wasp or ant? - Neotiphia
Rattlesnake Wash, Torrance County, New Mexico, USA

Size: 1 cm
Not sure if this is a wasp or winged ant, but am guessing the latter. This was in the shrubby desert of north New Mexico.

Moved from Tiphiinae.

This makes a new genus for the guide. All terga have distinct polished, almost ribbon-like fasciae. In specimens, these areas typically have a slightly reddish tint. Given the smaller tegulae, this is probably Neotiphia. While Krombeinia has the same sort of fasciae, absent in our other tiphiine genera, its tegulae tend to be quite massive.

Neotiphia versus Krombeinia specimens.
