Cleonymus

Belongs within: Cleonymidae.

Cleonymus is a near-cosmopolitan genus of wasps (unrecorded from South America), parasitic on wood-boring beetles (Bouček 1988).

Characters (from Bouček 1988): Antenna with eight distinct segments between pedicel and clava; male antenna unbranched, with almost symmetrical segments covered by regular dense pilosity; preclava in female with distinct lateral process closely applied to side of clava; notaular grooves becoming indistinct in very dense reticulation-puncturation on posterior half of scutum; stigmal vein in both sexes fairly long, at very low angle, fully twice as long as distance of stigmal knob from postmarginal vein; hind femur often serrate or with a subapical tooth on ventral margin; gaster in female sessile.
