Rhyssalus Haliday

Belokobylskij, Sergey A. & Kula, Robert R., 2012, Review of the brachypterous, micropterous, and apterous Braconidae of the cyclostome lineage (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea) from the Palearctic Region 3240, Zootaxa 3240 (1), pp. 1-62 : 7

Genus Rhyssalus Haliday

This genus consists of 10 described species, including two known from fossils only ( Yu et al. 2005). It is represented in the Neotropical, Oriental, and Palearctic regions. Species from tropical regions need to be assessed to determine if they belong in Rhyssalus or should be transferred to other genera (see, for example, Belokobylskij & Maeto 2006). One species exhibits brachyptery (female) ( Tobias & Belokobylskij 1981).
