Bradynobaenidae

Summary

The Bradynobaenidae are a family of wasps similar to the Mutillidae, differing most visibly in the presence, in females, of a suture separating the pronotum from the mesonotum. These species are often found in arid regions.

Scientific classification Edit this classification
Domain: Eukaryota
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta
Order: Hymenoptera
Superfamily: Tiphioidea
Family: Bradynobaenidae Genera See text Taxonomy edit

Recent classifications (beginning in 2008) remove two of the constituent subfamilies, both from the New World, to a separate family Chyphotidae, thus restricting true bradynobaenids to the Old World.[1][2]

The retained genera are classified as follows:

Subfamily Apterogyninae edit

  • Apterogyna Latreille, 1809
  • Gynecaptera Skorikov, 1935
  • Macroocula Panfilov, 1954[3]
  • Micatagla Argaman, 1994 (at least 54 living species per Gadallah, et al., 2019)

Subfamily Bradynobaeninae edit

  • Bradynobaenus Spinola, 1851

Genera placed in Chyphotidae edit

Five genera were transferred to Chyphotidae and are no longer considered members of Bradynobaenidae:[4]

  • Chyphotes Blake, 1886
  • Eotilla Schuster, 1949
  • Prototilla Schuster, 1949
  • Typhoctes Ashmead, 1899
  • Typhoctoides Brothers, 1974
