Biology:Helconinae
Helconinae is a subfamily of braconid wasps in the family Braconidae.
Taxonomy and phylogeny
Helconinae has historically been a large subfamily of 4 tribes comprising about 40 genera.[1] Following many changes to classification and included groups over the years, only one of these original tribes, Helconini, remains. Cenocoeliini was split into a new subfamily, Cenocoeliinae, by van Achterberg in 1984.[2] Then, the tribes Brachistini and Diospilini were split into another new subfamily, Brachistinae, by Sharanowski et al. in 2011.[3] The remaining Helconini comprise about 12 genera.[1] The Helconini subtribe Vervootihelconina was since elevated to tribal status as Vervootihelconini. The enigmatic Ussurohelconini, previously transferred to Cenocoeliinae, was again recovered as a tribe of Helconinae.[4][3]
