Rhyssa
''Rhyssa'' is a genus of ichneumon wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae subfamily Rhyssinae. Etymology The Latin name of the genus comes from the Greek and means "wrinkled". Description Female of this parasitic species drills deep into wood by its hair thin ovipositor (terebra) and lays its eggs on larvae living in timber, which become a food supply and an incubator for the progeny, until it is fully grown. Distribution Species of this genus are present in most of Europe, the Australian region, the Near East, in the Nearctic realm, the Indomalayan realm, and in North Africa North Africa, or Northern Africa is a region encompassing the northern portion of the African continent. There is no singularly accepted scope for the region, and it is sometimes defined as stretching from the Atlantic shores of Mauritania in t ....

Megarhyssa
''Megarhyssa'', also known as giant ichneumonid wasps, giant ichneumons, or stump stabbers, is a genus of large ichneumon wasps, with some species known for having the longest ovipositors of any insects. They are idiobiont endoparasitoids of the larvae of wood-boring horntail wasps. The ovipositor can be mistaken for a large stinger. Species Species within the genus: *''Megarhyssa arisana'' *''Megarhyssa atomistica'' *''Megarhyssa atrata'' *''Megarhyssa aurantia'' *''Megarhyssa babaulti'' *''Megarhyssa belulliflava'' *'' Megarhyssa bicolor'' *''Megarhyssa bonbonsana'' *''Megarhyssa cultrimacularis'' *''Megarhyssa fulvipennis'' *'' Megarhyssa gloriosa'' *''Megarhyssa greenei'' *'' Megarhyssa hainanensis'' *''Megarhyssa indica'' *''Megarhyssa insulana'' *''Megarhyssa jezoensis'' *''Megarhyssa laniaria'' *''Megarhyssa lenticula'' *''Megarhyssa longitubula'' *''Megarhyssa macrurus'' *''Megarhyssa middenensis'' *''Megarhyssa mirabilis'' *''Megarhyssa nortoni'' *'' Megarhyssa obtusa ...

Ichneumonidae
The Ichneumonidae, also known as the ichneumon wasps, Darwin wasps, or ichneumonids, are a family of parasitoid wasps of the insect order Hymenoptera. They are one of the most diverse groups within the Hymenoptera with roughly 25,000 species currently described. However, this likely represents less than a quarter of their true richness as reliable estimates are lacking, along with much of the most basic knowledge about their ecology, distribution, and evolution.Quicke, D. L. J. (2015). The braconid and ichneumonid parasitoid wasps: biology, systematics, evolution and ecology. Chichester: John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Ichneumonid wasps, with very few exceptions, attack the immature stages of holometabolous insects and spiders, eventually killing their hosts. They thus fulfill an important role as regulators of insect populations, both in natural and semi-natural systems, making them promising agents for biological control. The distribution of the ichneumonids was traditionally consi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Parasitoid Wasp
Parasitoid wasps are a large group of hymenopteran superfamilies, with all but the wood wasps ( Orussoidea) being in the wasp-waisted Apocrita. As parasitoids, they lay their eggs on or in the bodies of other arthropods, sooner or later causing the death of these hosts. Different species specialise in hosts from different insect orders, most often Lepidoptera, though some select Coleoptera, beetles, Diptera, flies, or Hemiptera, bugs; the spider wasps (Pompilidae) exclusively attack spiders. Parasitoid wasp species differ in which host life-stage they attack: eggs, larvae, pupae, or adults. They mainly follow one of two major strategies within parasitism: either they are endoparasitic, developing inside the host, and koinobiont, allowing the host to continue to feed, develop, and moult; or they are ectoparasitic, developing outside the host, and idiobiont, paralysing the host immediately. Some endoparasitic wasps of the superfamily Ichneumonoidea have a mutualism (biology), ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
