Calotelea
Calotelea is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Scelionidae, first described by Westwood in 1837. Members of this genus are part of the diverse platygastroid wasp fauna, which are primarily egg parasitoids of insects and other arthropods. The genus is represented by only a handful of observations on iNaturalist, suggesting it is either genuinely rare, undercollected, or restricted to specific habitats. As with other scelionids, species in this genus likely play important roles in regulating populations of their hosts through parasitism.
