Biology.

Reared as hyperparasitoid of parasitoid wasps ( Ichneumonidae and Braconidae ) and parasitoid flies ( Tachinidae ) in caterpillars, but some species are primary parasitoids of Pergid sawflies in Australia ( Raff 1934; Carne 1969; He and Chen 1986; Weinstein and Austin 1995; Carmean and Kimsey 1998). Collected mainly in April–October, rarely in November or January.

Distribution.

This genus occurs in all major regions, but is unknown from Europe and western Nearctic region. Most of the species occur in the East Palaearctic, Northeast Oriental, and Neotropical regions ( Carmean and Kimsey 1998).
