Xiphydrioidea
Xiphydriidae are a family of wood wasps that includes around 150 species. They are located all over the world including North and South America, Australia, Europe, and others. Xiphydriidae larvae are wood borers in dead trees or branches of a range of trees. They are characterized as having long and skinny necks with dome-shaped heads. The oldest fossils of the group are from the mid Cretaceous. Genera These 29 genera belong to the family Xiphydriidae: * '' Alloxiphia'' Wei, 2002 * '' Austrocyrta'' Riek, 1955 * '' Austroxiphyda'' Jennings, Macdonald, Schiff & Parslow, 2021 * '' Brachyxiphus'' Philippi, 1871 * '' Calexiphyda'' Smith, 2008 * '' Carinoxiphia'' Wei, 1999 * '' Derecyrta'' Smith, 1860 * '' Eoxiphia'' Maa, 1949 * '' Euxiphydria'' Semenov-Tian-Shanskii & Gussakovskii, 1935 * '' Genaxiphia'' Maa, 1949 * '' Gryponeura'' Benson, 1954 * '' Heteroxiphia'' Saini & Singh, 1987 * '' Hyperxiphia'' Maa, 1949 * '' Indoxiphia'' Maa, 1949 * '' Lataxiphyda'' Smith, 2008 * '' Lissoxiphy ...

Wood Wasp
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 leng ...

Type Genus
In biological taxonomy, the type genus is the genus which defines a biological family and the root of the family name. Zoological nomenclature According to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, "The name-bearing type of a nominal family-group taxon is a nominal genus called the 'type genus'; the family-group name is based upon that of the type genus." Any family-group name must have a type genus (and any genus-group name must have a type species, but any species-group name may, but need not, have one or more type specimens). The type genus for a family-group name is also the genus that provided the stem to which was added the ending -idae (for families). :Example: The family name Formicidae has as its type genus the genus ''Formica'' Linnaeus, 1758. Botanical nomenclature In botanical nomenclature, the phrase "type genus" is used, unofficially, as a term of convenience. In the '' ICN'' this phrase has no status. The code uses type specimens for ranks up to fam ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
