Oethecoctonus is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Platygastridae. There are about six described species in Oethecoctonus. [1] [2] [3]
These six species belong to the genus Oethecoctonus:
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.
Andricus is a genus of oak gall wasps in the family Cynipidae.
Calliscelio is a parasitoid wasp genus which contains two species, C. elegans and C. teleogrylli.
Anteris is a genus of wasps in the family Platygastridae. There are about 15 described species in Anteris.
Trissolcus japonicus, the samurai wasp, is a parasitoid wasp species in the family Scelionidae, native to east Asia but now found in Europe, North America, and Chile. It is chiefly known for parasitizing Halyomorpha halys. It deposits eggs into the eggs of the stink bug, and as the wasp larvae develop, they kill the stink bug eggs. A single adult wasp emerges from each stink bug egg.
Cynipini is a tribe of gall wasps. These insects induce galls in plants of the beech and oak family, Fagaceae. They are known commonly as the oak gall wasps. It is the largest cynipid tribe, with about 936 to 1000 recognized species, most of which are associated with oaks. The tribe is mainly native to the Holarctic.
Rileya is a genus of parasitoid hymenopteran named and described in 1888. It belongs to the Eurytomidae. There are 27 species currently assigned to the genus.
Thoron is a genus of scelionid wasps in the family Scelionidae. There are about 10 described species in Thoron.
Euperilampus is a genus of chalcid wasps in the family Perilampidae. There are about 18 described species in Euperilampus.
Monsoma is a genus of common sawflies in the family Tenthredinidae. There are at least two described species in Monsoma.
Neoptilia is a genus of argid sawflies in the family Argidae. There are at least two described species in Neoptilia.
Trissolcus is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Platygastridae. There are at least 180 described species in Trissolcus. They parasitize eggs of Pentatomorpha.
Metaclisis is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Platygastridae. There are at least 30 described species in Metaclisis.
Trichacis is a genus of parasitoid wasps in the family Platygastridae. Members of this genus have a tuft of setae on the mesoscutellum and transverse striae or rugulae above the antennae. They are parasitoids of Cecidomyiidae, although the hosts of most species remain unknown.
Idris is a genus of parasitic wasps in the family Platygastridae, containing about 160 described species. This genus is part of the tribe Baeini, which are egg parasitoids. Members of the genus Idris are mostly parasitoids of spider eggs, but at least one member of the genus uses stink bugs as hosts.
Aradophagus is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Platygastridae.
Nixonia is a genus of wasps. It is the only member of the family Nixoniidae in the superfamily Platygastroidea. They are amongst the largest of the platygastroids at up to 9 mm in length. Members of the genus are known from Africa, the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. The biology of only one species is known, which parasitizes orthopteran eggs.
Sparasionidae is a family of wasps in the superfamily Platygastroidea. Known species are parasitoids of the eggs of orthopterans.
