Pappognatha

Pappognatha is a genus of mutillid wasps. Some members of this genus are ant mimics (e.g., Pappognatha myrmiciformis closely resembles the ant species Camponotus sericeiventris^[1]). These wasps occur in Central and South America, and are parasites in the arboreal nests of orchid bees in the genus Euglossa.^[2]
