Amotura (=Euchrysia) hyalinipennis (Ashmead, 1896) - Chalcedectus hyalinipennis

Generic name

Apparently the correct generic name is now Agamerion, according to the Ohio State U "Hymenoptera Name Server." The genus Chalcedectus is something entirely different, and that genus name should be removed from this picture.

Agamerion Haliday, 1844

The Australasian Euchrysia were placed in the genus Agamerion. They have been raised from cockroach eggs found under Eucalyptus bark.

Arnold Menke identified two species of "Chalcedectus" that I collected in the local foothills. He asked if he could keep the specimens for the USNM, and I of course said yes. The other species was C. maculipennis. Both of these species were at one time considered to be North American representatives of Euchrysia.

From Chalcedectus to...

Euchrysia, to Amotura, and back to Chalcedectus. And around and around we go!

Thanks...

for the updated nomenclature. Damn taxonomists are never satisfied! ;-)

He-he,:) Yes, it is difficult

He-he,:) Yes, it is difficult, but the names of family Chalcidectidae and genus Euchrysia now no longer exists. They must be replaced by others. I pointed them, Thanks
