• Telenominae

  Telenominae is a subfamily of parasitoid wasps in the family Scelionidae (formerly placed in Platygastridae). Members are solitary egg parasitoids, primarily attacking eggs of Hemiptera, particularly stink bugs (Pentatomidae) and related families in the superfamily Pentatomoidea. The subfamily includes genera such as Telenomus, Trissolcus, Phanuromyia, and Eumicrosoma. Several species, notably Trissolcus japonicus (the Samurai Wasp), are used or studied as biological control agents for agricultural pests.
