Myzinum is a genus of wasps in the family Thynnidae.[1] There are 63 species presently recognized in Myzinum. They measure 7–24 mm.[2] They are found in meadows, fields, and lawns.[citation needed] They parasitize white grubs (scarab larvae), including Phyllophaga.[3] They are used as biological controls.[4][5]
Distribution
Myzinum are found in New World and are most diverse in the Neotropics.[citation needed]
