Ambositrinae

	Ambositrinae Ambositrinae is a subfamily of parasitoid wasps, within Diapriidae. The subfamily was first described by Canadian entomologist Lubomir Masner in 1961. Most species have a Gondwanan distribution, being found in Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand and South America. Taxonomy Ambositrinae contains the following genera: * ''Acanthobetyla'' * ''Ambositra (genus), Ambositra'' * ''Archaeopria'' * ''Betyla'' * ''Diphoropria'' * ''Gwaihiria'' * ''Maoripria'' * ''Pantolytomyia'' * ''Parabetyla'' * ''Propsilomma'' * ''Zealaptera'' References Parasitica Parasitic wasps Diapriidae Taxa described in 1961 Apocrita subfamilies {{Apocrita-stub ...

picture info	Diapriidae The Diapriidae are a family of parasitoid wasps. These tiny insects have an average length of 2–4 mm and never exceed 8 mm. They typically attack larvae and pupae of a wide range of insects, especially flies. The about 2,300 described species in around 200 described genera are divided into three subfamilies, and the group has a global distribution. Diapriids show considerable diversity of form, with aptery (lack of wings) fairly common, sometimes in both sexes. Nearly all species exhibit noticeable sexual dimorphism, with males and females often mistaken for separate species. The wings, when present, show characteristically reduced venation, with the greatest reduction in the subfamilies Ambositrinae and Diapriinae.

	Maoripria Earlyi ''Maoripria earlyi'' is a species of parasitoid wasps in the family Diapriidae. It was first described by Australian entomologist Ian D. Naumann in 1988. Description ''Maoripria earlyi'' measure between 1.5mm and 2.9mm in length, with males tending to be smaller, and are reddish orange to yellow in colour. The wings of both sexes are minute and lack veins. Etymology The species was named after New Zealand entomologist John W. Early, who identified many of the early type specimens. Distribution The species is endemic to New Zealand. Many specimens have been collected from fern and moss found in podocarp forests of the lower North and South Islands, including Fiordland National Park, Mount Aspiring National Park, Ruahine Forest Park and the Tararua Ranges The Tararua Range, often referred to as the Tararua Ranges or Tararua, is one of several mountain ranges in the North Island of New Zealand. The Tararua Range runs northeast–southwest for from near Palmerston Nor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Parasitic Wasps 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 beetles, flies, or 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 mutualistic relationship with polydnaviruses, the viru ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Parasitica Parasitica (the parasitican wasps) is an obsolete, paraphyletic infraorder of Apocrita containing the parasitoid wasps. It includes all Apocrita except for the Aculeata. Parasitica has more members as a group than both the Symphyta and the Aculeata combined. Parasitica also contains groups of phytophagous hymenopterans such as the Cynipoidea The Cynipoidea are a moderate-sized hymenopteran superfamily that presently includes five modern families and three extinct families, though others have been recognized in the past. The most familiar members of the group are phytophagous, especia ... (gall wasps). References External links Parasiticaat bugguide Insect infraorders Paraphyletic groups {{Apocrita-stub ...
