''Latina'' is a genus of South American chalcid wasps in the family Eucharitidae. There are four known species of ''Latina'' with three known in Argentina and one from Venezuela. Like all members of the Euchratidae, ''Latina'' wasps are ant parasitoids: the wasp larvae burrow into ant hosts to complete development, killing the ant upon emergence. The genus was first named ''Laurella'' in 2002, but that name had already been given to a genus of bee flies 30 years prior, and so the name ''Latina'' was proposed as a replacement, in honor of Latin America where the species occur. ==Species== *''Latina bonariensis'' - Argentina *''Latina guriana'' - Venezuela *''Latina rugosa'' - Argentina *''Latina vianai'' - Argentina 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Latina (genus)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
