The world fauna of the flat wasps (Bethylidae) is represented by about 3,000 valid species.
The skeletal morphology of bethylids is still not adequately understood and the terminology …

The subfamily Epyrinae is the most common in the bethylid fossil record. Its geological
history ranges from the Eocene to the Pleistocene, and it is the only subfamily that has no …

We apply integrative taxonomy to solve a historical taxonomic impasse in a flat wasp group
(Hymenoptera, Bethylidae). The phylogeny of Epyrinae is inferred with parsimony analyses …

The flat wasps Bethylidae are a cosmopolitan family of aculeate ectoparasitoid of
Coleoptera and Lepidoptera larvae. There are only 73 fossil species so far. Here, we …

Some ichneumonid wasps of the Polysphincta group of genera (Hymenoptera:
Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae) induce behavioral modifications in their host spiders during a …

Color traits are highly influenced by environmental conditions along the distributional range
of many species. Studies on the variation of animal coloration across different geographic …

The mesopleuron of Bethylidae has many structures that are used in taxonomic and
phylogenetic studies. The lack of understanding of these structures has generated …

Abstract The flat wasp Apenesia Westwood is one of the largest genera in Pristocerinae with
190 species worldwide. The lack of a single diagnostic morphological character has resulted …

Herein, eyeless Pseudosinella species from Brazilian caves are reviewed, including the
description of 23 new species, new records plus additional notes on the descriptions of P …

Scolebythidae are ectoparasitoid wasps which develop gregariously as idiobionts on wood-
boring beetle larvae. Among them, the genus Clystopsenella is restricted to the Neotropical …
