A genus of wasps characterized by an elongated abdomen or tail-like appendage.
From Greek 'dolichós' (long) + 'oura' (tail), literally meaning 'long-tailed,' applied to insects with distinctive elongated rear segments.
Many wasp species were named descriptively just by looking at them—so 'long-tailed' wasps got a name that's literally a visual description of what makes them special.
