Stenarella domator
Identification
Distinguished from related Osprynchotina by black color with brownish-red legs, ovipositor at least 2.9 times metasomal length, and small cell 1+2Rs in fore wing.
Range
Widespread in Europe and the Middle East, recently discovered in North America. Most likely introduced after 1962 because Townes did not mention it in his revision of related genera. Wahl and Green (2020) speculate that it was introduced in "eumenine nests in wood imports or sphecid nests on shipping containers."
Remarks
Parasitoid of wasps and bees with mud nests.
