Proctotrupomorpha

Proctotrupomorpha is a major subgrouping of the Apocrita within the Hymenoptera, containing mainly small parasitic wasps. It contains the major groupings of Chalcidoidea, Diaprioidea, Proctotrupoidea, Cynipoidea and Platygastroidea, as well as the small Mymarommatoidea, and extinct groups like the Serphitoidea. It is well supported by both morphological and genetic evidence, although relationships among the superfamilies are still somewhat in flux.

886 occurrences of Proctotrupomorpha on record, most of them in the Eocene. The Paleobiology Database records this as a living group. Bar height is expected occurrences, not a count: each fossil is spread across the span it is dated to, so a tall narrow bar means tight dating and a low wide one means loose.

When

886 occurrences

These are dates about fossils, not the animal: the record can only begin after it arose and end before it died out, so either end may reach further. Shares are expected occurrences: a fossil dated to a span is counted partly in each period it straddles. More on what this infers.

8,041 taxa

The Paleobiology Database records 249 sites for Proctotrupomorpha, and this reads 240 of them. Of that, one read hit the database's own return limit, so every count below is a floor rather than a total. The number is how many of those sites it was catalogued from too. The 24 sharing the most are listed.

This is not a list of everything alive at the time. It is only what has come out of the same ground as this animal and been written down.

Entered from

281 references

Each of the 886 occurrences read was entered from one of these publications, ordered by how many each accounts for. This is not a search for papers mentioning the name. 269 further references are not listed. Entries link to doi.org where the Paleobiology Database holds an identifier, and to its own record where it does not. Relayed as the Paleobiology Database holds them, not checked against what they resolve to.
