Biology:Paradolichurus
From HandWiki
Paradolichurus is a genus of cockroach wasps found in the new world. It was originally only a subgenus of Dolichurus however it was elevated to a genus due to the absence of many external sulcus and hindwing jugal lobe showing significant evolutionary advancement.[1] Members of this genus spend most of their time running on the ground making them difficult to collect because Malaise traps and nets are ineffective.[2]
Description
