554305FED792538F56372F7097A58F8B.taxon	etymology	Etymology. This species is named for the fictional creature from the movie franchise ' Alien', which reportedly was inspired by the lifecycle of parasitic wasps. The name of the fictional creature comes from the Greek ' xeno' (strange) and ' morphe' (form) which is also appropriate, considering the remarkably long ovipositor of this species compared to other members of the genus. The species name is a noun in apposition.	en	Fagan-Jeffries, Erinn P., Cooper, Steven J. B., Austin, Andrew D.
