Bombyliidae
The Bombyliidae are a family of flies, commonly known as bee flies. Adults generally feed on nectar and pollen, some being important pollinators. Larvae are mostly parasitoids of other insects. Overview The Bombyliidae are a large family of flies comprising hundreds of genera, but the life cycles of most species are known poorly, or not at all. They range in size from very small (2 mm in length) to very large for flies (wingspan of some 40 mm).Hull, Frank Montgomery, Bee flies of the world: the genera of the family Bombyliidae Washington, Smithsonian Institution Press 1973 . Downloadable from: https://archive.org/details/beefliesofworl2861973hull When at rest, many species hold their wings at a characteristic "swept back" angle. Adults generally feed on nectar and pollen, some being important pollinators, often with spectacularly long proboscises adapted to plants such as ''Lapeirousia'' species with very long, narrow floral tubes. Unlike butterflies, bee flies hold t ...

Odynerus
''Odynerus'' is a primarily Holarctic genus of potter wasps. The name of this genus has been widely used as a root to construct many other genus-level names for potter wasps with non-petiolated metasoma, such as ''Euodynerus'', ''Acarodynerus'', ''Stenodynerus'', ''Parodontodynerus'' and ''Incodynerus''. Species A partial species list of the hundreds of species classified under ''Odynerus'' is set out below: * ''Odynerus acuticarinatus'' (Peter Cameron (entomologist), Cameron, 1909) * ''Odynerus acutocarinatus'' Cameron, 1909 * ''Odynerus areatus'' Fox, 1902 * ''Odynerus dorsonotatus'' Fox, 1902 * ''Odynerus eburneofasciatus'' Dusmet, 1903 * ''Odynerus ezechiae'' Anton Schulthess-Rechberg, Schulthess, 1923 * ''Odynerus herbertii'' Fox, 1902 * ''Odynerus jeromensis'' Cameron, 1909 * ''Odynerus longicornus'' Fox, 1902 * ''Odynerus melanocephalus'' (Gmeling, 1790) * ''Odynerus pacator'' Antonio Giordani Soika, Giordani Soika, 1960 * ''Odynerus pallidus'' Zavattari, 1912 * ''Odyn ...

Félix Édouard Guérin-Méneville
Félix Édouard Guérin-Méneville, also known as F. E. Guerin, (12 October 1799, in Toulon – 26 January 1874, in Paris) was a French entomologist. Life and work Guérin-Méneville changed his surname from Guérin in 1836. He was the author of the illustrated work ''Iconographie du Règne Animal de G. Cuvier 1829–1844'', a complement to the work of the zoologists Georges Cuvier and Pierre André Latreille, ''Le Règne Animal'', which illustrated only a selection of the animals covered. Cuvier was delighted with the work, saying that it would be very useful to readers, and that the illustrations were "as accurate as they were elegant". He also introduced silkworms to France, so they could be bred for the production of silk. Guérin-Méneville founded several journals: ''Magasin de zoologie, d’anatomie comparée et de paléontologie'' (1830), ''Revue zoologique par la Société cuviérienne'' (1838), ''Revue et Magasin de zoologie pure et appliquée'' (1849), and ''Revue de ...
