More Trigonalid papers can be found here. Also, I found old keys to some species and genera. Here are some more pictures of Trigonalidae (including eggs in a Douglas Fir leaf).
I made an Index to the Systematic Entomology paper.

| Reared from Erigorgus procerus (Gravenhorst) (Ichneumonidae) parasitizing Polia nebulosa (Hufnagel) (Noctuidae) feeding on Rubus leaves. Also reared from Xestia triangulum (Noctuidae) / Erigorgus melanops and Heteropelma amictum (Ichneumonidae) / Callimorpha dominula (Arctiidae). Ten months can pass from ingestion of eggs to emergence of adult P. hahnii (middle June to middle August). |

| Orthogonalys bella, n. sp., is described from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee. It is the second species of Orthogonalys Schulz and the fifth species of Nearctic Trigonalidae. Characters separating it from Orthogonalys pulchella (Cresson) are given. |

Fossil Trigonalidae and Vespidae (Hymenoptera) in Baltic amber
PROCEEDINGS OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON 107 (1): 55-63 JAN 2005 A fossil trigonalid (Trigonalidae: Hymenoptera), Eotrigonalis balticus Poinar, n. gen., n. sp., and a fossil vespid, Palaeovespa socialis Poinar. n. sp., are described from Eocene Baltic amber. Eotrigonalis balticus is a large. robust. heavily armored species, which could have parasitized members of the Vespidae. It can be separated from ail other members of the family by the presence of large scutellar horns. Palaeovespa socialis has the diagnostic characters of members of the subfamily Vespinae and was probably eusocial. It differs from extant vespines by the shape of the clypeus, the presence of interparapsidal furrows and venational characters. |

| Guyotemaimetsha enigmatica, a new genus and species of evaniomorphan wasp, is described from the French Albian amber. Its phylogenetic affinities are discussed. It has strong similarities with the genera Maimetsha and Cretogonalys, which are attributed to the Maimetshidae and Trigonalidae, respectively. The exact relationships of these Cretaceous taxa remain enigmatic. |
