Koinobiont-endoparasitoid

Guides

  • Aleiodes laphygmae

    Aleiodes laphygmae is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae, originally described by Viereck in 1912. Like other members of the genus Aleiodes, it is a koinobiont endoparasitoid that develops inside host caterpillars. The species is part of a diverse genus containing numerous recently described species from tropical regions, many of which exhibit distinctive mummification behaviors in their hosts.

  • Alysiinae

    Alysiinae are a subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps containing over 1000 described species worldwide. They are koinobiont endoparasitoids of Cyclorrhapha Diptera, with females ovipositing into host eggs or larvae and killing the host at the puparium stage. Several species have been utilized in biocontrol programs. They are closely related to the Opiinae.
