Abstract: Genus TrigonopsisPerty, 1833 No Trigonopsis cocoon has been described in detail. Vardy (1978) provided drawings of the cocoons of Trigonopsis cyclocephalus F. Smith, 1873 and T. violascens (Dalla Torre, 1897) and Arl �� (1933), of Trigonopsis rufiventris (Fabricius, 1804). From these illustrations one can recognise that (1) apparently the cocoons have only one capsule, like those of Podium, Penepodium and Sceliphron; (2) there are no nipple-projections on the extremities; (3) the shape is similar to that of Podium and Sceliphron.<br />Published as part of Buys, Sandor Christiano, 2022, An overview of cocoon morphology of Sphecidae (Hymenoptera: Apoidea), pp. 2935-2949 in Journal of Natural History 55 (47 - 48) on page 2939, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2022.2036843, http://zenodo.org/record/6351759<br />{"references":["Vardy CR. 1978.
