Guides
Acaenitinae
Acaenitinae is a subfamily of parasitoid wasps within Ichneumonidae, comprising 28 genera distributed across all continents except Antarctica. The subfamily is poorly known biologically, with only one species (Acaenitus dubitator) reared to confirm its life history as a koinobiont endoparasitoid of weevil larvae. Females possess a distinctive large triangular projecting genital plate, a key diagnostic feature. Traditional tribal classification into Acaenitini and Coleocentrini remains debated, with molecular studies challenging the monophyly of Coleocentrini.
Aceratoneuromyia
Aceratoneuromyia is a genus of small parasitoid wasps in the family Eulophidae, subfamily Tetrastichinae. Species are primarily gregarious koinobiont endoparasitoids of Diptera, especially fruit flies (Tephritidae). The genus includes economically important biological control agents, notably A. indica, which has been used worldwide in field release programs against fruit fly pests. Recent taxonomic work has synonymized Trjapitzinichus under this genus and described three new species from China.
Acerophagus
Acerophagus is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Encyrtidae, first described by Smith in 1880. Species in this genus are primary endoparasitoids of mealybugs (Pseudococcidae), with several species employed in classical and augmentative biological control programs worldwide. The genus includes notable species such as A. papayae, which has been successfully used to manage the invasive papaya mealybug (Paracoccus marginatus) across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Members exhibit koinobiont development and variable reproductive strategies including arrhenotokous parthenogenesis.
Adelognathinae
Adelognathinae is a subfamily of ichneumonid wasps comprising ectoparasitoid species that attack sawfly larvae. Members exhibit koinobiont or idiobiont strategies, with some species displaying unusual reproductive biology including egg deposition directly from the genital opening rather than through the ovipositor. The subfamily is best documented from Britain, where detailed studies have revealed rapid larval development and complex host-feeding behaviors.
Adialytus
A genus of aphid parasitoid wasps in the family Braconidae, subfamily Aphidiinae. Species within this genus are solitary, koinobiont endoparasitoids of aphids (Aphididae), developing within living hosts. The genus is represented by four species in Europe, with records from Turkey, Ukraine, and Scandinavia. Members are of economic interest as potential biological control agents of pest aphids on crops and woody plants.
Agathidinae
agathidine wasps
Agathidinae is a large subfamily of braconid wasps comprising koinobiont endoparasitoids of lepidopteran larvae. Members are distinguished by elongated facial structures in several genera, bright coloration in diurnal tropical species, and specialized mouthpart adaptations for nectar feeding. The subfamily is taxonomically complex, with phylogenetic studies revising tribal arrangements from 2 to 7 tribes. Species have been successfully employed in biological control programs against agricultural and forestry pests.
Aleiodes
mummy-wasps, Common Mummy Wasps
Aleiodes is a large cosmopolitan genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Braconidae, commonly known as mummy-wasps. The genus was established by Constantin Wesmael in 1838 and contains thousands of described species, with exceptional diversity in the Western Hemisphere. Females are solitary koinobiont endoparasitoids that attack caterpillars, laying eggs inside living hosts. The developing wasp larvae consume the host from within, eventually killing it and causing the remains to harden into a distinctive 'mummy' from which the adult emerges.
Aleiodes aciculatus
Aleiodes aciculatus is a species of braconid wasp described by Ezra Cresson in 1869. It belongs to the genus Aleiodes, a large group of koinobiont endoparasitoids known for mummifying their caterpillar hosts. The species is among the earliest described members of this genus in North America. Like other Aleiodes species, it parasitizes lepidopteran larvae, though specific host records for A. aciculatus remain limited in published literature.
Aleiodes molestus
Aleiodes molestus is a species of braconid wasp first described by Cresson in 1872. Like other members of the genus Aleiodes, this species is a koinobiont endoparasitoid that develops inside caterpillar hosts. The species belongs to a diverse group of 'mummy-making' wasps that induce characteristic behavioral and physical changes in their hosts. Very few specific details about A. molestus biology have been published in readily accessible sources.
