Hymenoptera is a large order of insects, comprising the sawflies, wasps, bees, and ants. Over 150,000 living species of Hymenoptera have been described, [ 2 ] [ 3 ] in addition to over 2,000 extinct ones. [ 4 ]
Hymenoptera Hymenopterida is a superorder of holometabolous (metamorphosing) insects . As originally circumscribed, it included Hymenoptera and the orders in Panorpida ( Mecoptera , Siphonaptera , Diptera , Trichoptera and Lepidoptera ). [ 1 ]
Apocrita is a suborder of insects in the order Hymenoptera.It includes wasps, bees, and ants, and consists of many families.It contains the most advanced hymenopterans and is distinguished from Symphyta by the narrow "waist" formed between the first two segments of the actual abdomen; the first abdominal segment is fused to the thorax, and is called the propodeum.
Insects in the Hymenoptera order. Suborder Apocrita contains wasps, ants and bees, while suborder Symphyta contains sawflies. Subcategories.
The superfamily Apoidea is a major group (of over 30 000 species) within the Hymenoptera, which includes two traditionally recognized lineages, the "sphecoid" wasps, and the bees. Molecular phylogeny demonstrates that the bees arose from within the traditional " Crabronidae ", so that grouping is paraphyletic , and this has led to a ...

Aculeata is an infraorder of Hymenoptera containing ants, bees, and stinging wasps. The name is a reference to the defining feature of the group, which is the modification of the ovipositor into a stinger. However, many members of the group cannot sting, either retaining the ovipositor, or having lost it altogether.
Parasitoidism evolved only once in the Hymenoptera, during the Permian, leading to a single clade called Euhymenoptera, [2] but the parasitic lifestyle has secondarily been lost several times including among the ants, bees, and vespid wasps. As a result, the order Hymenoptera contains many families of parasitoids, intermixed with non-parasitoid ...
