The Tryphoninae comprise a worldwide subfamily of the parasitic wasp family Ichneumonidae.
Behavior
[edit]Most species of the Tryphoninae are koinobiont ectoparasitoids of Symphyta larvae, but members of some genera (e.g. Netelia) are ectoparasitoids of Lepidoptera larvae. Tryphonines have a hair-margined clypeus and two longitudinal parallel ridges occur on the first tergite.[1] The female sometimes has stalked eggs projecting from her ovipositor.[2]
Distribution
[edit]The family Tryphoninae is cosmopolitan with the greatest biodiversity in the Holarctic.[3]
Tribes and genera
[edit]As of 2024[update], the following eight tribes are recognized.[4][5] Fifty-five extant genera are described[3][5] as well as at least 3 extinct genera.
