Ammophilinae
Ammophilinae is a subfamily of thread-waisted wasps in the family Sphecidae. There are about 6 genera and more than 320 described species in Ammophilinae. Genera These six genera belong to the subfamily Ammophilinae: * '' Ammophila'' W. Kirby, 1798 * '' Eremnophila'' Menke, 1964 * '' Eremochares'' Gribodo, 1883 * '' Hoplammophila'' de Beaumont, 1960 * '' Parapsammophila'' Taschenberg, 1869 * ''Podalonia ''Podalonia'' is a genus of parasitoidal wasps in the family Sphecidae.

Thread-waisted Wasp
The Sphecidae are a cosmopolitan family of wasps of the suborder Apocrita that includes sand wasps, mud daubers, and other thread-waisted wasps. The name Sphecidae was formerly given to a much larger grouping of wasps. This was found to be paraphyletic, so most of the old subfamilies have been moved to the Crabronidae. Biology The biology of the Sphecidae, even under the restricted definition, is still fairly diverse; some sceliphrines even display rudimentary forms of sociality, and some sphecines rear multiple larvae in a single large brood cell. Many nest in pre-existing cavities, or dig simple burrows in the soil, but some species construct free-standing nests of mud and even (in one genus) resin. All are predatory and parasitoidal, but the type of prey ranges from spiders to various dictyopterans, orthopteroids and larvae of either Lepidoptera or other Hymenoptera; the vast majority practice mass provisioning, providing all the prey items prior to laying the egg.

Ammophila (wasp)
''Ammophila'' is the type genus of the subfamily Ammophilinae of the hunting wasp family Sphecidae. ''Ammophila'' is a large and cosmopolitan genus, with over 200 species, mostly occurring in the warmer regions of all continents apart from Antarctica. Vernacular names They sometimes are referred to as "thread-waisted wasps", but the name is not definitive, because many other members of the Sphecidae are thread-waisted, too, and referred to as such. Sometimes Ammophiline wasps are referred to as "sand wasps"; this may be better because it is consistent with the name ''Ammophila'', which derives from the Greek for "sand lover", presumably because many species dig their nests in sand. However, as is frequent in dealing with common names, no definitive common name for the Ammophilinae exists; entomologists usually confine themselves to the technical names for convenience and clarity. Morphology and habits As is frequent in large genera, considerable variation occurs in their habi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eremochares
''Eremochares ''is a genus of wasp in the family Crabronidae The Crabronidae are a large paraphyletic group (nominally a family) of wasps, including nearly all of the species formerly comprising the now-defunct superfamily Sphecoidea. It collectively includes well over 200 genera, containing well over 9 .... Species The genus ''Eremochares'' contains 6 extant species: * '' Eremochares clypevariatus'' Yan and Ma, 2015 * '' Eremochares dives'' ( Brullé, 1833) * '' Eremochares ferghanicus'' ( Gussakovskij, 1930) * '' Eremochares kohlii'' ( Gussakovskij, 1928) * '' Eremochares luteus'' ( Taschenberg, 1869) * '' Eremochares mirabilis'' ( Gussakovskij, 1928) References {{Taxonbar, from=Q4038176 Sphecidae Apoidea genera ...

Podalonia P1500973a
''Podalonia'' is a genus of parasitoidal wasps in the family Sphecidae. The genus is present worldwide with the exception of South America. These wasps are similar to the related sand wasps ('' Ammophila''), but they have a much shorter petiole and the abdomen is slightly stronger. The thorax bears a small white patch. The females lay their nests in the sand. They normally incubate in large, hairless caterpillars of moths (Noctuidae). Species This genus includes about 66 species: *'' Podalonia affinis'' (W. Kirby, 1798) *'' Podalonia afghanica'' Balthasar, 1957 *'' Podalonia albohirsuta'' (Tsuneki, 1971) *'' Podalonia alpina'' (Kohl, 1888) *'' Podalonia altaiensis'' (Tsuneki, 1971) *'' Podalonia andrei'' (F.
