Megarhyssa greenei is a species of large ichneumon wasp. It is known from the United States.[1] It is very similar in appearance to Megarhyssa macrurus, but the latter species has a relatively longer ovipositor (about 2x the total body length, where greenei is only slightly greater than 1x), and usually has more extensive dark wing markings.
