Labeninae
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
The Labeninae is a subfamily within the parasitoid wasp family Ichneumonidae. The family is divided into 12 extant genera grouped within four tribes.[1]
Distribution
Labeninae are predominantly found in Australia and South America. A few species of Labena and Grotea are found in North America. Research suggests that the family originated on Gondwana before the break-off of Australia.[1]
Biology
Some species from the tribe Labenini have been reared from wood-boring beetles of the Coleopteran families Buprestidae, Cerambycidae, and Curculionidae.[1][2] Members of the tribe Groteini parasitize solitary bees; Labium wasps are known to parasitise ground-nesting, solitary bees,[3][4] while Grotea are known parasitoids of cavity-nesting, solitary bees.[1][5] Species of Poecilocryptus are thought to be phytophagous, due to adaptations of the larval head capsule.[6] However, as with much of the Ichneumonidae, knowledge of many labenine species' ecology, biology, and evolution is extremely limited or completely lacking.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
