Omphalentedon is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
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.
Achrysocharoides is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
Afrotroppopsis is a monotypic genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Dicladocerus is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
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.
Microdonophagus is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
Microlycus is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
Miotropis is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
Neotrichoporoides is genus in the family Eulophidae, containing approximately 70 species.
Omphale is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae. It has cosmopolitan distribution.
Pediobius is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the chalcid wasp family Eulophidae. Like their relatives, the larvae of these diminutive wasps are parasitoids of various arthropods. Some Pediobius are used in biological pest control.
Quadrastichus is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
Trisecodes is a genus of parasitic chalcid wasps of the family Systasidae. The genus was originally placed in Eulophidae, based on a number of morphological features, but molecular evidence suggests that the genus is more closely related to Systasis and Semiotellus. The type species is a parasitoid of a range of Agromyzid leaf-mining flies.
Hayatiola is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
