Elachertus
Elachertus is a genus of small parasitoid wasps in the family Eulophidae. Species within this genus are primarily larval ectoparasitoids of Lepidoptera, with documented associations on hosts including tortricid, geometrid, syntomid, and gelechiid moths. Several species have been studied for their potential in biological control of forest and agricultural pests. The genus exhibits variation in life history strategies, with most species being idiobiont ectoparasitoids, though at least one species (E. scutellatus) has been reported as koinobiont.
