Adeliini is a tribe of braconid parasitoid wasps within the subfamily Cheloninae. Until 2016, Adeliini was classified as a separate subfamily, the Adeliinae.[1]

Description and distribution

Adeliini are small, non-cyclostome braconids with the first two to four tergites fused to form a carapace. Wing veination is relatively reduced compared to other Chelonines.

Biology

Adeliini are koinobiont endoparasitoids of leaf-mining moths in the family Nepticulidae.[2]
