"Peruvian Rainforest Unveils New Insect Genus"

Scientists from the University of Turku in Finland have discovered a new wasp genus, Capitojoppa, in the Allpahuayo-Mishana National Reserve in the Peruvian Amazon. The reserve is known for its high biodiversity, and the researchers have been studying insect diversity in the area for over two decades. Capitojoppa belongs to the subfamily Ichneumoninae and is characterized by its large head. The discovery highlights the rich tapestry of life in the rainforest and the need for conservation efforts in the face of human activities and climate change.
