Zabrachia is a genus of soldier flies in the family Stratiomyidae. [3] [4] Adults can be distinguished from other Pachygastrinae by the fused R4 and R5 wing veins. [5] Females have been collected during oviposition into pine wood, and larvae are known to live under the bark of coniferous trees, including lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine, and Douglas fir. [5]
