Focus on the systematics of Cirrospilini LaSalle (Chalcidoidea: Eulophidae). Evolution of color variation & morphology. ❤️ tiny wasps and vinyl

@monotomidae @cnestus Gorgeous! Zagrammosoma centrolineatum

@ymilesz @Lucareptile @bug_butch Hard to tell but looks like it could be a Diglyphus. (2 funiculars and incomplete notaulus)

If anyone wants to check out some of the craziest body and wing color patterns in #Hymenoptera, here’s my phylogenetic revision of Zagrammosoma. Key to all species, time lapse of emergence, plates of all species, and a huge list of host records. Enjoy!

[Zootaxa updates @Zootaxa]

Monograph Read between the lineata: A revision of the tattooed wasps, Zagrammosoma Ashmead (#Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), with descriptions of eleven #newspecies was published today.

Emergence

[Ryan Perry, Ph.D. @chalcidcrusader]

@ymilesz Haha can do!

[Ryan Perry, Ph.D. @chalcidcrusader]

@Myrmecos Thank you! I’m most proud of the plates in it. Do you have an image of the eulophid in question?

[Ryan Perry, Ph.D. @chalcidcrusader]

@ymilesz @Myrmecos It’s true!

[Ryan Perry, Ph.D. @chalcidcrusader]

@Myrmecos Wait a month or so for my revision of that genus to come out. The patterns of some of the species are out of this world!

We have some sad news. Last night, we lost a beloved professor and friend, Dr. Bill Walton. Please keep his family and students in your thoughts.

[Ryan Perry, Ph.D. @chalcidcrusader]

@No_See_Em @ArkansasEPP Congrats!!

[Ryan Perry, Ph.D. @chalcidcrusader]

@CSEiseman The only real difference is that the male gaster will have less dark markings than the female

[Ryan Perry, Ph.D. @chalcidcrusader]

@CSEiseman Hi, yes this is currently Cirrospilus (nr. variegatus), but will be changing soon! (Manuscript ready time submit)

[Ryan Perry, Ph.D. @chalcidcrusader]

@PhoridFly Ah ok, yah it seemed odd to me. I think the eggs were viable, and the fly had only been present for an hour or two, as I checked the eggs earlier in the day and they were clean with no larvae on them.

[Ryan Perry, Ph.D. @chalcidcrusader]

Haven’t heard of or seen this before. Is this a phorid fly attacking my Western Fence Lizard eggs??? Dipterist friends, help! @PhoridFly
