Proterosceliopsidae: A new family of Platygastroidea from Cretaceous amber [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2019 Proterosceliopsis was erected by Ortega-Blanco et al. (2014) in their treatment of scelionid genera in Cretaceous amber from Álava, Spain. The generic description appears to have been based on specimens in which only the dorsal aspects of the mesosoma ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 559-572, May 2026.Floral resource strips within apple orchards increased parasitoid abundance and influenced community composition, enhancing local biodiversity in the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve's transition zone. Ruderal and natural fynbos habitats supported higher parasitoid richness and abundance, emphasising the importance of conserving semi‐natural habitats ...

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 630-645, July 2025.We describe †Cretovelona orussopteryx n. gen. & sp. from Kachin amber. The fossil is examined with synchrotron scanning and integrated into an existing morphological data set for Orussoidea. This fossil parasitoid wasp displays a unique character combination demonstrating intermediate conditions in evolving the complex features employed in echo ...

Evolving perspectives in Hymenoptera systematics: Bridging fossils and genomes across time
Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 1-31, January 2025.Advances in sequencing and phylogenomic methods reveal unresolved deep phylogenetic nodes with variable age estimates in Hymenoptera, including, for example, Eusymphyta and Proctotrupomorpha. Conflicting morphological and molecular data hinder consensus in Hymenoptera systematics.

The maxillo-labial complex of Sparasion (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea)
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2014 Hymenopterans have evolved a rich array of morphological diversity within the maxillo-labial complex. Although the character system has been extensively studied and its phylogenetic implications revealed in large hymenopterans, e.g.
