Trichopria
Trichopria is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Diapriidae distributed worldwide. Species in this genus are primarily pupal parasitoids of Diptera, with documented hosts including drosophilid fruit flies, sarcophagid flies, muscids, and other fly families. Several species have been investigated for biological control of pest flies, particularly the invasive spotted-wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii). The genus exhibits variation in reproductive strategies, with some species showing solitary development and others gregarious or polyembryonic development.

Trogus flavipennis
Trogus flavipennis is a species of ichneumon wasp described by Ezra Townsend Cresson in 1864. It belongs to the large family Ichneumonidae, one of the most diverse families within Hymenoptera. The genus Trogus comprises parasitoid wasps that attack lepidopteran hosts. The specific epithet "flavipennis" refers to yellowish wing coloration. Available records for this species are sparse, with limited observational data documented in biodiversity databases.
Unplaced
Unplaced is a genus of braconid wasps within the tribe Heterospilini, subfamily Doryctinae. The genus was established to accommodate species that could not be assigned to existing genera within this diverse tribe of parasitoid wasps. A 2013 study on Costa Rican Doryctinae described 286 species in Heterospilini, with additional specimens remaining in this genus pending further taxonomic resolution. The genus reflects the extraordinary undescribed biodiversity of braconid wasps in tropical regions.
Vulgichneumon terminalis
Vulgichneumon terminalis is a species of ichneumon wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, first described by Cresson in 1864. The genus Vulgichneumon comprises medium to large-sized ichneumonid wasps with characteristic color patterns. As a member of the Ichneumonidae, this species is a parasitoid wasp, though specific biological details remain poorly documented. The species is known from a limited number of observations and specimen records.
Wroughtonia ferruginea
Wroughtonia ferruginea is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae, originally described by Brues in 1907. The genus Wroughtonia is part of the large and diverse ichneumonoid wasp superfamily, which contains thousands of species that primarily parasitize other insects. Very little specific biological information is available for this particular species.
Xiphosomella dubia
Xiphosomella dubia is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, originally described by Brues in 1911. As a member of the Ichneumonidae, it is presumed to be a parasitoid of other insects, though specific host relationships remain undocumented in the provided sources. The genus Xiphosomella belongs to the superfamily Ichneumonoidea, one of the largest and most diverse groups of parasitoid wasps.
Yelicones
Yelicones is a genus of braconid wasps in the subfamily Rogadinae, containing at least 120 described species. The genus has undergone taxonomic revision in the Australasian region, where 14 species have been documented from Australia, Papua New Guinea, and Fiji. As members of Braconidae, species in this genus are presumed to be parasitoids, though specific host associations remain poorly documented for most species.
Yelicones pilops
Yelicones pilops is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae, described by Quicke and Kruft in 1995. It belongs to the genus Yelicones, a group of braconid wasps characterized by distinctive morphological features. Like other members of its family, it is presumed to be a parasitoid of other insects, though specific host records for this species are not well documented. The species is known from limited collection records.
