Ghibli is a bitypic genus of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae. It is represented in Bolivia and Equador in cloud forest. [1]
The genus is named after the Japanese animation studio Ghibli. [1]
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.
Microgastrinae is a subfamily of braconid wasps, encompassing almost 3,000 described species, with an estimated 30,000–50,000 total species. This makes it one of the richest subfamilies with the most species of parasitoid wasps.
Apanteles is a very large genus of braconid wasps, containing more than 600 described species found worldwide. There are no native species in New Zealand, and none have been recorded in the high arctic.
Dolichogenidea is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Braconidae. There are more than 360 described species in Dolichogenidea, found throughout the world.
Bracon is a genus of wasps in the Braconidae, a family of parasitoid wasps. There are several hundred described species but there are thousands still undescribed. The genus is cosmopolitan, distributed throughout the world, with most of the described species occurring in the Palearctic realm.
Aleiodes gaga is a species of parasitoid wasp belonging to the family Braconidae. It was first described by Donald Quicke and Buntika Butcher in 2012 after a single individual was discovered in the Chae Son National Park in Thailand. The species is named after Lady Gaga. This species is one of 179 species identified by the first "turbo-taxonomic" search of DNA barcoding of cytochrome oxidase I (COI).
The Rogadinae are a large subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps. Several Rogadinae species parasitize pest caterpillars and are important for naturally occurring biological control.
Dirrhope is the only extant genus in the subfamily Dirrhopinae of braconid parasitoid wasps. Dirrope was included in the Microgastrinae until 1984. Specimens of this genus have been found fossilsed in amber dating from the Cretaceous period.
Aerophilus is a genus of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Braconidae. As members of the subfamily Agathidinae, they are koinobiont endoparasitoids of caterpillars. The host is attacked as an early instar, but not consumed and killed until the host is about to pupate. Nearly all species of Aerophilus have a narrow host range, attacking only one caterpillar species. However, the host range of the genus as a whole is quite broad, including many families of Lepidoptera.
Lytopylus is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Braconidae. As members of the subfamily Agathidinae, they are koinobiont endoparasitoids of caterpillars. This genus is primarily found in the neotropics, but ranges from the northeastern United States to Argentina. There are 39 species of Lytopylus, and many more undescribed.
Microplitis is a genus of braconid wasps in the family Braconidae. There are more than 190 described species in Microplitis, found throughout the world.
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.
Microgaster is a genus of braconid wasps in the family Braconidae. There are more than 100 described species in Microgaster, found throughout most of the world.
Protomicroplitis is a genus of braconid wasps in the family Braconidae. There are at least three described species in Protomicroplitis, found in the New World.
Gondwanocentrini is a tribe of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae. It is represented in the Neotropical region. It is the sister tribe to Betylobraconini.
Ghibli totoro is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae and can be found in Bolivia.
Jannya is a genus of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae and can be found in the Neotropical region. It contains three known species.
Ghibli miyazakii is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae. It is only known from Equador.
Racionais is a genus of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae. The genus is represented in Brazil and Ecuador. There are three species in the genus as of its description in August 2024.
Soraya is a bitypic genus of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae. It is represented in Brazil. As of the description of the genus in 2024, it holds two species.
