The Euphorinae are a large subfamily of Braconidae parasitoid wasps. Some species have been used for biological pest control. They are sister group to the Meteorinae.
Description and distribution[]
Euphorines are small, usually dark colored wasps. They are non-cyclostomes. Euphorines are found worldwide.[1]
Biology[]
Euphorines are solitary or rarely gregarious koinobiont endoparasitoids. Unlike most other parasitoid wasps, Euphorinae have a broad host range and attack adult insects or nymphs of hemimetabolous insects.
Wasps of the tribe parasitize adult beetles.[2] Its four genera are Foerster, Curtis, Enderlein, and .[2]
