Eucoilinae

Guides

  • Banacuniculus

    Banacuniculus is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Figitidae, subfamily Eucoilinae. The genus was described by Buffington in 2010. It is represented by at least one described species, Banacuniculus brautigani, known from a holotype specimen deposited in the USNM collection. The genus belongs to a diverse group of cynipoid wasps that are primarily parasitoids of Diptera larvae.

  • Ganaspis

    Ganaspis is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Figitidae (subfamily Eucoilinae). Species in this genus are larval parasitoids primarily of Drosophilidae and Tephritidae flies. Several species have gained significant attention for biological control of invasive pests, particularly Ganaspis brasiliensis against spotted-wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii). The genus has been recorded in Asia, North America, South America, and Europe.

  • Rhoptromeris

    Rhoptromeris is a genus of small parasitoid wasps in the family Figitidae (subfamily Eucoilinae). Species in this genus develop as parasitoids of chloropid flies (Diptera: Chloropidae), with hosts typically inhabiting conifer cones or grass stems. The genus currently contains nine valid Holarctic species, including the type species R. heptoma, which is an important parasitoid of the frit fly Oscinella frit, a significant pest of cereal crops.

  • Zaeucoila robusta

    Zaeucoila robusta is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Figitidae, subfamily Eucoilinae. First described by Ashmead in 1894 as Chrestosema robusta, this species is now placed in the genus Zaeucoila. Members of this genus are known as figitid wasps that parasitize dipteran larvae, particularly those associated with decaying organic matter. The species has been recorded from Brazil and Canada.
