Contents
Cremastinae are koinobiont endoparasitoids of Lepidoptera; and sometimes, Coleoptera larvae in tunnels, leaf rolls, buds and galls.
Cremastines are usually slender and brightly colored wasps, though exceptions exist. [1] They are most commonly found in warm and dry habitats such as coastal areas or heathlands. [1]
