Annotated and illustrated world checklist of Microgastrinae parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera, Braconidae)
A checklist of world species of Microgastrinae parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is provided. A total of 81 genera and 2,999 extant species are recognized as valid, including 36 nominal species that are currently considered as species inquirendae. Two genera are synonymized under Apanteles....
