Synopsis of the hymenopteran fauna of Lord Howe Island with a preliminary checklist of species

A comprehensive survey of Lord Howe Island's hymenopteran fauna reveals 318 species from 31 families, significantly advancing the understanding of this understudied group. The study combines recent intensive sampling with historical records to provide a preliminary checklist and assesses the proportion of flightless and potentially endemic species. This research lays critical groundwork for future taxonomic and biodiversity studies on one of Australia's most iconic World Heritage Sites.
