Pamphilidae
Pamphiliidae (sometimes incorrectly spelled Pamphilidae) is a small wasp family within Symphyta, containing some 200 species from the temperate regions of North America and Eurasia. The larvae feed on plants (often conifers), using silk to build webs or tents, or to roll leaves into tubes in which they feed, thus earning them the common names leaf-rolling sawflies or web-spinning sawflies. Some species are gregarious and the larvae live in large groups. Fossils of Pamphiliidae have been dated to the Jurassic period. They are distinguished from the closely related Megalodontesidae by their simple, filiform antennae. Taxonomy The family is currently divided into three subfamilies based on phylogenetic analysis of both extant and extinct species. *Cephalciinae Benson, 1945 **''Acantholyda'' Costa, 1894 **''Caenolyda'' Konow, 1897 **''Cephalcia'' Panzer, 1805 **'' Chinolyda'' Beneš, 1968 *Juralydinae **†'' Atocus'' Scudder, 1892 **†'' Juralyda'' Rasnitsyn, 1977 **''Neurotoma ...

Sawfly Families
Sawflies are the insects of the suborder Symphyta within the order Hymenoptera, alongside ants, bees, and wasps. The common name comes from the saw-like appearance of the ovipositor, which the females use to cut into the plants where they lay their eggs. The name is associated especially with the Tenthredinoidea, by far the largest superfamily in the suborder, with about 7,000 known species; in the entire suborder, there are 8,000 described species in more than 800 genera. Symphyta is paraphyletic, consisting of several basal groups within the order Hymenoptera, each one rooted inside the previous group, ending with the Apocrita which are not sawflies. The primary distinction between sawflies and the Apocrita – the ants, bees, and wasps – is that the adults lack a "wasp waist", and instead have a broad connection between the abdomen and the thorax. Some sawflies are Batesian mimics of wasps and bees, and the ovipositor can be mistaken for a stinger. Sawflies vary in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ulteramus
''Ulteramus'' is an extinct genus of parasitic wasp in the sawfly family Pamphiliidae. The genus is solely known from an Eocene fossil found in North America. At the time of its description the new genus was composed of a single species, ''Ulteramus republicensis''. History and classification ''Ulteramus republicensis'' is known only from one fossil, the part side of the holotype, specimen number UWBM 77532, which is housed in the collections of the Burke Museum of Natural History in Seattle, Washington. The specimen is preserved as a compression fossil in silty yellow to grayish shale, which was recovered from outcrops of the Tom Thumb Tuff member of the Klondike Mountain Formation in 1993 by Wesley Wehr. The formation is approximately Early Eocene, Ypresian in age, being radiometrically dated as . ''Ulteramus'' was first studied by the paleoentomologists S. Bruce Archibald from Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia and Alexandr Rasnitsyn of the A. A. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
