''Chrysis angustula'' is a species of cuckoo wasps, insects in the family Chrysididae. Subspecies Subspecies include: * ''Chrysis angustula alpina'' Niehuis, 2000 * ''Chrysis angustula angustula'' Schenck, 1856 Distribution This rather common Trans-Palearctic species is widespread in most of Europe. southwestern Asia, Siberia and China. Habitat These wasps mainly occurs on wooded pastures, sparse forests, forest margins, clearings, gardens and parks, preferably with sun-exposed dead trees and stumps. They can be easily found also on walls of wooden buildings, old wood's doors, poles, log piles and dead tree trunks. Description ''Chrysis angustula'' can reach a body length of about . These relatively small cuckoo wasps are part of the difficult-to-determine ''Chrysis ignita'' complex, with more than ten similar species.

Adolph Schenck
Adolph Schenck (born 11 April 1803 in Dillenburg, Germany, died February 23, 1878 ) was a German entomologist and teacher. Philipp Adolph Schenck was a son of Judicial Counselor and mining assessor, Johann Jacob Schenck (born May 23, 1763 in Siegen, Germany, February 14, 1805 in Dillenburg) and Sophie Karoline, b. Jaeckel, from Herborn (Hesse), Herborn (1767-1836). At the age of 9, he suffered a knee injury while playing, which developed into a paralysis of the right leg which meant that he had to use a walking aid for a long time. Despite this disability he was able to collect entomological specimens in the field and amass an important collection, including the discovery of an otherwise Mediterranean species of spider wasp. Schenck attended the Boys' School (''Pädagogium'') in Dillenburg until 1818, then the Grammar School in Weilburg (''Gymnasium Philippinum Weilburg''), where he took the Abitur in 1821. He then studied philology, natural sciences and pedagogy at the University ... [...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. Appear ...

Prosopis Gibba
''Prosopis'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It contains around 45 species of spiny trees and shrubs found in subtropical and tropical regions of the Americas, Africa, Western Asia, and South Asia. They often thrive in arid soil and are resistant to drought, on occasion developing extremely deep root systems. Their wood is usually hard, dense and durable. Their fruits are pods and may contain large amounts of sugar. The generic name means "burdock" in late Latin and originated in the Greek language.

Trypoxylon Figulus
''Trypoxylon'' is a genus of wasps in the family Crabronidae. All ''Trypoxylon'' species that have been studied so far are active hunters of spiders, which they paralyse with a venomous sting, to provide as food to their developing larvae. Depending on the species, they will either construct their own nest from mud or find cavities that already exist. These cavities can range from keyholes to nail holes to previously abandoned nests, and are generally sealed with mud to create cells for their larvae. Worldwide distribution The 634 species in this most speciose genus are found worldwide being represented in the Palearctic, Nearctic, Afrotropic (largest number of species in the Old World), Neotropic (highest number of species), Australasia (poorly represented) and Indomalayan realm.

Ancistrocerus
''Ancistrocerus'' is a widely distributed genus of potter wasps present in many biogeographical regions of the world. They are nonpetiolate eumenine wasps with a transverse ridge at the bending summit of the first metasomal tergum and with a low and opaque propodeal lamella completely fused to the submarginal carina. The name of this genus (meaning "hooked horn" for the back-curved last segments of the antennae characteristic of males of this genus and most other potter wasp genera) has been widely used as root in the construction of many other genus-level names for potter wasps with a nonpetiolated metasoma and normally bearing a transverse ridge on the first metasomal tergum, such as '' Ancistroceroides'', ''Parancistrocerus ''Parancistrocerus'' is a rather large genus of potter wasps whose distribution spans the Nearctic, eastern Palearctic, Oriental and Neotropical regions.
