Evaniella

This is one of the most diverse genera in the neotropics. Currently it is impossible to determine the total number of described species because many are incorrectly assigned to Evania; rectifying this situation and constructing a key to species will require extensive museum work.

One species is found in North America (north of Mexico). This genus is very common and quite diverse from Mexico south into Chile and Argentina.

The genus is currently diagnosed using three characters: presence of 7 (rarely 6) fore wing cells enclosed by tubular veins, fore wing 1RS straight (Fig. 14), mid- and hind coxae close together (Fig. 6). Size and habitus vary greatly.

Host associations are known only for one species, E. semaeoda Bradley, 1908, which has been reared from the oothecae of Ischnoptera deropeltiformis in Florida, U.S.A. (Deyrup & Atkinson, 1993).

Evaniella is a genus of ensign wasps in the family Evaniidae. There are more than 70 described species in Evaniella.
