Adelius | |
The Adeliini are a tribe of braconid parasitoid wasps within the subfamily Cheloninae. Until 2016, the Adeliini were classified as a separate subfamily, the Adeliinae. [1]
Description and distribution
Adeliini are small, non-cyclostome braconids with the first two to four tergites fused to form a carapace. Wing veination is relatively reduced compared to other Chelonines.
Biology
Adeliini are koinobiont endoparasitoids of leaf-mining moths in the family Nepticulidae.[2]
