Bicyrtes Viduatus
''Bicyrtes viduatus'' is a species of sand wasp in the family Crabronidae. It is found in Central America. It is characterized by a pale yellow coloration, while lacking the thoracic "smiley face" pattern present on Bicyrtes capnopterus and Bicyrtes ventralis, the other two species in Bicyrtes ''Bicyrtes'' is a genus of large, often brightly coloured predatory sand wasps. Many species in this genus provision their nests with paralyzed Pentatomidae, while other species make use of Reduviidae and Coreidae instead. This genus gets it ... having a yellow coloration. Additionally, the submarginal cell is clouded, while the wings remain largely clear. References Further reading * * * Crabronidae Insects described in 1889 {{apoidea-stub ...

{{Animal common name ...
A sand wasp is a wasp of one of the following groups: * '' Ammophila'', a narrow-waisted genus of hunting wasps that often nests in sandy soil * Bembicini The Bembicini, or sand wasps, are a large tribe of crabronid wasps, comprising 20 genera. Bembicines are predators on various groups of insects. The type of prey captured tends to be rather consistent within each genus, with flies (Diptera) bei ...

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 9000 species. Crabronids were originally a part of Sphecidae, but the latter name is now restricted to a separate family based on what was once the subfamily Sphecinae. Several of the subfamilies of Crabronidae are often treated as families in their own right, as is true of the most recent phylogenies (example below). Phylogeny This phylogenetic tree is based on Sann ''et al.'', 2018, which used phylogenomics to demonstrate that both the bees (Anthophila) and the Sphecidae arose from within the former Crabronidae, which is therefore paraphyletic, and which they suggested should be split into several families; the former family Heterogynaidae nests within the Bembicidae, as here defined. These findings differ in several details from studie ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Central America
Central America ( es, América Central or ) is a subregion of the Americas. Its boundaries are defined as bordering the United States to the north, Colombia to the south, the Caribbean Sea to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Central America consists of eight countries: Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama. Within Central America is the Mesoamerican biodiversity hotspot, which extends from northern Guatemala to central Panama. Due to the presence of several active geologic faults and the Central America Volcanic Arc, there is a high amount of seismic activity in the region, such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes which has resulted in death, injury, and property damage. In the pre-Columbian era, Central America was inhabited by the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica to the north and west and the Isthmo-Colombian peoples to the south and east. Following the Spanish expedition of Christopher Columbus' ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Bicyrtes
''Bicyrtes'' is a genus of large, often brightly coloured predatory sand wasps. Many species in this genus provision their nests with paralyzed Pentatomidae, while other species make use of Reduviidae and Coreidae instead. This genus gets its name ("two-humped") from the two noticeable projections arising from the rear of the mesosoma (middle segment). Selected species * '' Bicyrtes affinis'' (Cameron, 1897) * '' Bicyrtes capnopterus'' (Handlirsch, 1889) * '' Bicyrtes diodontus'' (Handlirsch, 1889) * '' Bicyrtes discisus'' (Taschenberg, 1870) * '' Bicyrtes fodiens'' (Handlirsch, 1889) * '' Bicyrtes insidiatrix'' (Handlirsch, 1889) * '' Bicyrtes quadrifasciatus'' (Say, 1824) * '' Bicyrtes spinosus'' (Fabricius, 1794) * '' Bicyrtes variegatus'' (Olivier, 1789) * '' Bicyrtes viduatus'' (Handlirsch, 1889) * '' Bicyrtes ventralis'' (Say, 1824) References Crabronidae Apoidea genera Taxa named by Amédée Louis Michel le Peletier {{Apoidea-stub ...
