Rhapidogyna is an extinct genus of apoid wasps, found only in Burmese amber.[1][2] Rhapidogyna is a replacement name for an unavailable name, Rhabdogyna, already in use for a genus of spiders.
Taxonomy
[edit]The genus was erected in 2024, and was initially given the name Rhabdogyna.[2] However, this had already been used for a genus of spiders, so the replacement name Rhapidogyna was published later in 2024.[1][3] Three species have been described.[2][3]
