Ensign wasps (Evaniidae) of Macaronesia

Listed in GBIF

This dataset presents the first confirmed records of the ensign wasp family Evaniidae (Hymenoptera: Evanioidea) from the Madeira archipelago and Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, expanding the known distribution of this parasitoid group in Macaronesia.

Description

Two species are documented: the widely distributed Evania appendigaster (Linnaeus, 1758) and the Mediterranean species Zeuxevania splendidula (Costa, 1884). Z. splendidula is recorded for the first time in Macaronesia, with specimens collected using yellow sticky traps in vineyard habitats along the north coast of Madeira.

E. appendigaster was sporadically collected in urban environments. A total of 16 specimens were recorded. These findings represent the first verified occurrences of the family Evaniidae on Madeira Island, contributing new data for the region.

This dataset enhances current knowledge of Evaniidae diversity in Macaronesia and provides a foundation for future research on parasitoid-host interactions and the ecological roles of ensign wasps in island ecosystems.
