HYMENOPTERA > APOCRITA | Parasitica > Ichneumonidae > Campopleginae

Confirmed as members of the Campopleginae subfamily, which is about as good as it gets from photos as the numerous genera are poorly defined and very difficult to identify even under microscopic examination. Campopleginae species are typically described as small, slender, black and brown insects with a laterally compressed metasoma (abdomen).

Campopleginae is one of our largest Ichneumonidae subfamilies with 336 recognised species.
