Lelaps Striaticeps
''Lelaps striaticeps'' is a species of Hymenoptera in the family Diparidae Diparidae is a family of chalcid wasps. This group was formerly treated as Diparinae, a subfamily of Pteromalidae. Most diparids are collected from leaf litter in forests, where they are known to parasitise weevils, although diparids have been .... The scientific name of this species was first published 1911 by Strand. References {{Taxonbar, from=Q13389600 Diparidae ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Embrik Strand
Embrik Strand (2 June 1876 – 3 November 1947) was an entomologist and arachnologist who classified many insect and spider species including the greenbottle blue tarantula. Life and career Strand was born in Ål, Norway. He studied at the University of Kristiania (now University of Oslo). Around 1900 he focused on collecting insect specimens from Norway. These are now deposited at the university's museum, where he worked as a curator from 1901 to 1903. After studying at the University of Oslo Strand traveled in Norway from 1898 to 1903 collecting a great number of insects. For part of this time (1901–1903) he was a conservator in the museum of zoology of the university. He then left for Germany where he continued his studies of zoology at the University of Marburg (1903), then he worked with State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart (1905) and, later, that of Tübingen and then with Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt. From 1907, he worked with Natural History Museum, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hymenoptera
Hymenoptera is a large order of insects, comprising the sawflies, wasps, bees, and ants. Over 150,000 living species of Hymenoptera have been described, in addition to over 2,000 extinct ones. Many of the species are parasitic. Females typically have a special ovipositor for inserting eggs into hosts or places that are otherwise inaccessible. This ovipositor is often modified into a stinger. The young develop through holometabolism (complete metamorphosis)—that is, they have a wormlike larval stage and an inactive pupal stage before they mature. Etymology The name Hymenoptera refers to the wings of the insects, but the original derivation is ambiguous. All references agree that the derivation involves the Ancient Greek πτερόν (''pteron'') for wing. The Ancient Greek ὑμήν (''hymen'') for membrane provides a plausible etymology for the term because species in this order have membranous wings. However, a key characteristic of this order is that the hindwings are co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Diparidae
Diparidae is a family of chalcid wasps. This group was formerly treated as Diparinae, a subfamily of Pteromalidae. Most diparids are collected from leaf litter in forests, where they are known to parasitise weevils, although diparids have been known to emerge from mantid egg cases and fly pupae. They are found almost worldwide, but appear to have Gondwanan roots, with most diversity (at genus level) in South Africa and Australia. Description Diparids often exhibit marked sexual dimorphism. Most known males have wings (they are macropterous), have filiform antennae, and males of different genera appear morphologically similar. Females, however, show far more morphological variation; they may be macropterous, brachypterous (reduced wings), or apterous (wingless), and often have clavate antennae. Distinguishing features include: Antenna with 12 flagellomeres, including a small fourth clavomere; The labrum is flexible, subrectangular, and hidden behind the clypeus; labrum wit ...
