Trichrysis Cyanea
''Trichrysis cyanea'' is a species of cuckoo wasps, insects in the family Chrysididae. Distribution This species is widespread in most of Europe and northern Africa throughout the Palearctic realm (central Asia, Siberia, Korea, China, and Japan). Habitat These wasps inhabit forest margins, clearings and areas with sun-exposed dead trees and tree stumps, usually nesting sites of its hosts. Description ''Trichrysis cyanea'' can reach a body length of about . These small sized cuckoo wasps have an elongated and completely blue-green or violet colored body, but males are often completely or partly black. The posterior margin of the third tergite of the abdomen shows three small wide teeth. The first tergite has a smooth middle furrow. This species is very similar to the species of the genus Chrysis. Biology The adults can be found in several generations from May to October, but mainly during June and July. These wasps parasitizes mainly on wasps of the group '' Trypoxylon figulus ...

Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (; 23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after his ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné Blunt (2004), p. 171. (), was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was born in Råshult, the countryside of Småland, in 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 continued to coll ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pemphredon Lethifera
''Pemphredon'' is a genus of digger wasps (Spheciformes) from the family Crabronidae. The genus is common in the Holarctic, 12 species are represented in Europe. Several species are considered beneficial because of their specialization in aphids. Features The ''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 o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hymenoptera Of Asia
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 a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chrysidinae
The subfamily Chrysidinae contains those species that are most commonly recognized as cuckoo wasps, being by far the largest and most familiar subfamily. The group contains 3000 species with 48 genera worldwide. They are highly sculptured, with brilliantly metallic-colored bodies, covering the entire spectrum, but primarily blues and greens. Taxonomy and Range The subfamily Chrysidinae is divided into five tribes: Chrysidini, Elampini, Parnopini, Kimseyini, and Allocoeliini, the first two of which are abundant and widespread. Allocoeliini is found in South Africa and the Kimseyini has a single genus and species in Uzbekistan. Ecology Chrysidinae are the most diverse in desert regions of the world, as they are typically associated with solitary bee and wasp species, which are also the most diverse in such areas. They are very active in dry, warm, and open areas between the months of May and August. The adults consume flower nectar, while looking for nests for their eggs. Appe ...

Chelostoma Florisomne
''Chelostoma florisomne'', the large scissor-bee, is a species of hymenopteran in the family Megachilidae. Etymology The Latin species name ''florisomne'' refers to the habit of some males to sleep inside the buttercup flowers. Distribution and habitat The area of distribution covers most of Europe (Austria, Belgium, British Islands, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, European Russia, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Switzerland) and North Africa. These bees occur in forests, meadow, slopes and orchards, where buttercups (Ranunculus species) are present. Description ''Chelostoma florisomne'' can reach a body length of about .M EdwardBWARS - Bees, Wasps & Ants Recording Society/ref> These bees have a slender, cylindrical shaped black body, with white short fringe bands along the posterior margins of the tergites, that are usually filled with pollen of the preferred pollen host.

Osmia Giraudi
Mason bee is a name now commonly used for species of bees in the genus ''Osmia'', of the family Megachilidae. Mason bees are named for their habit of using mud or other "masonry" products in constructing their nests, which are made in naturally occurring gaps such as between cracks in stones or other small dark cavities. When available, some species preferentially use hollow stems or holes in wood made by wood-boring insects. Species of the genus include the orchard mason bee '' O. lignaria'', the blueberry bee '' O. ribifloris'', the hornfaced bee '' O. cornifrons'', and the red mason bee '' O. bicornis''. The former two are native to the Americas, the third to eastern Asia, and the latter to the European continent, although ''O. lignaria'' and ''O. cornifrons'' have been moved from their native ranges for commercial purposes. Over 300 species are found across the Northern Hemisphere. Most occur in temperate habitats within the Palearctic and Nearctic zones, and are active from ...

Psenulus Pallipesi
''Psenulus'' is a genus of wasps in the family Crabronidae. The 160 species are found worldwide, but are best represented in the Indomalayan realm with 68. The Palearctic has 26, the Nearctic 4, and the Australasian realm 3. ''Psenulus'' is largely absent from South America (1 species) and entirely absent from Melanesia and Polynesia. A recent phylogenetic analysis provided strong evidence that this genus is the closest living relative to bees.

Pison Atrum
''Pison'' is a cosmopolitan genus of wasps within the family Crabronidae. The genus comprises 145 described species, although many species, especially in South America remain undescribed.Bohart, Richard Mitchell, and Arnold S. Menke. Sphecid wasps of the world: a generic revision. University of California Press, 1976. Distribution The genus is found throughout the tropical and warm temperate regions of the world, but does not extend into the more northerly temperate regions. Most species occur in the Southern Hemisphere, with a third of species occurring in Australia. This distribution pattern has been thought to indicate that the genus was once much larger, and has declined in the face of competition with more competitive wasp genera, leaving the genus largely concentrated in geographically-isolated regions.Turner, Rowland E.

Ectemnius Rubicolus
''Ectemnius'' is a genus of wasps in the family Crabronidae. 188 species are known. The genus is found around the world but Australia has only two species. ''Ectemnius'' species excavate nest tunnels in pieces of dead wood such as stumps, fallen tree trunks, rotting logs and sometimes building timbers or posts with the help of the mandibles. Nesting aggregations can be large and dense, and sometimes more than one female has been recorded using a common nest entrance. In most species the brood is supplied with Diptera from several different families.
