Hymenoptera subfamilies

Entedoninae is a subfamily of wasps in the family Eulophidae. The subfamily includes over 90 genera.

The Alysiinae are a subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps with over 1000 described species. Several species have been used in biocontrol programs. They are closely related to the Opiinae.

Blennocampinae is a subfamily of common sawflies in the family Tenthredinidae. There are more than 100 genera and 600 described species in Blennocampinae. thumb|Halidamia affinis thumb|Tethida barda larvae thumb|Periclista larvae ==Genera== These genera belong to the subfamily Blennocampinae:

Pteromalinae is a parasitoid wasp subfamily in the family Pteromalidae.

Tenthredininae is a subfamily of sawflies within the family Tenthredinidae, the largest sawfly family. It consists of 28 genera, including the type genus Tenthredo. It also includes most of the larger and more colourful members of the family.

Tetrastichinae is a subfamily of the chalcid wasp family Eulophidae. It is one of the largest subfamilies of the Eulophidae containing over 100 genera and nearly 3,000 species. The species of the family Tetrastichinae are found in almost any type of terrestrial habitat and have a worldwide distribution, except Antarctica. They show a varied biology and hosts for Tetrastichinae wasps have been identified from over 100 different insect families, across 10 different orders and they have also been recorded as being parasitoids on nematodes, mites and spiders' eggs. Some species are even phytophago

The bee subfamily Andreninae is a nearly cosmopolitan lineage, with most of its diversity in one genus, Andrena, which contains over 1500 species. The remaining four genera in the subfamily only contain a total of 9 species.

thumb|Nematus abbotii thumb|Cladius difformis female Nematinae is a subfamily of sawflies belonging to the family Tenthredinidae. It contains over 1250 described species in ~40 genera. Members of this subfamily feed on a wide range of plants (over twenty plant families have been recorded as hosts) and employ a wide range of feeding habits, both internally and externally, on their host plants.

thumb|Diastrophus nebulosus (tribe Diastrophini) emerging from gall Cynipinae is a subfamily of gall wasps (Cynipidae). Many of the approximately 1,500 described species cause galls on oaks, but some induce galls on other plant species or are inquilines of the gall-inducing species. Species occur on all continents, except Antarctica, with most found in the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. All extant cynipid species are within Cynipinae since the only other recognized subfamily is Hodiernocynipinae, which is based on the fossil genus Hodiernocynips.

Teleasinae is a subfamily of parasitoid wasps in the family Scelionidae. It was previously considered a subfamily of Platygastridae.

Rhyssinae is a subfamily of parasitoid wasps in the family Ichneumonidae. It contains eight genera and 259 described species, but there are likely many undiscovered species. thumb|Rhyssella humida All possess long ovipositors, which are used by females to bore into tree trunks to lay eggs on the larvae of horntails and wood-boring beetles.

The Exotheciane are a large subfamily of Braconidae parasitoid wasps.

Heterarthrinae is a subfamily of sawflies under the family Tenthredinidae. It is primarily found in Eurasia and North America, with several species also in Africa and South America.

Eucoilinae is the largest subfamily within the wasp family Figitidae (Cynipoidea), comprising nearly 1000 described species in over 80 genera. They are small to minute parasitoid wasps that are endoparasitoids of cyclorrhaphous dipteran larvae. Eucoilines are recognized by the presence of a distinctive raised and often sculptured plate or cup on the dorsal surface of the scutellum (the mesoscutellum).

Perreyiinae is a subfamily of sawflies in the family Pergidae. There are about 16 genera and more than 90 described species in Perreyiinae.

Acordulecerinae is a subfamily of sawflies in the family Pergidae. There are about 16 genera and more than 100 described species in Acordulecerinae. thumb|Acordulecera

Perginae is a subfamily of sawflies in the family Pergidae. There are about 8 genera and more than 60 species in Perginae.

Cylloceriinae is a subfamily of parasitoid wasps belonging to the family Ichneumonidae. It contains two genera.

Mesochorinae is a worldwide subfamily of the parasitic wasp family Ichneumonidae.

Arginae is a subfamily of argid sawflies in the family Argidae. There are about 12 genera and more than 400 described species in Arginae. thumb|Arge ustulata

The Mesostoinae is a subfamily of braconid wasps with a Gondwanan distribution. The members of this family display sexual dimorphism, males are brachypterous, which means that they have reduced, non-functional wings.

Meteorinae is a subfamily of braconid parasitoid wasps; however, since 2015, most scientists have treated this clade as the Tribe Meteorini in Euphorinae. Several species have been used in biological control programs. The name for this group comes from the pupal stage, which, in species attacking Lepidopteran hosts, hangs suspended from a long thread of silk.

Entiinae is a subfamily of the chalcid wasp family Eulophidae. It was formerly better known as the Euderinae but this name was determined to be a junior homonym. It consists of 18 genera.
