Blacini
Blacini is a Tribe (biology), tribe of braconid Parasitoid wasps. Formerly the subfamily Blacinae, this group was demoted to a tribe and placed within the Brachistinae based on molecular evidence in 2011. Description and distribution Members of this tribe are tiny and generally black or brown in color. They have non-cyclostome mouthparts and a carina, or ridge, along the back of the head. These wasps have a worldwide distribution. The genus ''Blacus'' is by far the most common and has a cosmopolitan range, with about 40 described species in the New World. The other genera are more restricted, and mostly found in South and Central America. Biology Little is known about the biology of species within Blacini, but ''Blacus'' species are known to be parasitoids of beetle larvae. Two species of the genus ''Dyscoletes'' Halyday are parasitoids of ''Boreus'' larvae. Males of some ''Blacus'' species are known to form mating swarms. Species These genera are members of the tribe Blacini: ...

Brachistinae
Brachistinae is a subfamily of braconid wasps in the family Braconidae. The genera of Brachistinae were formerly classified under the subfamily Blacinae, which became the tribe Blacini, and tribes Diospilini, Brulleiini and Brachistini of the subfamily Helconinae. Genera The genera of the subfamily Brachistinae include: * ''Aspicolpus'' Wesmael, 1838 * ''Aspigonus'' Wesmael, 1835 * ''Baeacis'' Förster, 1878 * ''Blacometeorus'' Tobias, 1976 * ''Blacus'' Nees von Esenbeck, 1818 * ''Brulleia'' Szépligeti, 1904 * ''Diospilus'' Haliday, 1833 * ''Dyscoletes'' Westwood, 1840 * ''Eubazus'' Nees von Esenbeck, 1812 * ''Foersteria (wasp), Foersteria'' Szépligeti, 1896 * ''Nipponocolpus'' Belokobylskij & Fujie, 2017 * ''Parabrulleia'' van Achterberg, 1983 * ''Schizoprymnus'' Förster, 1862 * ''Taphaeus'' Wesmael, 1835 * ''Triaspis (wasp), Triaspis'' Haliday, 1838 * ''Vadumasonium'' Kammerer, 2006 * ''Xyeloblacus'' van Achterberg, 1997 c g Data sources: i = ITIS, c = Catalogue of Life, ...

Foersteria (wasp)
''Breynia'' is a plant genus in the family Phyllanthaceae, first described in 1776. It is native to Southeast Asia, China, the Indian Subcontinent, Papuasia, Australia, and the island of Réunion. The name ''Breynia'' is a conserved name, it is recognized despite the existence of an earlier use of the same name to refer to a different plant. ''Breynia'' L. 1753 is in the Capparaceae, but it is a rejected name. We here discuss ''Breynia'' J.R.Forst. & G.Forst. 1776. In a 2006 revision of the Phyllanthaceae, it was recommended that ''Breynia'' be subsumed in ''Phyllanthus''; however, new combinations in ''Phyllanthus'' for former ''Breynia'' species remain to be published. ''Breynia'' are of special note in the fields of pollination biology and coevolution because they have a specialized mutualism with moths in the genus ''Epicephala'' (leafflower moths), in which the moths actively pollinate the flowers—thereby ensuring that the tree may produce viable seeds—but also lay ...

Diospilus
''Diospilus'' is a genus of insects belonging to the family Braconidae. The genus has cosmopolitan distribution In biogeography, cosmopolitan distribution is the term for the range of a taxon that extends across all or most of the world in appropriate habitats. Such a taxon, usually a species, is said to exhibit cosmopolitanism or cosmopolitism. The ext ....

Tribe (biology)
In biology, a tribe is a taxonomic rank above genus, but below family and subfamily. It is sometimes subdivided into subtribes. By convention, all taxonomic ranks from genus upwards are capitalized, including both tribe and subtribe. In zoology, the standard ending for the name of a zoological tribe is "-ini". Examples include the tribes Caprini (goat-antelopes), Hominini (hominins), Bombini (bumblebees), and Thunnini (tunas). The tribe Hominini is divided into subtribes by some scientists; subtribe Hominina then comprises "humans". The standard ending for the name of a zoological subtribe is "-ina". In botany, the standard ending for the name of a botanical tribe is "-eae". Examples include the tribes Acalypheae and Hyacintheae. The tribe Hyacintheae is divided into subtribes, including the subtribe Massoniinae. The standard ending for the name of a botanical subtribe is "-inae". In bacteriology, the form of tribe names is as in botany, e.g., Pseudomonadeae, based on the ge ...
