Cryptus conquisitor Itoplectis conquisitor is a wasp species[2] in the Ichneumonidae family of parasitoid wasps.

Itoplectis conquisitor is found across North America, on the East Coast from Pennsylvania south through Florida, and on the West Coast from British Columbia extending south through Central America to Ecuador.

Observations appear to be sparse and regional in Western North America.

[4] Itoplectis conquisitor practices multiparasitism.

[5] Itoplectis conquisitor (synonym Cryptus conquisitor) was first described in scientific journals in 1835 by T. Say in "Descriptions of new North American Hymenoptera, and observations on some already described," Boston Journal of Natural History.
