Pimplinae are a worldwide subfamily of the parasitic wasp family Ichneumonidae.[1][2][3]

Pimplinae are parasitoids of Endopterygota, often the pupae of Lepidoptera. Various species parasitize the egg sacs and adults of spiders.[4] There are 95 genera.

Pimplinae are generally sturdy black insects with orange markings. The first tergite is box-like with the spiracle anterior to the middle.
