Evanioidea
The Evanioidea are a small hymenopteran superfamily that includes three extant families, two of which (Aulacidae and Gasteruptiidae) are much more closely related to one another than they are to the remaining family, Evaniidae. The rich fossil record, however, helps fill in the gaps between these lineages. They all share the trait of having the metasoma attached very high above the hind coxae on the propodeum.
Species
Evanioidea è una superfamiglia appartenente all'ordine degli imenotteri. Indice 1 Biologia 2 Tassonomia 3 Note 4 Altri progetti 5 Collegamenti esterni Biologia La biologia è molto disparata all'interno delle 3 famiglie viventi. Gli Aulacidae sono parassitoidi di coleotteri, mentre gli Evaniidae sono predatori solitari delle ooteche di blatte e i Gasteruptiidae di nidi di api e vespe solitarie.[1] Tassonomia È un gruppo poco conosciuto, composto da circa 1100 specie divise in 6 famiglie di cui 3 viventi:[1] Andreneliidae †: 2 generi. Anomopterellidae †: 1 genere. Aulacidae: 279 generi. Evaniidae: 649 generi. Gasteruptiidae: 7 generi. Praeaulacidae †: 3 generi.

The Evanioidea are a small hymenopteran superfamily that includes three extant families, two of which (Aulacidae and Gasteruptiidae) are much more closely related to one another than they are to the remaining family, Evaniidae.

It is a poorly known group as a whole, with some 1100 known species in total, and a great many species are still undescribed. While each of the three families differs in biology, within each family, they are remarkably uniform in appearance and habits.
