''Leucospis'' is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Leucospidae. Most species are brightly coloured with yellow and black patterning and about 2 cm long. They have characteristically enlarged femurs on the hind leg, with the lower margin toothed. The wings have a longitudinal fold and the long ovipositor is bent over their backs above the abdomen or metasoma. They are parasitic on wasps and solitary bees that construct cells and provision food for their offspring. The ''Leucospis'' larvae live and grow as ectoparasites of the host larvae. Usually, only, one parasite emerges from a single cell. The genus '' Micrapion'' from South Africa is very closely related, and phylogenetic studies suggest merging of the two genera. The genus ''Leucospis'' is found across the world in the tropical regions.
