Entiinae

Guides

  • Acrias

    Acrias is a genus of small parasitoid wasps in the family Eulophidae, first described by Francis Walker in 1847. The genus belongs to the subfamily Entiinae and is part of the diverse chalcidoid wasp radiation. Members of this genus, like other eulophids, are likely parasitoids of other insects, though specific host associations remain poorly documented. The genus is rarely encountered in collections and has received limited taxonomic study.

  • Astichus

    Astichus is a genus of small parasitoid wasps in the family Eulophidae, subfamily Entiinae. Species are associated with bracket fungi and woody polypores, where they develop as endoparasitoids of Ciidae beetles (minute tree-fungus beetles). The genus was first described by Förster in 1856 and has been recorded from the Nearctic, Palearctic, and Afrotropical regions. South African species exhibit distinctive coloration and patterning that separates them from congeners in other regions.
