Spilomicrini
Spilomicrini is a tribe of small parasitoid wasps within the family Diapriidae (Hymenoptera). Members are generally melanic (dark-colored), with body lengths ranging from 1.5–4.5 mm. The tribe includes at least 14 genera and exhibits high sexual dimorphism and intraspecific morphological variation, which complicates species identification. The genus Spilomicrus alone contains over 100 described species with worldwide distribution.
Zygota
Zygota is a genus of small parasitoid wasps in the family Diapriidae. Members are medium-sized (2.5–4.0 mm), melanic, and pubescent with brightly colored appendages. The genus occurs in the Palearctic and Nearctic regions, with 19 species documented in Germany alone. Taxonomic boundaries between Zygota and the related genus Pantoclis have been clarified through recent morphological and DNA barcoding studies.
