Detailed Description

This is picture 5 from a 12 picture invited series by Matt Buffington (matt.buffington@usda.gov) at the USDA Parastitic Hymentoptera group using specimens from the U.S. Natural History Museum Smithsonian. Matt uses a system very similar to ours to photograph and stack this super tiny wasp.This majestic, unnamed species of Liopteron was collected in French Guyana. It 's the only known specimen of this species, and the first record of the genus from the country. Soon, we hope, its named!
