Biology:Pemphredonidae

From HandWiki

Pemphredonidae is a family of aphid wasps formerly treated as the subfamily Pemphredoninae. There are 19 genera and 556 described species in the family.[1][2][3]

Description and identification

The primary morphological distinction between the Pemphredonidae and the Psenidae is that Pemphredonidae never have more than two submarginal cells in their forewing while Psenidae have three submarginal cells.[4]

Biology

Taxonomy and phylogeny

As Pemphredoninae, this taxon was previously divided into four tribes: Entomosericini, Odontosphecini, Psenini, and Pemphredonini. The Pemphredonini were considered to have by far the largest number of species. Phylogenetic analyses to resolve the paraphyly of Crabronidae through erecting additional families also found the Pemphredoninae to be polyphyletic. As a result, more recent classifications treat Psenidae (comprising the former tribes Psenini and Odontosphecini) as a separate family, and sister to the newly-erected family Ammoplanidae. Ammoplanidae is also rendered as the most sister family to the bees (Anthophila). The Pemphredonidae (Pemphredonini excluding Ammoplanina) is instead sister taxon to the Philanthidae.[2] In continued revision, Entomosericini has also been elevated to family status as Entomosericidae.[3]

Genera

The Pemphredonidae are restricted to the former subtribes Pemphredonina, Spilomenina, and Stigmina, which now are treated as subfamilies.[2][3]

Transferred to Angarosphecidae

Two fossil wasp genera from the Weald Clay were originally considered to possibly be in the Pemphredoninae.[5] They are currently classified among the 15 genera of the extinct family, Angarosphecidae.[6]
