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.
The Aphidiinae are a subfamily of tiny parasitoid wasps that use aphids as their hosts. Several species have been used in biological control programs of various aphids.
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.
Dinocampus coccinellae is a braconid wasp parasite of coccinellid beetles, including the spotted lady beetle, Coleomegilla maculata. D. coccinellae has been described as turning its ladybird host into a temporary "zombie" guarding the wasp cocoon. About 25% of Coleomegilla maculata recover after the cocoon they are guarding matures, although the proportion of other ladybird species which recover is much lower.
The Euphorinae are a large subfamily of Braconidae parasitoid wasps. Some species have been used for biological pest control. They are sister group to the Meteorinae.
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.
Microplitis is a genus of braconid wasps in the family Braconidae. There are more than 190 described species in Microplitis, found throughout the world.
Trachypetinae is a subfamily of the parasitic wasp family Braconidae. The family Trachypetidae was erected in 2020 for three rare Australian genera of large parasitoid wasps formerly included in the Braconidae, but was reduced to a subfamily in 2022.
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.
Pelicope is a genus of braconid wasps in the family Braconidae. There is at least one described species in Pelicope, P. yuccamica, found in California.
Aleiodini is a tribe of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae. It is represented in the whole world. It is the sister tribe to Yeliconini and Facitorini.
Betylobraconini is a tribe of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae. It is represented across Australasia. It is the sister tribe to Gondwanocentrini.
Facitorini is a tribe of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae. It is represented across the world. It is the sister tribe to Yeliconini + Aleiodini.
Stiropiini is a tribe of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae. It is represented across the New World. It is the second tribe to diverge within the subfamily Rogadinae. Rogadini was the first to diverge.
Jannya is a genus of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae and can be found in the Neotropical region. It contains three known species.
Jannya nigriceps is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae.
Ghibli is a bitypic genus of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae. It is represented in Bolivia and Equador in cloud forest.
Ghibli miyazakii is a species of parasitoid wasp in the family Braconidae. It is only known from Equador.
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.
