Stephanidaeとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Stephanoidea is a small Hymenopteran superfamily that includes a single extant family, Stephanidae with 9 genera and almost 300 species, primarily tropical and subtropical in distribution. They all have a slender and oddly elongated body, highly modified hind legs, and a somewhat spherical head on a long "neck", bearing a set of about five "teeth" on the face surrounding the ocelli. They thus somewhat resemble Gasteruptiidae, but they are glossy and often sculptured, and the swollen hind femora are unlike any gasteruptiid leg.
