Diapriidae
The Diapriidae are a family of parasitoid wasps. These tiny insects have an average length of 2–4 mm and never exceed 8 mm. They typically attack larvae and pupae of a wide range of insects, especially flies. The about 2,300 described species in around 200 described genera are divided into three subfamilies, and the group has a global distribution. Diapriids show considerable diversity of form, with aptery (lack of wings) fairly common, sometimes in both sexes. Nearly all species exhibit noticeable sexual dimorphism, with males and females often mistaken for separate species. The wings, when present, show characteristically reduced venation, with the greatest reduction in the subfamilies Ambositrinae and Diapriinae. Selected genera *'' Acanopsilus'' *'' Acanosema'' *''Acanthopsilus'' *'' Aclista'' *'' Acropiesta'' *'' Anaclista'' *'' Aneurhynchus'' *'' Aneuropria'' *'' Anommatium'' *'' Antropria'' *'' Aprestes'' *'' Atomopria'' *'' Aulacopria'' *'' Auxopaedeutes'' *' ...

Neurogalesus Carinatus
''Neurogalesus carinatus'' is a species of parasitic wasp in the family Diapriidae, first described in 1907. It uses the Australian soldier fly '' Inopus rubriceps'' as a host, sharing its range in pastured areas of South East Queensland, northern New South Wales and its non-native range on the North Island of New Zealand. Description ''Neurogalesus carinatus'' have deep red-coloured legs and antennae, with a female body length of up to 5.5mm. It can be distinguished from ''Neurogalesus dissimilis'' and ''Neurogalesus rubripes'' (two wasps with similar appearances) by having a sulcus on either side of the median groove at the base of the abdomen. Distribution The earliest recorded sighting of ''Neurogalesus carinatus'' in New Zealand is in 1985, after a specimen was collected from Māngere in Auckland Auckland (pronounced ) ( mi, Tāmaki Makaurau) is a large metropolitan city in the North Island of New Zealand. The most populous urban area in the country and the fi ...

Parasitic Wasps
Parasitoid wasps are a large group of hymenopteran superfamilies, with all but the wood wasps (Orussoidea) being in the wasp-waisted Apocrita. As parasitoids, they lay their eggs on or in the bodies of other arthropods, sooner or later causing the death of these hosts. Different species specialise in hosts from different insect orders, most often Lepidoptera, though some select beetles, flies, or bugs; the spider wasps (Pompilidae) exclusively attack spiders. Parasitoid wasp species differ in which host life-stage they attack: eggs, larvae, pupae, or adults. They mainly follow one of two major strategies within parasitism: either they are endoparasitic, developing inside the host, and koinobiont, allowing the host to continue to feed, develop, and moult; or they are ectoparasitic, developing outside the host, and idiobiont, paralysing the host immediately. Some endoparasitic wasps of the superfamily Ichneumonoidea have a mutualistic relationship with polydnaviruses, the viru ...

Parasitica
Parasitica (the parasitican wasps) is an obsolete, paraphyletic infraorder of Apocrita containing the parasitoid wasps. It includes all Apocrita except for the Aculeata. Parasitica has more members as a group than both the Symphyta and the Aculeata combined. Parasitica also contains groups of phytophagous hymenopterans such as the Cynipoidea The Cynipoidea are a moderate-sized hymenopteran superfamily that presently includes five modern families and three extinct families, though others have been recognized in the past. The most familiar members of the group are phytophagous, especia ... (gall wasps). References External links Parasiticaat bugguide Insect infraorders Paraphyletic groups {{Apocrita-stub ...
