Hymenoptera genera

Montezumia is a primarily neotropical genus of eumenine wasps whose 48 species (Willink 1982) range from Argentina to the southwestern United States (Arizona). Most of the known species (38 of 52 species and subspecies; Willink 1982) are from South America. Unfortunately, the behaviour of Montezumia species has been described for only eight definitively identified species (ferruginea, dimidiata, cortesioides, vechti, pelagica, brethesi, platinia, and petiolata) (reviewed in Willink 1982).

Aporus is a genus of spider wasps from the family Pompilidae, they specialise in hunting ground dwelling spiders in their burrows for laying eggs on.

Amblyaspis is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Platygastridae.

Ooencyrtus is a genus of chalcid wasp. William Harris Ashmead named and circumscribed the genus in 1900.

thumb|Anteon caledonianum Anteon is the largest genus in the subfamily Anteoninae of the family Dryinidae, it occurs globally and there is a current total of 464 species described. The species in the genus Anteon are parasitoids of leafhoppers from the family Cicadellidae. The female wasps of the family Dryinidae almost always possess a chelate protarsus, as do females of species within Anteon. The chelae are used to capture and immobilise the host leafhopper to allow the wasp to oviposit and feed on it.

Mutilla is a genus of parasitoid wasp belonging to the family Mutillidae.

Methocha is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Thynnidae.

Tamarixia is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae, they are parasitoids of Jumping plant lice or psyllids of the superfamily Psylloidea, although some species will parasitise aphids. Most species appear to be ectoparasitoids but at least one species has been recorded as an endoparasitoid.

Theronia is a genus of ichneumon wasps in the family Ichneumonidae. There are at least 30 described species in the genus Theronia. The genus has a worldwide distribution and includes species that are endoparasitoids or hyperparasitoids of Lepidoptera.

Sycophaga is a mainly Afrotropical genus of fig wasps that live on the section Sycomorus of the monoecious fig subgenus, Sycomorus, and one of several fig wasp genera to exploit its mutualism with Ceratosolen wasps.

Platyscapa is a genus of 19 species of pollinating fig wasps found in Africa and Madagascar, Middle East, southern Asia and the Indo-Pacific islands. They are pollinators of Ficus species belonging to subsections Conosycea and Urostigma.

Megastigmus is a large genus of minute wasps that belongs to the family Megastigmidae. Many species undergo larval development within the seeds of trees and shrubs. They have a global distribution with the most species being found in the Palearctic, Australian, and Nearctic regions. Their wings have relatively large black spots located towards to middle The ovipositors in females are long.

Coptera is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Diapriidae.

Iphitrachelus is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Platygastridae.

Brachyscelio is an extinct genus of wasps belonging to the family Neuroscelionidae, fossils have been found in Baltic and Rovno amber.

Ixodiphagus is a genus of encyrtid wasps (order Hymenoptera, superfamily Chalcidoidea) that are obligate parasitoids of ticks (order Ixodida). Females oviposit into larval or nymphal ticks; development resumes inside the nymph and the emerging adult wasps kill the host. Because of this unique biology, Ixodiphagus has been repeatedly investigated as a biological control agent for medically and veterinary important ticks.

Sycomacophila is an Afrotropical genus of gall wasps that live on the monoecious fig subgenus, Sycomorus.

Anaphes is a genus of fairyflies belonging to the family Mymaridae. It was first described by Alexander Henry Haliday in 1833.

Cheiropachus is a genus of insects belonging to the family Pteromalidae.

Evagetes is a genus of spider wasps from the family Pompilidae. There are 72 described species, of which 58 are found in the Palaearctic region, 11 in the Nearctic region, with a few penetrating to the Afrotropical, Oriental and Neotropic regions. Evagetes wasps are kleptoparasitic on other pompilid wasps, especially the genera Arachnospila, Anoplius, Episyron and Pompilus, digging into their sealed burrows, eating the host egg and replacing it with an egg of its own. Evagetes wasps are characterised by their very short antennae. Most are species are black with the base of the antennae rufous,

A pair of medial pits on the anterior face of the pronotum and the expansion of the tegulae put this genus close to the genus Stenodynerus and many species of both genera are somewhat difficult to assignate to their respective genus.

Acanthala is a genus of generally dull-colored parasitoid wasps in the family Eulophidae, with three described species. The name Acanthala is a combination of the Greek root acantha, meaning "spiny" and Latin ala, meaning "wing". This refers to the diagnostic row of strong spinelike hairs on the upper surface of the marginal vein. The genus is only known from the Neotropics, with two species known from Brazil and a third from Belize and Costa Rica. The biology of the genus is unknown.
