Irenangelus

	Irenangelus ''Irenangelus'' is a genus of kleptoparasitic spider wasps in the subfamily Ceropalinae of the family Pompilidae. The genus has a pantropical distribution, occurring in the Oriental, Neotropical, Australian, eastern Palearctic, and Madagascan zoogeographic regions, with the highest diversity found in the Neotropics. ''Irenangelus'' is closely related to the more widespread genus '' Ceropales'', with both forming a monophyletic subfamily, Ceropalinae, within the Pompilidae. This subfamily is considered the most basal lineage of the Pompilidae. However, this classification is debated due to the kleptoparasitic life history of ceropalines. Current research suggests that Ceropalinae and other pompilids evolved from a common ectoparasitoid ancestor. Biology In the Philippines, species of ''Irenangelus'' are known to be kleptoparasites of '' Auplopus nyemitawa'' and '' Tachypompilus analis''. Additionally, ''I. eberhardi'' is a kleptoparasite of '' Auplopus semialatus''. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Tachypompilus Analis ''Tachypompilus analis'', the red-tailed spider wasp is a species of spider wasp found in most of tropical and subtropical Asia, north to Japan. These spider wasps often hunt huntsman spiders. Description ''T. analis'' is a medium-sized to large wasp with females in mainland China measuring between 16 and 21 mm, while the smaller males measure 11 mm in length; island populations tend to be smaller. It is almost completely black except for the last four, in females, or last five , in males, metasomal segments, which are bright orange or red and give rise to the common name, red-tailed spider wasp. Biology ''T. anailis'' preys on spiders from the families Sparassidae, Agelenidae, and Amaurobiidae. In Japan, ''Heteropoda venatoria'' has been recorded being preyed on by this species. The wasp can easily penetrate the most complex webs and the prey is flushed and pursued; the web does provide some protection for the spider, but the wasp persists in attacking until the sp ...
