Cyphononyx Fulvognathus
''Cyphononyx fulvognathus'' is a species of insect from the genus ''Cyphononyx''. It was originally described by Sievert Allen Rohwer in 1911. ''Cyphononyx fulvognathus'' is a solitary wasp that can be found in south-east Asia, notably between Japan, Taiwan and the south of China. In Japan, it is the only species from the genus Cyphononyx. Females have a body length between 17.0 and 26.1 mm and a forewing length between 15.1 and 22.0m. Males are notably smaller with a body length between 10.5 and 18.9 mm and a forewing length between 10.9 and 17.6 mm. Range The documented distribution of ''C. fulvognathus'' ranges from Japan, through Taiwan to south China. This is confirmed with recent observations through crowd-sourcing initiatives, which also observes the species in South Korea.

Species
A species () is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. It is the basic unit of Taxonomy (biology), classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology (biology), morphology, behaviour, or ecological niche. In addition, palaeontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. About 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a binomial nomenclature, two-part name, a "binomen". The first part of a binomen is the name of a genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name (zoology), specific name or the specific ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...

Sievert Allen Rohwer
Sievert Allen Rohwer (22 December 1887 in Telluride, Colorado, Telluride – 12 February 1951) was an American entomologist who specialized in Hymenoptera. He was a graduate of the University of Colorado. At the time of his death, Rohwer was serving as the Coordinator Defense Activities for the Agricultural Research Administration within the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Rohwer worked for the USDA from 1909 until his death. Rohwer wrote ''Technical papers on miscellaneous forest insects. II. The genotypes of the sawflies or woodwasps, or the superfamily Tenthredinoidea''. Technical series US Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Entomology, Washington, DC 20: 69–109 (1911) and many papers describing new species of Hymenoptera.

Vertex (anatomy)
In arthropod and vertebrate anatomy, the vertex (or ''cranial vertex'') is the highest point of the head. In humans, the vertex is formed by four bones of the skull: the frontal bone, the two parietal bones, and the occipital bone. These bones are connected by the coronal suture between the frontal and parietal bones, the sagittal suture between the two parietal bones, and the lambdoid suture between the parietal and occipital bones. ''Vertex baldness'' refers to a form of male pattern baldness in which the baldness is limited to the vertex, resembling a tonsure. In childbirth, ''vertex birth'' refers to the common head-first presentation of the baby, as opposed to the buttocks-first position of a breech birth. In entomology, the color and shape of an insect's vertex and the structures arising from it are commonly used in identifying species.

Pompilidae
Wasps in the family Pompilidae are commonly called spider wasps, spider-hunting wasps, or pompilid wasps. The family is cosmopolitan, with some 5,000 species in six subfamilies. Nearly all species are solitary (with the exception of some group-nesting Ageniellini), and most capture and paralyze prey, though members of the subfamily Ceropalinae are kleptoparasites of other pompilids, or ectoparasitoids of living spiders. In South America, species may be referred to colloquially as or , though these names can be generally applied to any very large stinging wasps. Furthermore, in some parts of Venezuela and Colombia, it is called , or "horse killers", while in Brazil some particular bigger and brighter species of the general kind might be called /, or "throat locker". Morphology Like other strong fliers, pompilids have a thorax modified for efficient flight. The metathorax is solidly fused to the pronotum and mesothorax; moreover, the prothorax is best developed in Pompilidae ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
