Solenura is a genus of parasitic chalcidoid wasps with species found around the world. Males and females are dimorphic with females having a long ovipositor used for inserting the eggs into beetle larvae boring inside dead wood. Males are very rarely seen. [1] It was sometimes placed within the family Pteromalidae [2] and is now placed within the family Lyciscidae [3] [4] although it is found to be closely related to the genera Heydenia , Ditropinotella and Grooca . [5]

Species in the genus include:
