Proctotrypidae[1] | |
Proctotrupidae is a family of wasps in the superfamily Proctotrupoidea of the order Hymenoptera. There are about 400 species in more than 30 genera in Proctotrupidae, found throughout most of the world.[2][1]
Proctotrupidae are small parasitoid wasps, using beetle larvae and fungus gnats as hosts. Females in many species are wingless and dwell in the soil, where they are capable of detecting beetle larvae (e.g., Carabidae) in their burrows.[3] They typically have a body length of 5 to 8 mm, but species may range from 3 to 15 mm.[2]
