Name

Tryphoninae Shuckard, 1840
The Tryphoninae comprise a worldwide subfamily of the parasitic wasp family Ichneumonidae.

Most species of the Tryphoninae are koinobiont ectoparasitoids of Symphyta larvae, but members of some genera (e.g. Netelia) are ectoparasitoids of Lepidoptera larvae. Tryphonines have a hair-margined clypeus and two longitudinal parallel ridges occur on the first tergite. The female sometimes has stalked eggs projecting from her ovipositor.

Most species are Holarctic. Fifty-one genera are described.
Phytodietus sp. male (Tribe Phytodietini)
Phytodietus sp. pupa
Hercus fontinalis late instar larvae (tribe Oedemopsini)
