Hedychrum

Hedychrum is a large genus of cuckoo wasps (the family Chrysididae). With roughly 150 species, it is the second largest genus in the family; most species are from the Palaearctic, but they can be found in the Oriental, Afrotropical, Nearctic, and Neotropical regions.[1] Their hosts are typically from the subfamily Philanthinae.
