Parachartergus Weyrauchi
''Parachartergus'' is a genus of epiponine social wasps belonging to the subfamily Polistinae. Species include: *'' Parachartergus amazonensis'' *''Parachartergus apicalis'' - known to form mutualistic relationships with treehoppers. The male genitalia are noted for their movements of "startling complexity". *'' Parachartergus aztecus'' *''Parachartergus colobopterus'' - unusually nests contain several queens. The species is docile, preferring to leave the nest than mount an attack. *'' Parachartergus griseus'' (Fox, 1898) *''Parachartergus fasciipennis'' (Ducke, 1905) *'' Parachartergus flavofasciatus'' *'' Parachartergus fraternus'' (Gribodo, 1892) - closely related to ''P. apicalis'' and has been studied extensively *'' Parachartergus fulgidipennis'' *'' Parachartergus griseus'' *'' Parachartergus lenkoi'' *'' Parachartergus pseudoapicalis'' *'' Parachartergus richardsi'' (Willink, 1951) *'' Parachartergus smithii'' *'' Parachartergus tomentus'' *'' Parachartergus weyrauchi'' ...

Parachartergus Apicalis
''Parachartergus apicalis'' is a species of wasp in the Polistinae subfamily, found in the Neotropics. It was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1804. In Honduras, they are known as ', which translates into English as "white wings". Behaviour They have been observed to swarm when they move between nests, with the behaviour occurring between April and May in Paraguay. At times they form temporary compact clusters along the route of the swarm; each cluster is evenly spaced and individuals move from one clump to the next, with the clumps at the back shrinking, whilst those at the front grow. It is uncertain how they navigate between the clumps, but it is thought they use either visual or olfactory cues. False swarming can also occur when strong winds prevent foragers from entering the nest. They have been recorded to tend species of treehopper, plant sap-feeding insects, during the daytime, an example of a mutualistic relationship. The wasp protects the treehopper n ...

Parachartergus Fraternus
''Parachartergus fraternus'' is a neotropical, swarm founding, polistine wasp species that is distributed throughout Central and South America.Leonardo, Paula C., Flavio R. Andrade, and Fabio Prezoto. "Foraging Behavior in the Neotropical Swarm-founding Wasp Parachartergus Fraternus (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Polistinae: Epiponini) during Different Phases of the Biological Cycle." ''Sociobiology'' 42 (2003): 735–43. Web. 11 Oct. 2014. They live in nests in second growth tropical dry forests, near pasture fields, roadside areas, and urban areas as well.Olson, Eric J.
