Gasteruption Assectator
''Gasteruption assectator'', the wild carrot wasp, is a species of carrot wasp in the family Gasteruptiidae. It is found in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. ''G. assectator'' is a generalist inquiline parasitoid of many other bee and wasp species such as ''Hylaeus confusus'', ''Hylaeus pectoralis'', and ''Pemphredon fabricii''.

Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné,#Blunt, Blunt (2004), p. 171. was a Swedish biologist and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was the son of a curate and was born in Råshult, in the countryside of Småland, southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gasteruptiidae
The Gasteruptiidae are one of the more distinctive families among the apocritan wasps, with surprisingly little variation in appearance for a group that contains around 500 species in two subfamilies (Gasteruptiinae and Hyptiogastrinae) and with six genera worldwide. They are members of Evanioidea. Genera This family includes the following genera in two subfamilies: * Gasteruptiinae Ashmead, 1900 ** ''Gasteruption'' Latreille, 1777 ** ''Plutofoenus'' Kieffer, 1911 ** ''Spinolafoenus'' Macedo, 2009 ** ''Trilobitofoenus'' Macedo, 2009 * Hyptiogastrinae ** ''Hyptiogaster'' Kieffer, 1903 ** ''Pseudofoenus'' Kieffer, 1902 Several fossil species are also known: *Hypselogastriinae **''Hypselogastrion'' Engel & Wang, 2016 Burmese amber, Myanmar, mid Cretaceous (latest Albian Sands, Albian - earliest Cenomanian) *Kotujellitinae **†''Kotujellites'' Rasnitsyn 1990 Taimyr amber, Russia Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) **†''Kotujisca'' Rasnitsyn 1991 Andaikhudag Formation, Mongolia, Early ...

Inquiline
In zoology, an inquiline (from Latin ''inquilinus'', "lodger" or "tenant") is an animal that lives commensally in the nest, burrow, or dwelling place of an animal of another species. For example, some organisms, such as insects, may live in the homes of gophers or the garages of humans and feed on debris, fungi, roots, etc. The most widely distributed types of inquiline are those found in association with the nests of social insects, especially ants and termites – a single colony may support dozens of different inquiline species. The distinctions between parasites, social parasites, and inquilines are subtle, and many species may fulfill the criteria for more than one of these, as inquilines do exhibit many of the same characteristics as parasites. However, parasites are specifically ''not'' inquilines, because by definition they have a deleterious effect on the host species, while inquilines have not been confirmed to do so. In the specific case of termites, the term " ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hylaeus Confusus
''Hylaeus confusus '' is a Palearctic species of solitary bee. It is known to nest in reed stalk gall Galls (from the Latin , 'oak-apple') or ''cecidia'' (from the Greek , anything gushing out) are a kind of swelling growth on the external tissues of plants. Plant galls are abnormal outgrowths of plant tissues, similar to benign tumors or war ...s.

Pemphredon
''Pemphredon'' is a genus of digger wasps in the family Pemphredonidae. The genus is common in the Holarctic, with 12 species represented in Europe. Several species are considered beneficial because of their specialization in aphids. Features ''Pemphredon'' species are often small and black coloured and have some similarity with ants. They have a short, furrowed abdominal stem, two submarginal cells in the forewing and a well developed head, especially behind the compound eyes. The species identification is difficult. Based on the course of the submarginal veins the genus is divided into three species groups, which some authors also regard as subgenera. These are the ''lugubris'', ''morio'' and ''lethifer'' groups. In the former, the outer vein of the second submarginal cell meets the marginal cell noticeably below the middle and the second returning vein ends in the second submarginal cell, which is usually longer than wide. In the ''morio'' group, the outer vein meets the ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gasteruption
''Gasteruption'' is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Gasteruptiidae subfamily Gasteruptiinae. World species These 64 species belong to the genus ''Gasteruption'': * ''Gasteruption assectator'' (Linnaeus, 1758) (wild carrot wasp) * '' Gasteruption boreale'' (Thomson, 1883) * ''Gasteruption canariae'' Madl, 1991 * '' Gasteruption caucasicum'' (Guerin-Meneville, 1844) * '' Gasteruption corniculigerum'' Enderlein, 1913 * '' Gasteruption dilutum'' Semenov, 1892 * '' Gasteruption dimidiatum'' Semenov, 1892 * '' Gasteruption diversipes'' (Abeille de Perrin, 1879) * '' Gasteruption dolichoderum'' Schletterer, 1889 * '' Gasteruption erythrostomum'' (Dahlbom, 1831) * '' Gasteruption expectatum'' Pasteels, 1957 * '' Gasteruption fallaciosum'' Semenov, 1892 * '' Gasteruption flavicuspis'' Kieffer, 1911 * '' Gasteruption floreum'' Szepligeti, 1903 * '' Gasteruption formilis'' Alekseev, 1995 * '' Gasteruption formosanum'' Enderlein, 1913 * '' Gasteruption forticorne'' Semenov, 1892 ...

Evanioidea
The Evanioidea are a small hymenopteran superfamily that includes three extant families, two of which (Aulacidae and Gasteruptiidae) are much more closely related to one another than they are to the remaining family, Evaniidae. The rich fossil record, however, helps fill in the gaps between these lineages. They all share the trait of having the metasoma attached very high above the hind arthropod leg, coxae on the propodeum. It is a poorly known group as a whole, with some 1100 known species in total, and a great many species are still undescribed. While each of the three families differs in biology, within each family, they are remarkably uniform in appearance and habits. The oldest records of the group date to the Middle Jurassic, and were diverse from the Middle Jurassic to mid Cretaceous, however, during the mid-Cretaceous they were overtaken in diversity by the Ichneumonoidea, and since the end of the Cretaceous have a relatively scant fossil record.

Wasps Described In 1758
A wasp is any insect of the narrow-waisted suborder Apocrita of the order Hymenoptera which is neither a bee nor an ant; this excludes the broad-waisted sawflies (Symphyta), which look somewhat like wasps, but are in a separate suborder. The wasps do not constitute a clade, a complete natural group with a single ancestor, as bees and ants are deeply nested within the wasps, having evolved from wasp ancestors. Wasps that are members of the clade Aculeata can sting their prey. The most commonly known wasps, such as yellowjackets and hornets, are in the family Vespidae and are eusocial, living together in a nest with an egg-laying queen and non-reproducing workers. Eusociality is favoured by the unusual haplodiploid system of sex determination in Hymenoptera, as it makes sisters exceptionally closely related to each other. However, the majority of wasp species are solitary, with each adult female living and breeding independently. Females typically have an ovipositor for lay ...
