Acroricnus stylator edwardsii
Acroricnus stylator edwardsii is a subspecies of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae. It is known as a parasite of mud dauber wasps, specifically targeting the nests of the Black and Yellow Mud Dauber (Sceliphron caementarium). The species was described by Cresson in 1879. Like other members of the genus Acroricnus, it likely possesses the elongated body and prominent ovipositor characteristic of ichneumon wasps that parasitize concealed hosts in mud nests or wood.
