Brachistinae is a subfamily of braconid wasps in the family Braconidae. [2]
The genera of Brachistinae were formerly classified as tribes under the subfamily Helconinae. [3] The tribe Blacini was split into a separate subfamily, Blacinae. Blacinae was subdivided into the tribes Blacini, Blacozonini, Chalaropini, Dyscoletini, Stegnocellini, and Xyeloblacini. The Helconinae tribes Diospilini, Brulleiini and Brachistini were later split into another subfamily, Brachistinae. Phylogenetic studies by Sharanowski et al. in 2011 found the Blacinae and Brachistinae to represent a monophyletic lineage, resulting in the synonymization of Blacinae under Brachistinae. [1] However, further phylogenomic studies by Jasso-Martínez et al. in 2022 found Dyscoletes to be distant and not monophyletic with other Brachistinae so considered it incertae sedis . The authors also noted weaknesses in the phylogenetics of Brachistinae due to genera being omitted. [4]
The genera of the subfamily Brachistinae include: [1] [5]

The Braconidae are a family of parasitoid wasps. After the closely related Ichneumonidae, braconids make up the second-largest family in the order Hymenoptera, with about 17,000 recognized species and many thousands more undescribed. One analysis estimated a total between 30,000 and 50,000, and another provided a narrower estimate between 42,000 and 43,000 species.
The Stephanidae, sometimes called crown wasps, are a family of parasitoid wasps. They are the only living members of the superfamily Stephanoidea. Stephanidae has at least 345 living species in 11 genera. The family is considered cosmopolitan in distribution, with the highest species concentrations in subtropical and moderate climate zones. Stephanidae also contain four extinct genera described from both compression fossils and inclusions in amber.
The Cheloninae are a cosmopolitan subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps.
Agathidinae is a subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps. Some species have been used in biological control programs.
The Doryctinae or doryctine wasps are a large subfamily of parasitoid wasps within the family Braconidae.
The Euphorinae are a large subfamily of Braconidae parasitoid wasps. Some species have been used for biological pest control. They are sister group to the Meteorinae.
Meteorus is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Braconidae. It comprises over 330 species worldwide.
The Alysiinae are a subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps with over 1000 described species. Several species have been used in biocontrol programs. They are closely related to the Opiinae.
The Rogadinae are a large subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps. Several Rogadinae species parasitize pest caterpillars and are important for naturally occurring biological control.
The Cenocoeliinae are a subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps.
The Homolobinae are a subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps.
Blacini is a tribe of braconid Parasitoid wasps.
Wroughtonia is a genus of braconid wasps in the family Braconidae. There are over 40 described species in Wroughtonia.
Helconinae is a subfamily of braconid wasps in the family Braconidae.
Colastes is a genus of braconid wasps in the family Braconidae. There are at least 80 described species in Colastes.
Trachypetinae is a subfamily of the parasitic wasp family Braconidae. The family Trachypetidae was erected in 2020 for three rare Australian genera of large parasitoid wasps formerly included in the Braconidae, but was reduced to a subfamily in 2022.
The Acampsohelconinae are a subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps. Extant members of this subfamily were previously included in the Helconinae, Blacinae, or Sigalphinae. The four genera included are †Acampsohelcon, Afrocampsis, Canalicephalus, and Urosigalphus.
Illidops is a genus of braconid wasps in the family Braconidae. There are more than 30 described species in Illidops, found throughout most of the world.
Diospilini is a tribe of parasitoid wasp belonging to the family Braconidae and subfamily Brachistinae.
