• Eutrichosoma

  Eutrichosoma is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Eutrichosomatidae (Chalcidoidea). The genus is notable for its planidial first-instar larvae—highly mobile, host-seeking forms that actively locate hosts rather than being deposited directly on or in them. At least two species are recognized: E. mirabile Ashmead and E. burksi Baker & Heraty. The subfamily Eutrichosomatinae belongs to the Planidial Larva Clade within Chalcidoidea.
