Chyphotidae

The Chyphotidae are a family of wasps similar to the Mutillidae. These species are found primarily in arid regions in the southwestern United States and adjacent regions in Mexico.

Taxonomy

Recent classifications of Vespoidea (beginning in 2008) removed two of the five genera formerly placed in the family Bradynobaenidae to a separate family Chyphotidae, thus restricting true bradynobaenids to the Old World, with chyphotids being restricted to the New World.

Genera

  • Chyphotes Blake, 1886
  • Typhoctes Ashmead, 1899
