Ancistrocerus Densepilosellus
''Ancistrocerus'' is a widely distributed genus of potter wasps present in many biogeographical regions of the world. They are Petiole (insect anatomy), nonpetiolate eumenine wasps with a transverse ridge at the bending summit of the first metasomal tergum and with a low and opaque propodeal lamella completely fused to the submarginal carina. The name of this genus (meaning "hooked horn" for the back-curved last segments of the Antenna (biology), antennae characteristic of males of this genus and most other potter wasp genera) has been widely used as root in the construction of many other genus-level names for potter wasps with a nonpetiolated metasoma and normally bearing a transverse ridge on the first metasomal tergum, such as ''Ancistroceroides'', ''Parancistrocerus'', ''Orancistrocerus'', ''Tachyancistrocerus, etc. Species The Interim Register of Marine and Nonmarine Genera (IRMNG) lists the following 211 recognized species in the genus: There are further species not lis ...

Constantin Wesmael
Constantin Wesmael (4 October 1798, in City of Brussels, Brussels – 26 October 1872, near to Saint-Josse-ten-Noode) was a Belgians, Belgian entomologist. Life Of modest origin, he was granted a bursary to study law. He taught, initially, humanities in Charleroi before teaching sciences at the Athenaeum of Brussels. He was, next a professor of zoology at the school of veterinary surgeon and agriculture. He specialized in Ichneumonidae. Collection According to a note made by Edmond de Sélys Longchamps, Baron de Sélys Longchamps, Wesmael gave his Braconidae to Alexander Henry Haliday, Mr. Haliday, without knowing however that this Irish scientist would be later established in Italy, and that after his death his collection would pass via Edward Perceval Wright to Dublin Museum. However, in the copy of the biography of Wesmael by Selys, Jean-Charles Jacobs, Dr. Jacobs noted next to the sentence written by Selys (p. 235) (He gave his Braconides to Mr. Haliday), this note ...

Ancistrocerus Antilope
''Ancistrocerus antilope'' is a species of wasp of the family Vespidae. Description This species is similar to the rarer '' A. spinolae'', with differences including a shining, impunctate propodeum and a pair of yellow spots on the female's scutellum. Range ''Ancistrocerus antilope'' is present in all Canadian provinces and all continental U.S. states except Alaska, Alabama, and Florida, as well as Europe to Siberia Siberia ( ; , ) is an extensive geographical region comprising all of North Asia, from the Ural Mountains in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east. It has formed a part of the sovereign territory of Russia and its predecessor states .... Ecology ''A. antilope'' is known to nest in hollow twigs, similar to many Megachilid bees, and the parasite '' Leucospis affinis'' has been found in the nests of ''A. antilope''. Whether the parasites can successfully complete their life cycle using the wasp as a host in unknown. References Potter wasps ...
