The Bradynobaenidae are a family of wasps similar to the Mutillidae, differing most visibly in the presence, in females, of a suture separating the pronotum from the mesonotum. These species are often found in arid regions.
Taxonomy
Recent classifications (beginning in 2008) remove two of the constituent subfamilies, both from the New World, to a separate family Chyphotidae, thus restricting true bradynobaenids to the Old World.[1][2]
The retained genera are classified as follows:
Subfamily Apterogyninae
- Apterogyna Latreille, 1809
- Gynecaptera Skorikov, 1935
- Macroocula Panfilov, 1954[3]
- Micatagla Argaman, 1994 (at least 54 living species per Gadallah, et al., 2019)
Subfamily Bradynobaeninae
- Bradynobaenus Spinola, 1851
Genera placed in Chyphotidae
Five genera were transferred to Chyphotidae and are no longer considered members of Bradynobaenidae:[4]
- Chyphotes Blake, 1886
- Eotilla Schuster, 1949
- Prototilla Schuster, 1949
- Typhoctes Ashmead, 1899
- Typhoctoides Brothers, 1974
