Taxonavigation

Ordo: Hymenoptera
Familia: Liopteridae

Name

Xenocynips Kieffer, 1910a – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

Diagnosis

Metasomal terga 3–5 fused, with intertergal sutures partially visible; lower mesopleuron horizontally striate. Tessmannella is most easily confused with Xenocynips; the fusion of terga in Xenocynips is a very reliable and clearly visible character. Additionally, most species of Xenocynips possess a dorsoventrally striate lateral aspect of the scutellum, posterior to the auricula; this is useful for specimens in which the metasoma is missing.

Identification

Dichotomous and online interactive keys to species are available in Buffington and van Noort (2012) and van Noort (2004–2015).

Distribution

Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Congo (Buffington and van Noort 2012).

Biology

Unknown.
