Habronyx is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.[1] The species of this genus are found in Europe, Australia, and North[1] and South America.[2]
Distribution
Habronyx species are found in most realms, with the exception of the Afrotropical realm.[2]
Reproduction
Habronyx adults lay their eggs inside Lepidopteran larvae (i.e. caterpillars) by piercing them with their ovipositor.[2] Habronyx eggs consist of an equatorial disc and a caudal stalk, making them look a bit like the cartoon oil lamp from Aladdin.[3] It's thought that the shape is adapted to attach the egg to the inside of the caterpillar's integument.[4] Once the eggs hatch, the Habronyx larvae consume the caterpillar from the inside. They emerge from the deceased caterpillar as adults.
Description
_-_05m_18s_366ms.jpg){kind=link}
The adult of most Habronyx species are generally about 30 mm (1.2 in) in length.[3] Like all ichneumons, the genitals of the male Habronyx consists of a capsule formed by two lateral gonosquamae. The membraneous part of the aedeagus is covered in small spines; Habryonx shares this feature with several other genera but some genera have a smooth aedeagus.[3]
