Integrated taxonomy unveils new species of Trigonalyidae (Insecta, Hymenoptera) from Yunnan, China

“…Trigonalyidae (Hymenoptera, Trigonalyoidea) are rarely collected parasitoid wasps with more than 120 described species in 16 genera worldwide (Carmean and Kimsey 1998;Smith and Stocks 2005;Santos et al 2012;Smith and Tripotin 2012;Chen et al 2014;Yamane 2014;Smith and Tripotin 2015;Tan et al 2017;Lelej 2019;Chen et al 2020a). These wasps are thought to be hyperparasitoids that attack the larvae of Ichneumonoidea (Hymenoptera), and Tachinidae (Diptera) associated with phytophagous primary hosts, mostly sawfly or Lepidopteran larvae.…”

Trigonalyoidea (Hymenoptera: Apocrita) – a new superfamily of wasps recorded in Romania

“…Trigonalyoidea is a small superfamily of parasitic wasps, comprising 16 genera and around 120 species, all belonging to a single family -Trigonalyidae (Chen et al 2020). Various authors spell the name of the family either as Trigonalidae or Trigonalyidae, but the latter is used here (for details see the paper of Engel and Lelej 2020).…”
