Biology:Coelocybidae

From HandWiki

Coelocybidae is a family of parasitic wasps in the superfamily Chalcidoidea.[1]

Characteristics

Species of this family are very similar to those of the subfamily Cleonyminae.[2] However, distinguishing characteristics of this family include an antenna with eleven flagellomeres, ventrally divergent eyes, mandibles with three teeth, and legs with five tarsomeres. Additionally, the postgena on its subforaminal bridge are separated by its lower tentorial bridge. Its metasoma does not have a syntergum or an epipygium.[3]
