Etymology: From translingual Braconidae.

  1. Any of the parasitic wasps of the family Braconidae.

    “Other studies have identified potential examples (7), and, because D. alloeum is just one member of a guild of parasitic braconids attacking R. pomonella, it is possible that sympatric host races of Diachasmimorpha mellea and Utetes canaliculatus wasps are also associated with R. pomonella.”
