Aeptencyrtus
Aeptencyrtus is a genus of parasitic wasps in the family Encyrtidae, subfamily Tetracneminae. The genus was described by De Santis in 1964. Based on collection records from the UCR Encyrtidae holdings, at least one species, Aeptencyrtus bruchi, has been documented. The genus belongs to a large and economically important family of chalcid wasps, many of which are used in biological control programs.
Melanosomellidae
Melanosomellidae is a family of minute parasitic wasps in the superfamily Chalcidoidea. The family contains many genera, including Trichilogaster and Terobiella, and most recorded members are from the Southern Hemisphere. Biology is poorly documented for much of the family. Available records show that larvae and pupae of some members develop in leaf galls or stem galls on trees.
