few observations exist in public databases, reflecting its rarity or cryptic nature.
