Dolichurus Guillarmodi
''Dolichurus'' is a genus of cockroach wasps in the family Ampulicidae; they are generally found on dead wood, leaf litter, or on tree trunks. There are at least 50 described species in ''Dolichurus''. These wasps are small in size (5-13 mm long) with an elongate body and slender appendages; legs are modified for running. Sexual dimorphism is not marked; antennae have 12 segments in females and 13 segments in males; females have six visible metasomal segments and males usually have only three visible segments. In females metasomal punctures are usually fine, almost impunctate with very sparse delicate punctures (surface glossy) but the metasomal punctures of males are usually coarser. Diagnostic characters of ''Dolichurus'' include a complete antennal platform that is not grooved or divided, and the absence of metallic coloration. The forewing has veins M and Cu diverging from M+Cu well after cu-a; there are three submarginal cells of which SM I is much less than twice as long as ...

Cockroach Wasp
Ampulicidae, or cockroach wasps, are a small (about 170 species), primarily tropical family of Spheciformes, sphecoid wasps, all of which use various Blattodea, cockroaches as prey for their larvae. They are the most primitive family of sphecoid hunting wasps. They tend to have elongated jaws, pronounced neck-like constrictions behind the head, strongly Petiole (insect), petiolate abdomens, and deep grooves on the thorax. Many are quite ant-like in appearance, though some are brilliant metallic blue, green, and hot pink. Most species sting the roach more than once and in a specific way. The first sting is directed at nerve ganglia in the cockroach's thorax, temporarily paralyzing the victim for a few minutes – more than enough time for the wasp to deliver a second sting. The second sting is directed into a region of the cockroach's brain that controls the escape reflex, among other things. When the cockroach has recovered from the first sting, it makes no attempt to flee. The w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
