Pegoscapus bacataensis |
Pegoscapus bacataensis is a species of fig wasp in the genus Pegoscapus which is native to Colombia. [1] It has an obligate mutualism with Ficus andicola, the fig species it pollinates. [2] It was first described by Sergio Jansen and Carlos Sarmiento in 2008. [3] The egg stage of Pegoscapus bacataensis is around 130 days, longer than other pollinating fig wasps. [2]
Pegoscapus bacataensis is named after Bacatá, the name for the Bogotá savanna in Muysccubun, the language of the indigenous Muisca. [2]
