Chyphotidae

The Chyphotidae are a family of wasps with wingless females similar to the Mutillidae, differing most visibly in the presence, in females, of a suture separating the pronotum from the mesonotum. These species are found primarily in arid regions in the southwestern United States and adjacent regions in Mexico.

Taxonomy
Recent classifications of Vespoidea sensu lato (beginning in 2008) removed two of the subfamilies 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. The genera are classified as follows: Subfamily Chyphotinae • Chyphotes Blake, 1886 Subfamily Typhoctinae Tribe Eotillini • Eotilla Schuster, 1949 • Prototilla Schuster, 1949 Tribe Typhoctini • Typhoctes Ashmead, 1899 • Typhoctoides Brothers, 1974 ==References==