Aleiodes pseudoterminalis
Aleiodes pseudoterminalis is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae, described by Marsh and Shaw in 2001. The species belongs to the genus Aleiodes, commonly known as mummy-making wasps due to their distinctive life history where parasitized caterpillars become desiccated and mummified. Like other members of this genus, it is presumed to be a koinobiont endoparasitoid of lepidopteran larvae, though specific host records for this species have not been documented in the available literature.
Aleiodes texanus
Aleiodes texanus is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae, first described by Cresson in 1869. Like other members of the genus Aleiodes, it is a koinobiont endoparasitoid that develops inside host caterpillars, eventually killing and mummifying them. The species is known from limited records, with at least one observation documented on iNaturalist. The genus Aleiodes has been extensively studied in tropical regions, with many new species described from Ecuador and other Neotropical areas, though A. texanus appears to be a more temperate North American species based on its original description.
Allophroides
Allophroides is a genus of parasitic wasps in the family Ichneumonidae, established by Horstmann in 1971. The genus contains approximately 12 described species, with Allophroides boops designated as the type species. Most species have been described relatively recently, with several added by Horstmann in 2013. Members of this genus are koinobiont parasitoids, though specific host associations remain poorly documented.
Alysiini
Alysiini is a tribe of koinobiont endoparasitoid wasps within the subfamily Alysiinae (Braconidae). Members are characterized by a distinctive exodont mandible condition—the only group of Braconidae with mandibles that open outward rather than downward. The tribe includes approximately 16 genera in the Dapsilarthra genus group and numerous other genera globally, with substantial faunas in Europe (over 400 species in related Dacnusini) and Australia (14 genera). Host associations are primarily with cyclorrhaphan Diptera, including leaf-mining Agromyzidae, fungus-inhabiting flies, and gall-forming Chloropidae.
Anomaloninae
Anomaloninae is a cosmopolitan subfamily of parasitoid wasps in the family Ichneumonidae. Members are slender, ranging from small to large, and typically black or brownish with yellow markings on the face and legs. The subfamily is divided into two tribes: Anomalonini, which parasitize Coleoptera larvae (Tenebrionidae and Elateridae) and some Lepidoptera larvae (Noctuidae and Tortricidae), and Gravenhorstiini, which parasitize Lepidoptera larvae. They are distinguished from other ichneumonid subfamilies by a highly reticulated propodeum, slender metasoma, fore wing with vein 3 rs-m absent, and swollen hind tarsi in males.
Anomalonini
Anomalonini is a tribe of parasitoid wasps in the family Ichneumonidae, subfamily Anomaloninae. The tribe is dominated by the large genus *Anomalon*, with *Neogreeneia* sometimes recognized as a second genus. Members are koinobiont endoparasitoids of lepidopteran larvae. The tribe contains approximately 5,600+ documented observations, indicating moderate research attention.
Apanteles
Apanteles is a large genus of braconid wasps in the subfamily Microgastrinae, containing over 600 described species worldwide. A 2014 study from Costa Rica's Area de Conservación Guanacaste alone documented 186 new species, suggesting the genus is far more diverse than previously recognized. These small wasps (1–5 mm) are koinobiont endoparasitoids of caterpillars, with most species showing high host specificity.
Aphidiinae
Aphid Mummy Wasps
Aphidiinae is a subfamily of Braconidae comprising approximately 400 species in 50 genera worldwide. These wasps are koinobiont endoparasitoids that develop exclusively within aphid hosts, with larvae consuming the host from the inside. Most species pupate inside the dead aphid, though members of the tribe Praini exit below to form external volcano-like cocoons. The group is economically significant for biological control of aphid pests in agriculture and horticulture.
Aphidius
Aphidius is a genus of small parasitoid wasps in the family Braconidae, subfamily Aphidiinae. Adults are typically less than 3.2 mm in length. All known species are endoparasitoids of aphids, with females laying eggs directly into aphid hosts. The developing larvae consume the aphid from within, eventually killing it and forming a characteristic 'mummy'—a tan or yellow, enlarged exoskeleton from which the adult wasp emerges by chewing a round exit hole. The genus has cosmopolitan distribution and includes species widely used for biological control of aphid pests in agriculture and horticulture.
