Trissolcus halyomorphae is a parasitoid wasp species in the family Platygastridae. It is chiefly known for parasitizing Halyomorpha halys (brown marmorated stink bug).[2] It deposits eggs into the eggs of the stink bug. As the wasp larvae develop, they kill the stink bug eggs. A single adult wasp emerges from each stink bug egg.[3]
Trissolcus halyomorphae has since been treated as a junior synonym of Trissolcus japonicus.[4]
