Distribution |
Worldwide. |
|
Biology |
Most are Idiobiont ectoparasitoids of pupae or larvae of
Holometabola insects. Hosts are killed or paralyzed by venom injected
during oviposition. A few Pimplinae parasitize adult spiders and egg
sacs (Araneae). |
|
Diagnosis |
Clypeus separated from face by a groove, usually with
apical half thin and apical margin notched, giving a bilobed appearance.
Propodeum often with carina reduced, with few or no area defined.
Metasomal tergite I usually short and wide, with glymma, spiracle at
middle. Ovipositor without dorsal notch. |
|
Diversity |
About 1540 species in 75 genera. |
