Trichrysis Cyanea
''Trichrysis cyanea'' is a species of cuckoo wasps, insects in the family Chrysididae. Distribution This species is widespread in most of Europe and northern Africa throughout the Palearctic realm (central Asia, Siberia, Korea, China, and Japan). Habitat These wasps inhabit forest margins, clearings and areas with sun-exposed dead trees and tree stumps, usually nesting sites of its hosts. Description ''Trichrysis cyanea'' can reach a body length of about . These small sized cuckoo wasps have an elongated and completely blue-green or violet colored body, but males are often completely or partly black. The posterior margin of the third tergite of the abdomen shows three small wide teeth. The first tergite has a smooth middle furrow. This species is very similar to the species of the genus Chrysis. Biology The adults can be found in several generations from May to October, but mainly during June and July. These wasps parasitizes mainly on wasps of the group '' Trypoxylon figulus ...

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. 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 ...

Cuckoo Wasp
Commonly known as cuckoo wasps or emerald wasps, the hymenopteran family Chrysididae is a very large cosmopolitan group (over 3000 described species) of parasitoid or kleptoparasitic wasps, often highly sculptured, with brilliant metallic colors created by structural coloration. They are most diverse in desert regions of the world, as they are typically associated with solitary bee and wasp species, which are also most diverse in such areas. Their brood parasitic lifestyle has led to the evolution of fascinating adaptations, including chemical mimicry of host odors by some species. Nomenclature The term "cuckoo wasp" refers to the cuckoo-like way in which wasps in the family lay eggs in the nests of unrelated host species. The term is also used for some wasps outside of the family, such as '' Sapyga louisi''. Chrysididae, the scientific name of the family, refers to their shiny bodies and is derived from Greek ''chrysis, chrysid-'', "gold vessel, gold-embroidered dress", plus ...

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 ...
