Taxonomy
Taxonomy
Monodontomerus is a genus of parasitic wasp in the family Torymidae. If you see Monodontomerus sp. listed in your block results, the specimens were probably damaged or partial, and we were not able to identify them to species. However, the majority of Monodontomerus specimens that we identified in Bee Atlas blocks were Monodontomerus minor.
