Chrysidea
''Chrysidea'' is a genus of 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 col ...s (insect belonging to the family Chrysididae). Taxonomy ''Chrysidea'' and '' Trichrysis'' are closely related and probably they should be considered the same genus. For example, some authors consider the species '' Chrysidea pumila'' as a synonym of '' Trichrysis pumilionis'' Linsenmaier, 1987. This genus includes small species, from 3 to 6 mm, with variable colors ranging from green and blue-green to blue.

Chrysidea Pumila
''Chrysidea pumila'' is a species of cuckoo wasps belonging to the subfamily Chrysidinae. Some authors consider this species as a synonym of '' Trichrysis pumilionis'' Linsenmaier, 1987. Description ''Chrysidea pumila'' can reach a length of about . The basic color of the body is metallic blue-green with golden reflections. These cuckoo wasps parasitize ''Trypoxylon attenuatum'' (Sphecidae). Distribution This species is present in Europe (Spain, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Hungary, Dalmatia, North Macedonia, Greece, Italy), in Southern Russia, in the Middle East and in North Africa North Africa, or Northern Africa is a region encompassing the northern portion of the African continent. There is no singularly accepted scope for the region, and it is sometimes defined as stretching from the Atlantic shores of Mauritania in t ....

Hans Bischoff
Hans Bischoff (30 November 1889 – 18 March 1960) was a German entomologist from Berlin. He was Kustos or curator of Hymenoptera (and Neuropterida The Neuropterida are a clade, sometimes placed at superorder level, of holometabolous insects with over 5,700 described species, containing the orders Neuroptera (lacewings, antlions), Megaloptera (alderflies, dobsonflies), and Raphidioptera (sna ...) at Museum für Naturkunde (Berlin) from 1921 until 1955.

Johann Christoph Friedrich Klug
Johann Christoph Friedrich Klug (5 May 1775, in Berlin – 3 February 1856, in Berlin), was a German entomologist. He described the butterflies and some other insects of Upper Egypt and Arabia in Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg and Wilhelm Friedrich Hemprich's ''Symbolæ Physicæ'' (Berlin, 1829–1845). He was professor of medicine and entomology in the University of Berlin (known in the present day as the Humboldt University of Berlin) where he curated the insect collections from 1810 to 1856. At the same time he directed the Botanic Garden in Berlin which contains his collections. Klug worked mainly on Hymenoptera and Coleoptera. The plant genus ''Klugia'' (now called ''Rhynchoglossum'', Family Gesneriaceae) was named in his honour as well as the butterflies ''Geitoneura klugii'' and ''Heliophisma klugii''. In 1855, he was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Works (Partial List) * Die Blattwespen nach ihren Gattungen und Arten zusammengestellt. ...

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", ...

Trichrysis
Trichrysis is a genus of cuckoo wasps, insects in the family Chrysididae. Description The body is elongated. The posterior margin of the third tergite of the abdomen shows three small wide teeth. Species Species within this genus include: * '''' Strumia, 2010 * '' |
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. Appe ...