Aphidius ervi
Aphidius ervi is a parasitoid wasp in the subfamily Aphidiinae, widely distributed globally and extensively used in biological control programs against aphid pests. It parasitizes larger aphid species, particularly Macrosiphum euphorbiae (potato aphid) and Aulacorthum solani (foxglove aphid), and to a lesser extent Acyrthosiphon pisum (pea aphid). The wasp induces host castration and immunosuppression through venom proteins, allowing its larva to develop within the living aphid until emerging from a characteristic 'aphid mummy' by chewing a round exit hole.
Aridelus
Aridelus is a genus of braconid wasps in the subfamily Euphorinae, comprising approximately 40 described species with cosmopolitan distribution but greatest diversity in tropical regions. These wasps are solitary koinobiont endoparasitoids of heteropteran bugs, primarily targeting nymphs and adults of stink bugs (Pentatomidae) and related families. Several species have been investigated for biological control potential against agricultural pests, particularly Nezara viridula.
Aspilota
Aspilota is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Braconidae, subfamily Alysiinae. The genus was established by Förster in 1863 and includes species distributed across the Holarctic and Neotropical regions. Recent taxonomic work has described new species from Denmark and Argentina, expanding the known geographic range of the genus. Aspilota is classified within the Alysiinae, a subfamily characterized by koinobiont endoparasitoid biology, though species-specific biological details for Aspilota remain poorly documented.
Banchinae
Banchinae is a large subfamily of Ichneumonidae containing approximately 1,500–1,800 described species distributed worldwide. The subfamily comprises three tribes: Banchini, Glyptini, and Atrophini. All banchines are koinobiont endoparasitoids of Lepidoptera larvae. Glyptini primarily parasitize Tortricidae, while Atrophini attack a broader range of small moth families. The genus Lissonota is notable for possessing exceptionally long ovipositors capable of reaching deep wood-boring Lepidoptera such as Cossidae. Banchinae and Campopleginae are the only Ichneumonidae subfamilies known to harbor polydnaviruses, which play a role in host immune suppression.
Brachistinae
Brachistinae is a subfamily of parasitoid wasps within Braconidae. Members are koinobiont endoparasitoids, primarily attacking coleopteran hosts including weevils (Curculionidae). The subfamily has undergone significant taxonomic revision: historically treated as tribes within Helconinae, then split with Blacinae, before Blacinae was synonymized under Brachistinae based on 2011 phylogenetic evidence. The genus Nealiolus has demonstrated potential as a biological control agent against pest weevils. Fossil representatives are known from late Eocene Baltic amber.
Bracon
Bracon is a large genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Braconidae, with several hundred described species and thousands remaining undescribed. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution, with the greatest diversity of described species occurring in the Palearctic region. Members of this genus are koinobiont endoparasitoids of lepidopteran larvae, developing inside living hosts while allowing them to continue feeding and growing until the wasp larvae are mature. The genus has been extensively studied for its potential in biological control of agricultural pests.
Caenocholax fenyesi
Caenocholax fenyesi is a strepsipteran parasitoid in the family Myrmecolacidae, notable for extreme sexual dimorphism and heterotrophic heteronomy—males and females occupy different hosts throughout their life cycles. Females are endoparasites of Orthoptera, while males parasitize ant larvae and pupae, primarily Solenopsis invicta (red imported fire ant) in the United States and related native fire ants in Mexico, Central America, and parts of South America. The species has a sporadic distribution across the southern United States, Central America, and South America, with three recognized cryptic subspecies that are morphologically similar but genetically distinct. Adult males are free-living with a lifespan of only hours to a few days, severely constraining dispersal and contributing to genetic bottlenecking effects.
Cardiochilinae
Cardiochilinae is a subfamily of braconid wasps comprising approximately 20 genera and 220+ species. Members are solitary koinobiont endoparasitoids of Lepidoptera caterpillars. Females inject polydnavirus during oviposition to manipulate host immune response. Some species, notably Toxoneuron nigriceps, have been employed in biological control programs against agricultural pests.
