Chyphotes cooki
Chyphotes cooki is a species of wasp in the family Chyphotidae, a group of small, solitary wasps within the order Hymenoptera. The genus Chyphotes is part of the Bradynobaenidae sensu lato, a lineage of aculeate wasps that are poorly studied and rarely encountered. Records of this species are extremely limited, with only two observations documented on iNaturalist. The biology and ecology of Chyphotes cooki remain largely unknown due to its rarity and the secretive habits typical of chyphotid wasps.
