Species:
The Ichneumonidae, also known as ichneumon wasps, ichneumonid wasps, ichneumonids, or Darwin wasps, are a family of parasitoid wasps of the insect order Hymenoptera. They are one of the most diverse groups within the Hymenoptera with roughly 25,000 species described as of 2016. However, this likely represents less than a quarter of their true richness as reliable estimates are lacking, along with much of the most basic knowledge about their ecology, distribution, and evolution. It is estimated that there are more species in this family than there are species of birds and mammals combined. Ichneumonid wasps, with very few exceptions, attack the immature stages of holometabolous insects and spiders, eventually killing their hosts. They thus fulfill an important role as regulators of insect populations, both in natural and semi-natural systems, making them promising agents for biological control.
Acaenitinae is a subfamily of the parasitoid wasp family Ichneumonidae. Female Acaenitinae have a large triangular projecting genital plate.
Tersilochinae is a worldwide subfamily of the parasitic wasp family Ichneumonidae.
Diadegma callisto is a wasp first described by Horstmann in 1993. No subspecies are listed.
Hellwigia is a genus of ichneumon wasps. A specimin of the species was reared by scientists for the first time in the Netherlands.
Trogus is a genus of parasitoid wasp found in the Holarctic and Neotropic regions. It is placed in the subfamily Ichneumoninae and the tribe Ichneumonini. Trogus species are parasites of larvae and pupae of the swallowtail butterfly family, Papilionidae. The genus consists of twelve extant and one extinct species.
Dolichomitus is a genus of ichneumon wasps in the family Ichneumonidae. There are at least 70 described species in Dolichomitus. The name is derived from the Greek dolicho, meaning long or narrow, and the Greek mitus, meaning a thread.
Lathrolestes is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Ichneumonidae and the tribe Perilissini.
Alexeter is a genus of insect belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.
Itoplectis is a genus of insect belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.
Barycnemis is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae. Host species include the genera Byrrhus, Bledius, and Pissodes.
Enizemum is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.
Tranosema is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.
Sinophorus is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.
Eriborus is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.
Syzeuctus is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.
Rhembobius is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae. They are parasitoids of pupal stage Syrphidae.
Allomacrus is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae.
Dusona falcator is a large species of parasitic wasp belonging to the family Ichneumonidae, subfamily Campopleginae. It is a parasitoid of the buff-tip moth. It is one of the largest known species of Camopleginae, able to reach sizes over 20mm. The species can be found throughout the Palearctic realm.
Callidora is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae and the subfamily Campopleginae. It is relatively species poor, with only five recognized species.
