Stenogastrinae
The Stenogastrinae are a subfamily of social wasps included in the family Vespidae.〔〔〔 They are sometimes called hover wasps owing to the particular hovering flight of some species. Their morphology and biology present interesting peculiarities.
==Systematic position==
The first reports on stenogastrine wasps can be found in a book of Guérin de Méneville (1831) with the first known species, ''Stenogaster fulgipennis''. H. De Saussure treated their systematic position and remarked that these wasps were, in all their characters, entirely intermediate between the two subfamilies of Eumeninae and Vespinae. In 1927, von Schulthess created the new genus ''Parischnogaster'' for some species living in the Oriental region.. Dutch entomologist J. van der Vecht created four new genera including species from the entire area of distribution and described tens of new species. He revised the two Papuan genera'' Anischnogaster'' and ''Stenogaster '' and the oriental genus ''Metischnogaster'' while the largest genera of the Oriental region, ''Liostenogaster'' and ''Eustenogaster'', still wait for revision. He also created one more genus, ''Holischnogaster'', which has been then synonymised by Carpenter (1982)〔 with ''Parischnogaster''. A seventh genus, ''Cochlischnogaster'', described by two Chinese entomologists (Dong and Otsuka), has been more recently included in the subfamily. Carpenter made overviews of the taxonomy and phylogeny of the group which he treated as a subfamily of the family Vespidae.〔〔 Stenogastrinae, Polistinae and Vespinae are sister groups and derive from a common ancestor. A recent, more complete analysis from the same author〔 including biomolecular data confirms this phylogeny.〔
