The position of the genus within the Scelioninae is unclear, but the presence of a well-developed skaphion suggests a relationship with Psilanteridini, Thoronini, or Parascelionini. Tyrannoscelio is characterized by a strongly produced frontal ledge and enormously elongate mandibles. Two species are described in the genus: T. genieri, new species from Brazil (Espírito Santo), and T. crenatus, new species from Colombia (Caquetá).1390723 bytesapplication/pdfen-USQL1 .A436 no.3551 2007Tyrannoscelio.Tyrannoscelio genieri.Tyrannoscelio crenatus.Scelionidae -- Brazil -- Espírito Santo (State)Scelionidae -- Colombia -- Caquetá.Insects -- Brazil -- Espírito Santo (State)Insects -- Colombia -- Caquetá.Tyrannoscelio, a new genus of neotropical Scelionidae (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea) with description of two new species ; American Museum novitates, no. 3551New hymenopteran genus Tyrannosceliotext
