NewzScientists have described five new species of parasitoid wasps in Cyprus, a discovery that significantly expands the known biodiversity of the Mediterranean region. The finding more than doubled the previously recorded number of chalcidid wasps belonging to the Pteromalidae family that are considered exclusive to the area.
The discovery centers on these newly identified parasitoid wasps and incorporates a name honoring a Greek goddess for the classification. This taxonomic breakthrough alters existing scientific understanding regarding the biodiversity and ecological makeup of the Mediterranean.
