Euceros is a worldwide genus of ichneumon wasps in the family Ichneumonidae. It is the sole genus of the subfamily Eucerotinae.[1][2][3][4]

Euceros species are hyperparasitoids of Ichneumonoidea. First instar larvae hatch from eggs laid on leaf surfaces, attach to passing Lepidoptera or Symphyta larva and enter the body of an emerging primary endoparasitoid, such as a campoplegine or banchine or an attached ectoparasitoid. The genus has been variously placed in Tryphoninae and Ctenopelmatinae.
