Rhyssa lineolata
Rhyssa lineolata is a species of ichneumonid wasp in the genus Rhyssa. The species has been documented in North America with records from Canada (Edmonton, George L) and the United States (Vermont). A photographic study has documented its host location and oviposition mechanisms, indicating it is a parasitoid wasp that locates hosts and deposits eggs using specialized behaviors. Like other members of the genus Rhyssa, it is presumed to be associated with wood-boring hosts, though specific host records for this species were not available in the consulted sources.
