Throughout history, Anaxyelidae has played a fundamental role in people's lives, impacting the way we relate, work and function in society. From its origins to its relevance today, Anaxyelidae has been the subject of study and debate, generating endless interpretations and opinions. Through this article, we propose to analyze and reflect on Anaxyelidae , unraveling its most relevant aspects and offering a critical and comprehensive look that allows us to understand its true scope.
Family of sawflies
Anaxyelidae is a family of incense cedar wood wasps in the order Hymenoptera . It contains only one living genus, Syntexis , which has only a single species, native to Western North America.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] Fossils of the family extend back to the Middle Jurassic, belonging to over a dozen extinct genera, with a particularly high diversity during the Early Cretaceous . Syntexis lay eggs in the sapwood of conifers, preferring recently burnt wood.[ 4]
