Norbanus
Norbanus is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Pteromalidae, subfamily Pteromalinae. The genus was established by Walker in 1843 and contains species distributed across the Afrotropical region, Mediterranean, and other areas. A 2015 revision recognized four previously described Afrotropical species and described 21 new species from the region. The subgenus Picroscytoides was synonymized with Norbanus. Several species have been recorded as parasitoids of economically important crop pests.
