Anteoninae
Anteoninae is a large subfamily of Dryinidae wasps comprising five extant genera: Anteon, Deinodryinus, Lonchodryinus, Metanteon, and Prioranteon. Members are parasitoids of leafhoppers (Cicadellidae), with females possessing raptorial forelegs adapted for capturing hosts. Larvae develop externally on host thorax or between metathorax and abdomen, eventually forming soil-covered cocoons in the ground.
