Guides

  • Anomalon picticorne

    Anomalon picticorne is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, subfamily Anomaloninae. The species was described by Viereck in 1912. Members of this genus are parasitoid wasps, though specific host associations for this species remain poorly documented. The species is known from North America based on museum specimens and citizen science observations.

  • Gravenhorstiini

    Gravenhorstiini is a large tribe of parasitoid wasps within the family Ichneumonidae, subfamily Anomaloninae. The tribe encompasses all genera of Anomaloninae except the type genus Anomalon. Members are parasitoids, with females laying eggs in or on host insects. The tribe is taxonomically significant as it represents the primary diversification of the subfamily Anomaloninae.

  • Therion

    Therion is a genus of ichneumon wasps in the family Ichneumonidae, subfamily Anomaloninae. The genus contains at least 20 described species distributed across North America, Europe, and Asia. Members are external or internal parasitoids of moth caterpillars, with several species serving as biological control agents of pest species. The genus has been subject to recent taxonomic revision in Japan, where four species are now recognized.

  • Trichomma

    Trichomma is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Ichneumonidae, subfamily Anomaloninae. The genus has an almost cosmopolitan distribution, with records spanning the Indian subcontinent, Brazil, Scandinavia, and other regions. Species within this genus are known to parasitize lepidopteran hosts, including pyralid and tortricid moths. The genus was established by Wesmael in 1849 and contains approximately 30 described species.
