010712Wasp - Allophrys divaricata - Male
Hillsborough County, Florida, USA
January 7, 2012
Size: ~3mm

Dr. Klaus Horstmann has informed me that Allophrys divaricata Horstmann is the only species of the genus known from the USA and is common in Florida. Therefore, I presume that this can only be Allophrys divaricata.

Moved from Allophrys.

 
Thanks for your continued interest Bob.
I may have some better photos from other dates. I will check them and post if so.

This placement is advised by Dr. Gavin Broad based on the venation, the shape of the petiole, and the enlarged eyes. As for the minute flagellomeres of markedly shortened flagellum, the question is to what extent this may be distorted in the image.

Moved from ID Request.

 
Thank you Bob and Dr. Broad for your work on this. I
looked to see if I had a different angle on this, but I do not.

 
un-be-@#$%-lievable...
