TL;DR: This first occurrence of the family Vespidae in South America during the Cretaceous indicates that the family was widely distributed during this period.
Abstract: The first vespid species from the Lower Cretaceous Crato formation (Brazil) is described and figured as Curiosivespa sennlaubi Jouault, Rasnitsyn & Nel, n. sp. This new species can be differentiate...

TL;DR: In this article, DNA barcoding results for 134 species of Central European Vespoidea, families Mutillidae, Myrmosidae, Sapygidae, Scoliidae, Tiphiidae, Thynnidae, and Vespidae, including DNA barcodes for 100 of the 114 German species.
Abstract: The present study presents DNA barcoding results for 134 species of Central European Vespoidea, families Mutillidae, Myrmosidae, Sapygidae, Scoliidae, Tiphiidae, Thynnidae, and Vespidae, including DNA barcodes for 100 of the 114 German species. DNA barcoding resulted in unexpected diversity in several families, each with two or more genetic clusters identified by Barcode Index Numbers (BINs). Smicromyrmeburgeri Schmid-Egger, sp. nov. and S.langobardensis Schmid-Egger, sp. nov. are described as new from Germany and Italy, respectively. A neotype is designated for Smicromyrmerufipes (Fabricius, 1878). The results of DNA barcoding are discussed in respect to detecting cryptic species and refining species limits.
