Neodiparidae is a family of parasitic wasps. It was formerly a subfamily of Pteromalidae, but was promoted to its own family in 2022.[2] It is found in the Afrotropical and Palearctic regions, and contains two subfamilies, which are both monotypic: Elatoidinae (Bouček, 1988) and Neodiparinae (Erdös, 1955).[3][4][5] These wasps are parasites of species of the genera Eriococcus, Phenococcus, Biorhiza, and Dryocosmus.
Anatomy
[edit]While species of the subfamilies Elatoidinae and Neodiparinae do have significant anatomical differences, species of both subfamilies have legs with five tarsomeres and a clypeus without a transverse subapical groove.[2]
