Sympiesis dolichogaster
Sympiesis dolichogaster is a species of parasitic wasp in the family Eulophidae, first described by William H. Ashmead in 1888. The species epithet 'dolichogaster' refers to its elongated abdomen. Like other members of its genus, it is presumed to be a parasitoid of lepidopteran larvae, though specific host records for this species are limited. The species has been documented across a broad geographic range spanning Asia, Australia, and the Caucasus region.
