townsella m Tiny Wasp

Hi Hans,
We already have two pages devoted specifically to Ichneumons that are distinct from our four wasp pages. We couldn’t locate any information online about the timy Townsella Wasp, but we are happy to post the image.

Hi Daniel,
Glad you are able to use the photo. I work specifically on Diapriidae. (Hymenoptera:Apocrita:Parasitica:Proctotrupoidea:Diapriidae) r.e. Townesella. You can find it on Matt Yoder’s site here: http://www.diapriid.org /projects/1/public/clave/show /342 There is not a whole lot known about it .It is probably associated with ants. Has been caught in light traps. Not something the casual collector would probably come across. Range is described to be NW USA, but also includes Mexico. Regards,
Hans
