Cyphononyx fulvognathus is a species of insect from the genus Cyphononyx.[1][2] It was originally described by Sievert Allen Rohwer in 1911.[3]

Cyphononyx fulvognathus is a solitary wasp that can be found in south-east Asia, notably between Japan, Taiwan and the south of China. In Japan, it is the only species from the genus Cyphononyx. Females have a body length between 17.0 and 26.1 mm (0.67 and 1.03 in) and a forewing length between 15.1 and 22.0 mm (0.59 and 0.87 in). Males are notably smaller with a body length between 10.5 and 18.9 mm (0.41 and 0.74 in)1 and a forewing length between 10.9 and 17.6 mm (0.43 and 0.69 in).

The documented distribution of C. fulvognathus ranges from Japan, through Taiwan to south China.[2] This is confirmed with recent observations through crowd-sourcing initiatives, which also observes the species in South Korea.[3]