Cenocoeliinae
Cenocoeliinae is a subfamily of braconid wasps comprising medium-sized parasitoids (3-11 mm). They are distinguished by the high attachment of the metasoma on the propodeum, contrasting with most braconids where attachment occurs just above the hind coxa. Members are non-cyclostome and possess relatively large heads, often with darkly colored wings. Females have long ovipositors adapted for reaching hosts concealed within plant tissues. The group has been documented as koinobiont endoparasitoids of beetle larvae, particularly cerambycids, curculionids, buprestids, and scolytines.
Cenocoelius
Cenocoelius is a genus of braconid wasps in the subfamily Cenocoeliinae. Species with documented life histories are koinobiont parasitoids of wood-boring beetle larvae. The genus is relatively poorly known, with few observations and limited geographic records.
Cheloninae
chelonine wasps
Cheloninae is a cosmopolitan subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps, distinguished by a distinctive metasomal carapace formed from the fusion of the first three tergites. Members are solitary koinobiont endoparasitoids that primarily attack Lepidoptera, particularly Pyraloidea and Tortricoidea. They are egg-larval parasitoids, ovipositing into host eggs but completing development only after the caterpillar hatches and matures. Chelonines carry polydnaviruses that aid in suppressing host immune responses.
Chorebus
Chorebus is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Braconidae, subfamily Alysiinae, tribe Dacnusini. The genus was established by Alexander Henry Haliday in 1833 and contains approximately 430 accepted species. Species in this genus are koinobiont endoparasitoids of Diptera, particularly leaf-mining flies in the family Agromyzidae.
Clivinematini
Clivinematini is a tribe of ichneumon wasps within the subfamily Tryphoninae. Members of this tribe are parasitoid wasps that target sawfly larvae (Hymenoptera: Symphyta) as hosts. The tribe is characterized by specific morphological features of the ovipositor and associated structures that distinguish it from related tryphonine tribes. Clivinematini represents a relatively small and specialized lineage within the diverse Ichneumonidae.
Coelinius
Coelinius is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Braconidae, first described by Nees in 1818. Members of this genus are koinobiont endoparasitoids, meaning they develop inside living hosts without immediately killing them. The genus is part of the diverse ichneumonoid wasp fauna and contributes to biological control of host populations. Records indicate presence in northern European regions.
Colpotrochia texana
Colpotrochia texana is a small ichneumon wasp in the subfamily Metopiinae, first described by Cresson in 1872. It is one of four North American species in the genus Colpotrochia, which are koinobiont parasitoids of caterpillars. The species is known from Brazil (Santa Catarina and São Paulo states) based on distribution records, though the genus as a whole ranges from the Atlantic coast of North America to just west of the Mississippi River.
Cremastinae
Cremastinae is a worldwide subfamily of parasitoid wasps within Ichneumonidae. Members are koinobiont endoparasitoids, primarily attacking concealed larvae of Lepidoptera. Several genera, including Pristomerus, have been used in biological control programs. The subfamily exhibits high diversity in tropical regions, with numerous undescribed species.
Ctenopelmatinae
Ctenopelmatinae is a cosmopolitan subfamily of ichneumonid wasps comprising approximately 95 genera of koinobiont endoparasitoids. Members are small to medium-sized wasps that primarily attack sawflies (Symphyta), with some species parasitizing Lepidoptera. The subfamily was historically classified within Tryphoninae but was separated based on larval morphology and ecological traits. Ctenopelmatines are particularly abundant in temperate Holarctic regions, where they can constitute over 10% of local ichneumonid faunas in cooler areas.
Cynipoidea
Gall Wasps and Allies
Cynipoidea is a superfamily of small wasps comprising approximately 3,000 described species across seven extant families, with many undescribed species estimated. The group exhibits diverse life histories: while the family Cynipidae (gall wasps) are phytophagous and induce plant galls, the majority of species are parasitoids or hyperparasitoids of other insects. The superfamily is taxonomically challenging, with family-level identification historically difficult until the publication of a comprehensive illustrated key in 2020.

