Cheiloneurus is a parasitic wasp genus in the family Encyrtidae.
Chalcid wasps are insects within the superfamily Chalcidoidea, part of the order Hymenoptera. The superfamily contains some 22,500 known species, and an estimated total diversity of more than 500,000 species, meaning the vast majority have yet to be discovered and described. The name "chalcid" is often confused with the name "chalcidid", though the latter refers strictly to one constituent family, the Chalcididae, rather than the superfamily as a whole; accordingly, most recent publications (e.g.,) use the name "chalcidoid" when referring to members of the superfamily.
The Eucharitidae are a family of parasitic wasps. Eucharitid wasps are members of the superfamily Chalcidoidea and consist of three subfamilies: Oraseminae, Eucharitinae, and Gollumiellinae. Most of the 55 genera and 417 species of Eucharitidae are members of the subfamilies Oraseminae and Eucharitinae, and are found in tropical regions of the world.
Encyrtidae is a large family of parasitic wasps, with some 3710 described species in about 455 genera. The larvae of the majority are primary parasitoids on Hemiptera, though other hosts are attacked, and details of the life history can be variable. They are found throughout the world in virtually all habitats, and are extremely important as biological control agents. They may also present as an ecological threat to the population of some species. For example, the endangered Papilio homerus butterfly is parasitized at a rate of 77%, making them the main contributor to egg mortality in this butterfly species.
Alexandre Arsène Girault was an American entomologist specializing in the study of chalcid wasps. An eccentric and controversial figure, Girault was also a prolific and dedicated entomologist. He published more than 325 papers and described over 3000 new taxa from Australia.
Anagyrus is a large genus of parasitic wasps from the family Encyrtidae. Anagyrus is distributed throughout the world. A subgenus of Anagyrus is known as Nesoanagyrus
Ablerus is the only genus in the family Azotidae. The genus was created by the American entomologist Leland Ossian Howard in 1894 for the species named in that year by William Harris Ashmead as Centrodora clisiocampae. The genus Azotus was synonymized with Ablerus by Alexandre Arsène Girault in 1913 and Hyatt synonymized Myocnemella with Ablerus in 1994, leaving Ablerus as the sole genus within the subfamily Azotinae. Azotinae was elevated in rank in 2013 to become the monotypic family Azotidae.
Gordon Gordh is an American entomologist.
Encyrtinae is a subfamily of parasitic wasps in the family Encyrtidae.
Anicetus is a parasitic wasp genus in the subfamily Encyrtinae.
Anicetus communis is a parasitic wasp species in the genus Anicetus.
John Stuart Noyes is a Welsh entomologist.
Austroencyrtus is a genus of parasitic wasps.
Psyllaephagus is a genus of chalcid wasps. It was named and circumscribed by William Harris Ashmead in 1900. As of 2017, Psyllaephagus contains approximately 245 species.
Parachalcerinys is a genus of wasp. As of 2018, three species are recognized, which are all found in Australia.
Moorella is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Encyrtidae within the superfamilia Chalcidoidea, in the order Hymenoptera.
Proaphelinoides is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Aphelinidae.
Schilleriella is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Encyrtidae.
Syrphophagus is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Encyrtidae.
Cheiloneurus paralia is a species of chalcid wasp in the family Encyrtidae. It is found in Europe. It is a parasitoid of mealybugs.
