  • Deretaphrini

    Deretaphrini is a tribe of beetles within the family Bothrideridae, a group of Coleoptera commonly known as parasitic flat bark beetles. Members of this tribe are small, often flattened beetles associated with wood-boring insects. The tribe is relatively small and poorly studied compared to other bothriderid groups. Deretaphrini species are presumed to be parasitoids or predators of other insects, particularly beetles developing in dead or decaying wood.

  • Labena

    Labena is a genus of ichneumon wasps in the family Ichneumonidae, subfamily Labeninae. The genus contains at least 40 described species distributed primarily in the New World. Species have been documented from North America through Central America, including the Yucatán Peninsula. Labena species are associated with wood-boring beetles, with at least one species documented in proximity to the cerambycid Callidiellum rufipenne.
