The fossil crown wasp † is described based on a well-preserved male specimen embedded in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. This discovery adds to the growing diversity of the extinct subfamily †Lagenostephaninae, representing its fourth known species. Notably, it constitutes only the second male specimen described within this lineage, offering valuable insight into the morphological characteristics and potential sexual dimorphism in early crown wasps.
这种化石冠黄蜂†是根据一个保存在白垩纪中期缅甸琥珀中的保存完好的雄性标本描述的。这一发现增加了已灭绝的†Lagenostephaninae亚科不断增长的多样性，代表了该亚科已知的第四个物种。值得注意的是，它是该谱系中描述的第二个雄性标本，为早期冠黄蜂的形态特征和潜在的两性异形提供了有价值的见解。
