Chrysocharis is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae. Species in this genus are parasitoids as larvae, with hosts of multiple species being Agromyzidae flies. [1]
Casuarina, also known as she-oak, Australian pine and native pine, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Casuarinaceae, and is native to Australia, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, islands of the western Pacific Ocean, and eastern Africa.
The Eulophidae is a large family of hymenopteran insects, with over 4,300 described species in some 300 genera. The family includes the genus Elasmus, which used to be treated as a separate family, "Elasmidae", and is now treated as a subfamily of Eulophidae. These minute insects are challenging to study, as they deteriorate rapidly after death unless extreme care is taken, making identification of most museum specimens difficult. The larvae of very few species feed on plants, but the majority are primary parasitoids on a huge range of arthropods at all stages of development. They are exceptional in that they are one of two hymenopteran families with some species that are known to parasitize thrips. Eulophids are found throughout the world in virtually all habitats.
Kiggaella is a genus of hymenopteran insects belonging to the family Eulophidae. There is just one described species, Kiggaella oryzae, only known from rice paddies in Karnataka and Kerala states, India.
Acanthala is a genus of generally dull-colored parasitoid wasps in the family Eulophidae, with three described species. The name Acanthala is a combination of the Greek root acantha, meaning "spiny" and Latin ala, meaning "wing". This refers to the diagnostic row of strong spinelike hairs on the upper surface of the marginal vein. The genus is only known from the Neotropics, with two species known from Brazil and a third from Belize and Costa Rica. The biology of the genus is unknown.
Aprostoporoides is a small Indomalayan genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae which was described in 2004 with two newly described species from Kerala.
Asecodes is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae. They are endoparasitoids of Galerucella larvae.
Baeoentedon is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae, they are parasitoids of whitefly from the family Aleyrodidae which are found on trees of the genus Ficus. They have been recorded from Australia, China, India, Indonesia and Florida. A fifth species, Baeoentodon farazi, was described from Karnataka, India, in 2017.
Ceranisus is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae. They are parasitoids of thrips of the order Thysanoptera and may be important in their biological control.
Chouioia is a genus of endoparasitic wasp of the family Eulophidae. Chouioia cunea is considered an important parasite of the fall webworm in China, where the moth is an invasive species.
Eprhopalotus is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae. Their distribution varies between species but ranges from Costa Rica, Mexico to Texas. There are currently 5 species of Eprhopalotus:
Goetheana is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae. As a parasitoid of thrips, this wasp is used in biological pest control.
Horismenus is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae occurring primarily in the Americas. As of 2015 over 400 species in the genus have been described. Horismenus species are often described as parasitizing other insects.
Kolopterna is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae. Kolopterna comprises 14–15 species distributed in the Palearctic and Oriental regions All Kolopterna species are endoparasitoids of gall midges causing galls on various Chenopodiaceae.
Omphale is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae. It has cosmopolitan distribution.
Quadrastichus is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
Tetrastichus is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
Tetrastichinae is a subfamily of the chalcid wasp family Eulophidae. It is one of the largest subfamilies of the Eulophidae containing over 100 genera and nearly 3,000 species. The species of the family Tetrastichinae are found in almost any type of terrestrial habitat and have a worldwide distribution, except Antarctica. They show a varied biology and hosts for Tetrastichinae wasps have been identified from over 100 different insect families, across 10 different orders and they have also been recorded as being parasitoids on nematodes, mites and spiders' eggs. Some species are even phytophagous, while others are inquilines and yet others are gall formers.
Hakuna is a genus of chalcid wasps from the family Eulophidae, containing the only species Hakuna matata. It was named in 2006 from specimens reared from a plant gall collected in a forest in Uganda. H. matata was named after a catchphrase from Disney's 1994 animated film The Lion King (the phrase itself comes from the Swahili phrase Hakuna matata. It was thought that this naming would best convey "an African spirit".
Leprosa milga is a species of Afrotropical wasp in the family Eulophidae, the only member of the genus Leprosa. It is a gall wasp which induces the production of galls on the seed pods of species in the genus Eucalyptus. It probably originated in Australia but has been recorded from South Africa and Italy.
Macrosaccus coursetiae is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Arizona in the United States.
