Sycoscapter
Sycoscapter is a genus of non-pollinating fig wasp which is native to the Afrotropical, Indomalayan and Australasian realms. They are parasitoids of fig wasps in the Ceratosolen, Eupristina and Kradibia genera.

Biorhiza is a genus of gall wasps in the family Cynipidae in the tribe Cynipini: the oak gall wasp tribe. Cynipini is the tribe partially responsible for the formation of galls known as oak apples on oak trees. These are formed after the wasp lays eggs inside the leaf buds and the plant tissues swell as the larvae of the gall wasp develop inside.

Apodynerus is an Indomalayan genus of potter wasps.

Pseudochalcura
Pseudochalcura is a genus of chalcid wasps in the family Eucharitidae. There are about 14 described species in Pseudochalcura.

Copidosoma
Copidosoma is a genus of chalcid wasps, which are parasitoids of Lepidoptera. The wasps are polyembryonic, depositing one or two eggs into their host which then develop into multiple offspring and have a soldier caste and a reproductive caste.
Hyptia
Hyptia is a genus of ensign wasps in the family Evaniidae. There are at least 50 described species in Hyptia. Most Hyptia can be differentiated from other genera by heavily reduced venation of the forewings, wherein only one closed cell is present.

Dicladocerus
Dicladocerus is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae.
Callirhytis
Callirhytis is a genus of gall wasps in the family Cynipidae. There are more than 90 described species in Callirhytis. Wasps in this genus primarily induce galls on oak trees in North America.

Chrysonotomyia
Chrysonotomyia is a genus of small parasitoid wasps in the family Eulophidae, with over 170 described species. Members of the genus tend to attack insect larvae that feed within living plant tissue, such as gall-formers, leaf-miners and stem-miners. The Neotropics contain most described species. Within the region, most attack galls induced by Cecidomyiidae midges, although there are also records from Torymidae galls, Cynipidae galls, Psyllidae galls, Momphidae leaf mines and scale insects in the family Coccidae.
Semielacher
Semielacher is a genus of hymenopteran insects of the family Eulophidae. One species, Semielacher petiolate, is used in biological pest control against Phyllocnistis citrella.

Aphelopus
Aphelopus is a genus of insects belonging to the family Dryinidae. It is recognizable by only one costal cell surrounded by pigmented veins.
Ceranisus
Ceranisus is a genus of wasps in the family Eulophidae. They are parasitoids of thrips and may be important in their biological control.

Belomicrus
Belomicrus is a genus of insects belonging to the family Crabronidae.

Laelius
genus of insects

Leptofoenus
Leptofoenus is a genus of wasp in the family Pelecinellidae found in South America, Central America, and southern North America. The genus contains five living species and one extinct species known from early Miocene Burdigalian stage Dominican amber deposits on the island of Hispaniola. With body sizes ranging from Leptofoenus species are larger than nearly all other species in Chalcidoidea. The genus bears a notable resemblance to the wasp families Pelecinidae, Gasteruptiidae, and Stephanidae.

Stenonartonia
Stenonartonia is a South American genus of potter wasps. The 15 known species of Stenonartonia are distributed across forested areas east of the Andes, with diversity concentrated on two areas: the Amazon basin and South-eastern Brazil. The distribution of Stenonartonia apicipennis seems to correspond with the distribution of the semideciduous dry forest system that crosses diagonally between the two above cited areas.
Stenonartonia belongs to a group of genera with axillary fossa tending to be closed by the nearby structures. Those species in the group of Stenonartonia polybioides have furthe
