Guides

  • Acanosema

    Acanosema is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Diapriidae, first described by Jean-Jacques Kieffer in 1908. Members of this genus are small, inconspicuous wasps that develop as parasitoids, likely of other insects. The genus is documented from northern Europe, with records from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. As with many diapriid genera, detailed biological information remains limited due to their small size and cryptic habits.

  • Baeoneurella

    Baeoneurella is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Scelionidae, established by Alan Dodd in 1913. Members of this genus are small, solitary wasps that develop as parasitoids of insect eggs. The genus is poorly documented in scientific literature, with few species described and minimal biological data available.

  • Platygaster uvulariae

    Platygaster uvulariae is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Platygastridae. The genus Platygaster comprises minute wasps that are primarily parasitoids of gall midges (Cecidomyiidae). Species in this genus are typically associated with specific host plants through their gall midge hosts. The specific epithet "uvulariae" suggests an association with plants in the genus Uvularia (bellworts), likely indicating the host plant of the gall midge prey. Platygaster species are generally small, dark-colored wasps with reduced wing venation characteristic of the family.
