Brachymeriinae
Brachymeriinae is a subfamily of chalcidid wasps (Chalcididae) established by Mani in 1938. Members are primarily pupal parasitoids of various insects. Some species are characterized by females having an elongate syntergum, referred to as 'long tailed' species. The subfamily includes economically important species used in biological control of agricultural pests.