Ephedrini is a tribe of koinobiont aphid parasitoids within the subfamily Aphidiinae (Braconidae). The tribe comprises approximately 29 species in India, including genera such as Ephedrus and Toxares. Members are exclusively endoparasitoids of aphids, with some species exhibiting extreme polyphagy—Toxares deltiger parasitizes 27 aphid species and Ephedrus plagiator parasitizes 22. Several species have been successfully employed in biological control programs worldwide.
Ephialtini
Ephialtini is a tribe of ichneumonid wasps within the subfamily Pimplinae, comprising approximately 17 genera and at least 120 species. Members are exclusively parasitoids of spiders (Araneae), with many species belonging to the 'Polysphincta group' that attack post-embryonic spiders. These wasps exhibit diverse host specificity patterns, ranging from polyphagy across multiple spider families to strict specialization on particular host species or genera. Some species parasitize adult spiders while others attack spider egg sacs.
Eriborus
Eriborus is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Ichneumonidae with nearly cosmopolitan distribution. Species in this genus are koinobiont endoparasitoids, primarily attacking larval hosts in several lepidopteran families including Pyralidae, Cossidae, Sesiidae, and Noctuidae. Several species have been studied extensively for biological control applications, particularly against agricultural pests such as the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) and cabbage cluster caterpillar (Crocidolomia pavonana). The genus includes species with documented diurnal activity patterns and temperature-dependent developmental rates.
Euphorinae
The Euphorinae are a large subfamily of Braconidae parasitoid wasps comprising over 1,270 described species worldwide. They are characterized as koinobiont endoparasitoids, typically attacking adult insects or nymphs of hemimetabolous hosts—a notably broad host range among parasitoid wasps. The subfamily is sister to the Meteorinae and has been used in biological pest control programs.

Exenterus amictorius is an ichneumonid parasitoid wasp introduced to North America that attacks sawfly larvae (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae), particularly during the pre-spinning eonymph stage. The species exhibits adaptive host discrimination behavior that changes during the host's spinning period, lacks discrimination initially but rapidly acquires and maintains this ability. It shows strong positive density-dependent responses to host abundance and has established successfully on multiple diprionid hosts across North America. In multiparasitism situations with the native E. diprionis, E. amictorius consistently survives due to faster larval development.

canadensis
Exenterus canadensis is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, described by Provancher in 1883. The genus Exenterus comprises parasitoid wasps, and members of this genus are known to attack sawfly larvae (Hymenoptera: Symphyta). As with many ichneumonid wasps, the biology of this specific species remains poorly documented in published literature.
Glyptapanteles
Glyptapanteles is a genus of koinobiont endoparasitoid wasps in the family Braconidae, distributed across all continents except Antarctica. Species in this genus are distinguished by their ability to manipulate host behavior: after larval emergence from caterpillar hosts, the paralyzed host remains near the pupal cocoons and defends them against predators through violent thrashing movements. This behavioral manipulation is mediated by one or two larvae that remain within the host and sacrifice their own development to protect their siblings. Several species have been evaluated for biological control of lepidopteran pests, particularly Lymantria dispar.
Gnamptodon
Gnamptodon is a genus of small braconid wasps in the subfamily Telengaiinae. Members are minute parasitoids, with body lengths around 1.3 mm and fore wing lengths of approximately 1.5 mm. The genus has been documented from both Palearctic and Neotropical regions, with recent descriptions extending its known distribution to Brazil. Species are distinguished by subtle morphological differences in tergite sculpture, such as striated versus smooth second tergites.
Halticoptera
Halticoptera is a genus of chalcid wasps in the family Pteromalidae. Species in this genus are koinobiont endoparasitoids of agromyzid leafminer flies (Diptera: Agromyzidae). They have been investigated as biological control agents for leafminer pests, though host suitability varies significantly between indigenous and invasive host species.
