Heterogynaidae is a minor and disputed lineage (only eight described species in a single genus, Heterogyna) of small spheciform wasps occurring in Madagascar, Botswana, Turkmenistan, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and the Eastern Mediterranean area. The majority are dark in color and range in size from approximately 1.5 to 5.0 mm. Most specimens have been collected in arid climates, but one species from Madagascar is known to occur in a humid forest habitat. Although males have functional wings, heterogynaid females are typically brachypterous, a trait which is unique among spheciform wasps. Wing venation is reduced in both sexes.

  • Heterogynaidae is a minor and disputed lineage (only eight described species in a single genus, Heterogyna) of small spheciform wasps occurring in Madagascar, Botswana, Turkmenistan, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and the Eastern Mediterranean area. The majority are dark in color and range in size from approximately 1.5 to 5.0 mm. Most specimens have been collected in arid climates, but one species from Madagascar is known to occur in a humid forest habitat. Although males have functional wings, heterogynaid females are typically brachypterous, a trait which is unique among spheciform wasps. Wing venation is reduced in both sexes. All species are diurnal, with the exception of H. nocticola. Other aspects of their biology are completely unknown, but details of their morphology have prompted researchers to hypothesize that they may be non-fossorial parasitoids adapted to hunt in tight spaces, such as under tree bark. This is speculative and has not yet been confirmed by actual observations of behavior. It is also possible that modifications of the female metasomal tergum VI and gonostyli may represent a unique prey transport mechanism, but this is also unconfirmed. The Heterogynaidae were historically considered the sister taxon to the remainder of the Apoidea, but recent studies utilizing molecular characters do not support this hypothesis. While monophyly of the genus is strongly supported, it is now considered to be related to the Crabronidae or, most recently, a lineage within the Bembicidae. (en)
  • Los heteroginaidos (Heterogynaidae) son una pequeña familia de himenópteros apócrtios de dudosa clasificación (sólo se describen 8 especies en un solo género, Heterogyna). Son pequeñas avispas esfeciformes que se encuentran en Madagascar, Botsuana, y el este del mar Mediterráneo. Las hembras son típicamente braquípteras, y su biología es completamente desconocida. Era considerada como un taxón hermano del resto de la superfamilia Apoidea. Pero ahora se lo considera relacionado a Crabronidae​ o, más recientemente como un linaje de Bembicinae.​ (es)
