Diplazon deletus
Diplazon deletus is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, first described by Thomson in 1890. It is placed in the genus Diplazon, a group of hoverfly parasitoids within the subfamily Diplazontinae. The species is known from limited records in Canada and northern Europe.
Homotropus
Homotropus is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Ichneumonidae, subfamily Diplazontinae. The genus is distributed across the Palearctic region, with confirmed records from Japan, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Twelve species are recognized in the Japanese fauna, including the recently described H. japonicum. The genus has undergone taxonomic revision, with several species transferred from the related genus Syrphoctonus and multiple synonymies established.
Sussaba
Sussaba is a genus of small parasitoid wasps in the family Ichneumonidae, subfamily Diplazontinae. Species are parasitoids of hoverfly (Syrphidae) larvae, with adults typically measuring around 4 mm in forewing length. The genus has a wide geographic distribution spanning Europe, North America, and parts of Asia including India. Sussaba pulchella is the best-studied species, with a published chromosome-level genome assembly.
Sussaba pulchella
Sussaba pulchella is a small ichneumonid wasp in the subfamily Diplazontinae, with forewings approximately 4 mm in length. It is the first species in its genus to have a high-quality genome sequenced, completed as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project. The species is a parasitoid of hoverfly larvae (Diptera: Syrphidae) and has a broad geographic distribution across the Palaearctic, Nearctic, and India.
Syrphoctonus
Syrphoctonus is a genus of ichneumonid wasps in the subfamily Diplazontinae. The genus contains numerous species worldwide, with over 30 species recorded from Europe. Members are parasitoids of hoverflies (Syrphidae). The genus name derives from Greek 'Syrpho-' (gnat) and '-ctonus' (killer), referring to this host association.
