• Giraudia

  Giraudia is a genus of ichneumon wasps in the family Ichneumonidae. The genus is also homonymous with a genus of brown algae (Phaeophyceae) in the family Chordariaceae, which has been studied for ecotypic differentiation between temperate and subtropical populations. The wasp genus is placed within the hyperdiverse parasitoid wasp family Ichneumonidae, though specific biological details remain poorly documented. The algal genus is known from marine environments in the North Atlantic, with documented populations in Danish waters and the Canary Islands.
