Hymenoptera

Hymenoptera – Il nome si riferisce alle ali membranose, e deriva dal greco antico ὑμήν, hymën, membrana, e πτερόν, pterón, ala. Gli imenotteri (Hymenoptera Linnaeus, 1758) sono un ordine di insetti, incluso nella sottoclasse Pterygota (Endopterygota Oligoneoptera) e, come unico ordine, nella sezione Hymenopteroidea, che comprende oltre 120.000 specie diffuse in tutto il mondo.
