The Bradynobaenidae are a family of wasps similar to the Mutillidae, differing most visibly in the presence, in females, of a suture separating the pronotum from the mesonotum. These species are often found in arid regions.

Taxonomy

edit

Recent classifications (beginning in 2008) remove two of the constituent subfamilies, both from the New World, to a separate family Chyphotidae, thus restricting true bradynobaenids to the Old World.[1][2]

The retained genera are classified as follows:

Subfamily Apterogyninae

edit

Subfamily Bradynobaeninae

edit

Genera placed in Chyphotidae

edit

Five genera were transferred to Chyphotidae and are no longer considered members of Bradynobaenidae:[4]
